I was wondering if there are any Xena fans here? Whether you like the show, love it, or just don't mind watching it sometimes we need your help if you haven't already. Xena Movie is in the works, but the only thing stopping it is the rights to the show. If you are interested in an Xena Movie happening, I beg of you to contact Universal Studios and ask for this movie. www.universalstudios.com (http://www.universalstudios.com) , Thank you for your support....:)

That's hot!

You guys should start a petition: http://www.petitiononline.com/

And yes, Kevin Smith died not too long after the series ended doing a movie. He was the best Ares. They wouldn't be able to put Ares into the movie, they would have to somehow work around that, if it happens.

Signed.

I used to LOVE this show. I'll vote for it.

Thanks, Everyone who signed this...You will be thanked by many Xena fans around the world, if it happens! What's everyone's favorite season? Mine is season 3. I like the whole concept of Gabrielle giving birth to Hope and everything. Plus you have the rift in Season Three. If you don't know what the rift is, it's "The Bitter Suite"

Didn't she stop acting as Xena because she was pregnant in the last series? Perhaps she just thought it'd had its run and it was good to go out on a high as well, or a mix of both reasons, or something altogether different :p. I would love to see a Xena move, I can't really imagine it in a movie format and being successful, who knows though. However, if there was backing for it and she decided to it, it'd be great but if she didn't want to for her own reasons I'd respect that. I think it'd be the decision of those with the rights to the franchise and the main characters to decide whether they would want to do a movie rather then just fan support putting the idea forward first but if she ever expressed interest I'd be with it 100% and totally sign a number of petitions lol. I'm just worried that it might end up a second rate sci-fi movie to add to the scores ofcorny sci-fi flicks that go straight to VHS/DVD.

P.S I know it's not really sci- fi :p it's fantasy and 'cult fiction' but the two generally go together in grouping.

Actually not, she was pregnet in Season Five and she lasted a whole Season Six. She worked her way around the show while being pregnet. Season Five wasn't strong because of this, lack of fighting, but talk about talent. Could you do a fighting show while being pregnet. They gave her a new outfit and all, which sucked. Usually people would end the show based on the pregnancy, but Lucy didn't. I would say that is very talented.

I used to watch it when I was a kid. I had her action figure, LOL.

Well what I meant was that she stopped as she was pregnant and that she was keeping it hence it would generally lead to a baby and possibly her wanting to take time off to be with it and the gap in the show for a year or more might affect it ;). Unfortunately I didn't see the last two series :( but I heard the last million dollar episode was great. Also, I wasn't questioning series 5 or any of its content or whether she could do stunts while pregnant. Of course though, she did have a stunt double or more. I don't know what her reasoning was staying on til that length in her pregnancy but it's not unusual like you said, most women who work stay right up until the last couple of months. Perhaps she wanted to fulfill the contract or finish the series properly, who knows.

I have only seen her in Tarzan after Xena but I don't know when she filmed that series and I'm not sure what her plans are, what I was trying to say was that because we don't know how she wants and is handling her career and family plans I would only be interested in a movie uf she expressedly said she wanted to do one first, rather then support it and then find out she might not have wanted to do it. Not that it's a bad idea or that a ton of fan support would force it, it's just my take on the idea.

Lucy Lawless has always said she would do a Xena movie. She has a couple movies coming out soon. Like she came out in Boogeyman this year and she has a movie coming out on CBS i believe on Halloween called Bats and then some movies next year. She still does movies and she sings at special events and such.

Ah well then, that is exactly what I was saying :), is she wants to do one then I'm all for it. I'd still be a little worried that it would turn out quite bad though :-$

She said she wanted to do it, along with Gabby. It won't be bad. I'm just worried about them getting back into their roles. Can they? It's been a five to six year gap. Can they pull their characters off again. Has for being bad, it can't be. If you are an Xena fan, it can't be bad. Has for non-Xena fans, it might be a different story. No matter what I will love it has long has Lucy and Renee is in it. But people who don't usually watch this kind of show, then it might be an issue. It will still make money. I have a feeling if this does happen, the only people who truly love it, will be Xena fans. I just hope they do it soon, she is reaching her mid 40's already.

