Lucy Lawless Wants To Star In 'Xena' Movie - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

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 program, 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."

I'd love to see Xena on the big screen! With all the action and scenery involved with this franchise it screams for a big screen adaptation.

So they would, what, just ignore the series finale (in which Xena was
decapitated) as if it never happened?
