Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess

Lucy Lawless in Xena: Warrior Princess

Actress Lucy Lawless is calling on movie bosses to adapt Xena: Warrior Princess for the big screen - because she fears fans will lose interest in the fantasy series if it's revived for TV.

The New Zealand-born star is best known for playing the warrior pin-up in the cult programme, which she is desperate to see brought back to life as a feature film.

She tells Out.com, "I love that character. I would do it if it was a movie. I doubt I would do it as a TV series. I can't see how you would make it fresh.

"By the time somebody does come up with that I'm just going to be too old. And I'm really sad about that. I feel like it's a completely wasted franchise."

Right now there is a campaign going on on Facebook to try to get Universal to see that the Xenite nation is as strong as ever. Everyone should join it.

Xena deserves come back, it was abslutly unfair and wrong let her die and feeling guilty in that way. Not because people need heroes or fans need her own selfish dreams or whatever,Xena deserves to come back because never it deserved to die as a criminal needing redemption, Xena is not another hero, its the best character ever, and Lucy the best actress in the world. And its not a fan opinion, its the naked truth

V Zoe Bell was a bad stunt double for Lucy, her body was too skinny and she cannot act. What an awful suggestion. Although I wouldn't mind a Tarantino directed Xena movie.