I disagree with that abit^, there is a difference between complete utter fans without discrimination and fans who can look at a film objectively. For example, you can seriously love a series, cartoon, comic, book etc and then when the film is made see that it quite frankly, was poor quality. Just because you don't like one part of something doesn't mean you're not a fan, or a 'true fan'. I love Xena and always have, I was even ridiculously happy when I heard they wanted to name the next planet in our solar system Xena, (until I found out it was the tenth planet which is already named and hence would be unfair, and thankfully the scientists agree) and I almost bought Callisto's full and original outfit on auction for an amount I didn't have at the time a little while back - so when it comes down to it, just because I'm open minded about a possible film and that it might not work as well as a movie as it does a series does not make me a non-fan or someone who doesn't watch 'this kind of show' because I am and I do.

So your saying it all comes down to Quality. Everyone (Including Hard Core fans) will only judge this movie based on how good its done. That's true, but just seeing Lucy and Renee back in their roles is my opinion. For ex. Alien Apocpsle** starring Bruce Campell and Renee was a bad movie. But I got the movie anyway because the two main characters were what made it good. If they weren't in this movie, I would have thrown it away. It all comes down to Quality and Actors/Actresses. I don't really know how to explain this, but has long has they are in it, Lucy/Renee fans would be happy. Locusts starring Lucy wasn't a hit, but every Xena fan loved that movie. How ironic. Vampire Bats will be the same I have a feeling. Your right about one thing, when they made the cartoon Xena/Hercules from the series Tv show, it angered many Herc/Xena fans because it was a disagrace of the Tv show. It didn't fit the series at all, like when Gabrielle was turned into a bird. Where did this idea come from??? If they make this movie right, it should be a success.

It sounds as if you're confusing loving the actors/tresses and loving what they are in. You've just illustrated yourself, you might not like a movie but like the people in it so that makes it 'good' to you even though you admit the movie was poor. Also, every Xena fan loved Locusts? I don't think so. The Lucy Lawless and/or Xena fans you are talking about loved her, yes fine, not necessarily the movie, or perhaps some even liked the movie but no so much her performance. Then you went on to say it's the quality of the thespian, you/me/others may like the person, that doesn't mean we'll like everything they are in but we'll still like them perhaps, that doesn't make you less of a fan. I'm not saying that a Xena movie would be bad, I'm saying that I'm open to the fact that just like you said about the cartoon version, a movie might not work. It depends on whose making it and how they want to interpret it. If it's good and true to the story/characters or even different but still enjoyable then good, if it's not, it's not, it doesn't mean I'll like the character any less or the person, unless of course they did something I completely disagreed with, but that is another issue altogether.

It seems you're questioning when really in the above post you just exemplified what I said. For example, you asked whether I was saying it's all down to quality and then said everyone including hardcore fans will only judge it on how it's done, that is exactly what I was saying - it depends on how it is done. When before you said, Xenal fans will like it no matter what and then went on to say it can't be bad, now you're saying it depends on how it's done which is what I was saying. Also, you talk about Xena fans and 'everyone' as if you can predict what they will think, but then in the very next sentence say in your opinion.

Okay I see your point. Like when "Married with Fishsticks" came out. Not many Xena like this episode. I happen to like it, but that's me. Most Xena fans (Not all, trying to make a point) gave this episode a thumbs down, even though they are true xena fans. This is the point your trying to tell me and I understand now. If they were to make a movie, like the above epsiode, no matter how hardcore Xena fan you are, it won't do good. Only a majorty of Xena fans would enjoy this movie, but most wouldn't. I'm not sure if this would be a good movie idea, but it only fits the last episdoe, but they should go back in time and change the past so Xena doesn't die. That's the only thing I can see doing good has a movie. What do you see being a good movie? (Has in Plot)

Hmm, that's an interesting question. I agree with you completely, on having to change the past so that she doesn't die or make it so that she comes back (as they did tons of times with her and Callisto) to life or is reincarnated (like in the Indiana Jones episode) but I'm not sure about a plot outline. I like it when they do the epic stories, which it would need ot be for a film e.g. When she got knocked about by a tribe who were attacking some people, she saved a girl and got hit by a massive tree trunk, then Gabrielle had to save her and we saw her past with Ceaser etc. Or the one where she goes to China to kill the emporer. I was never keen on the Hope plot line though, hmm... I don't think it would work in the future or present, or a film where they were pretending to make a film about the series (like they did in Bewitched) - ah. I know what could be perfect. There should be an ultimate war between the gods e.g. bring the Titans back to life and against the current gods (who killed them to become the gods plus Zeus has to die because I hate him lol :p) and work Xena into it in a way where in the end she becomes a god too. The only problem would be that the actor who plays Aries is dead and it wouldn't be the same without him, unless they got a really good replacement, but yep I think if she somehow became immortal or a god, but just not in the way Aries wanted all along. Or perhaps she was a god, but became human. Something like that.

Working in the other characters wouldn't be too hard e.g. Autolycus and Salmoneus and it'd give the opportunity for some major Gladiator type battles but also have the persona, character conflict and struggle that we love from everyone - character plus action = Xena exactly to me :). They'd have to work in a little humour in there as well though to make it just right, but please, no musicals :p

Yes that would work. I forgot about the Bewitched movie. That was a remake and it flopped. That's probably because different actors, different plot, and everything else different. Plus the fact that they waited to long to bring that show to the big screen. Its been 5 years since Xena passed. And yes if they do wait another 5 or ten years for this movie, it will flop. But if they make it when the fandom is still strong like next year at the lastest, it should do average. Don't you agree? In 5 or ten years Lucy and Renee wouldn't be able to do the movie anyways. I think the best plot line would have to be showing Gabrielle becoming a warrior by using Xena's Chakram and all. I always laugh when Gabby made Xena's warrior cry. I don't think bringing back the gods against the titans would work. Xena killed all the Gods except Ares, but Ares is dead, unfortunately. I think like the way they ended it, they should have a movie take place in Egypt. There hasn't been any episodes, or not many in Egypt anyway.

Have you wrote to Universal yet? You should. I just did today. (Were the only people chatting in this topic. Were going back and forth with each other. We need more peoples comments........)

Ah I see, I didn't know that she had killed all of the gods (thank goodness :p - although Ares should have been first as a character imo) - because unfortuantely I didn't get to see the last two series and they sometimes put them on on non-cable tv but at really random times and dates and I miss them. I'm going to buy the DVD sets at some point to make up for it. So yes, Egypt and incorperating their gods would be fantastic, seeing as they've touched on the Indian ones already. It's great to show interaction between all those ancient cultures.

I think it's great when Renne does the Xena cry as well lol :D. I'm not sure I can imagine her being a better warrior then she became but you never know, and yes in another 10 years time it would be less convincing and mroe stunt doubles would be needed.

I haven't written to them yet, I'll try to figure out a good letter and see but I'll sign the petition though :)

You don't have to write them a letter, you can just email them (Contact Them). I gave the link eariler but if you need it again here it is...

I believe if we keep writing to them, they will give in too us. Everyone from the show want's this movie. Rob has a money budget ready and everything, even a script. So really if this movie does happen, the script has already been made. It was written by Katherine Fugate "When Fates Collide" Fans want this movie. Just the rights are the stop in movie. Universal owns the rights and won't give them up right now. But if we prove to them we want this movie, it could happen. Believe it or not, I wrote to Universal at least 5 times. I don't know if that's a good thing or not, but well see.

You really need to get the Seasons, your missing out a lot of good action/drama/comedy. I got all the seasons. If you can't afford all the seasons, they also have the 10th Anniversary Set which includes 17 episode favorites. Would you like the list for the episodes? I got that also. They missed out on a lot of good episodes though, like The Xena Scrolls.

Ok, I will write to them :) it would be great to see what it turned out like.

I have the first three seasons on tape, I'll get round to getting the rest. I don't need the list of episodes but thank you for offering :) and I loved the Xena Scrolls episode, that's the one I refer to as the Indiana Jones ep.

Where are you Xena fans? Show your support....please. We need a movie despertely. Show that you want this. Thanks again. Tell all your friends and family. Keep spreading this. Have them sign the petition and write an email to Universal. We can do this. Don't be a lump on a log. Get up and "Do Somethin'" (Had to had that in)

even if its a movie , Lucy Lawless will not be hot like old days cuz shes getting old

Lucy is still hot!!!! Vampire Bats was hot!!! Lucy won't be too old if they do it soon. She is only like 36 I believe.
