Xena Movie News

Actually there isn't any new news...Sam Raimi was asked about it at Comic Con and this was his response:

Another fan asked about the possibility of a “Hercules” or “Xena” movie based on their TV series (which Raimi co-produced). He responded that while it could happen, it was really up to his co-producer and Xena actress Lucy Lawless (who are married).

Michelle de la Rosa passes away - we have lost another one of our own...the following was sent by Lida:

It is with profound sorrow that I have to let you all know that great friend and Xenite passed last night, July 29, 2007, just before midnight peacefully after a less than 2 month fight with Cancer. She was 39 years old. The memorial services have not been set yet and will let you know as soon as I have that information.

Zap2It Goes to Comic Con

  • 'Battlestar' unboxes Lucy Lawless, begins senior year goodbye
    Fans cheered the fashionably and deliberately late appearance of Lucy Lawless for the Saturday afternoon women of Battlestar Galactica panel. Sure, there's always been love for the former warrior princess, but her presence signified that her character, the cylon Number Three (aka D'anna Biers), would be returning to the series after getting the cylon version of banishment last season...click here to read more

More about Lucy's Return to BSG

The following is from TV Blend

ComicCon: Lucy Lawless Brings Three Back To Battlestar Galactica

 You can’t keep a good – or bad depending on your point of view – Cylon down. At the ‘Battlestar Galactica’ panel at Comic-Con this year Lucy Lawless made a surprising appearance, walking on stage to join her fellow cast mates. Fans had wondered if Lawless would be reprising her role as D’Anna in the upcoming final season of the series. ”I’m coming back to cause some trouble,” Lawless told the fans.

Details on D’Anna’s return are being kept under wraps, but when she does Ronald Moore will have some explaining to do. Last season the Cylon model Lawless portrayed was “boxed” by the Brother Cavil model. The effect is the closest thing to death that the Cylons experience. Essentially everything about her particular model has been sealed away. Why and how she comes back will be interesting. I’m guessing that Baltar and Six will somehow be involved in that plan.

Moore said that D’Anna’s return is planned for around episode 10, and Lawless is signed for 2 or 3 episodes. He also reinforced the idea that the Cylons actually do have a plan, and D’Anna is a part of it. ”We will unbox her and spring D’Anna forth!”

Battlestar Galactica

Scifi.com Update

SCI FI Channel announced that Lucy Lawless will return to Battlestar Galactica for a minimum of two episodes of the show' s upcoming fourth and final season, currently in production in Vancouver. Lawless will reprise her role as D' Anna, the religious zealot who was deemed defective.
 

Confirmed: Lucy to head back to BSG for Season 4

The following is from the Comic-Con Panel article at TV Squad:

Not much was revealed in terms of upcoming plot twists or who will survive the show's next and last season although Ron Moore said that Baltar and Six's destinies will probably most surprise us. The one quasi-spoiler was the return of Lucy Lawless. D'Anna will be "unboxed" for a three episode arc late in Season 4.

--

The following is from ScifiStream and confirms Lucy is returning to BSG
Source: ScifiStream

Acclaimed actress Lucy Lawless will return for at least two episodes of Battlestar Galactica's fourth and final season, SCI FI Channel announced today.

Lawless plays the Cylon model D'Anna, who appeared in a handful of Season Two episodes before returning for an 11-episode stint in Season Three. D'Anna's quest to discover what lies between life and death caused her to kill herself and be resurrected in a new Cylon body over and over, until she finally visited a lost temple and saw a vision of the final five, previously unknown Cylon models.

Her behavior was shocking to her fellow Cylons, who eventually decided to "box" her entire model as fundamentally flawed.

After the shocking final moments of Season Three, only one Cylon model remains unrevealed.

The new season officially starts in early 2008, following this November's 2-hour television movie.

Lucy Pictures

Lucy was at Coupland's Bakery to honour a Starship Auction when she auctioned herself and Kerrie Woodham off for charity and Coupland's Bakery won. The following pics are from the KO Donut's site showing Lucy and Kerrie hard at work

Lucy and Kerre Visit ( 22 Nov 2006 )

Former star of the cult TV show Xena Warrior Princess, Lucy Lawless, and radio and TV personality, Kerre Woodham, spent a day at the Coupland’s bakery in Hornby, Christchurch. They worked in the bakery (Lucy’s speciality – potato top pies, Kerre’s – iced chocolate cake!), served customers in the store (or rather packaged up the customer’s purchases and left the tills to the experts!) and had a sneak preview of KO’s Donuts before they opened the following weekend. Ray Coupland paid $17,000 to win the services of the dynamic duo for a day, when he attended the Auckland Cup Charity Ball earlier this year as part of a fundraiser for Starship Hospital.

From Lida:

For the friends of Michelle De La Rosa that are on this list, I just talked to her mother and she is being moved into Hospice today. It has been less than 2 months since the Cancer was discovered. Please keep her and her family in your thoughts and prayers.

They are her last First Edition copies of Malicious Pursuit & Shaken, and the covers were designed by none other than Michelle.

Lucy Mention / Burn Notice Guest Appearance

The following was posted on BuddyTV as part of an interview with Exclusive Interview: Jeffrey Donovan, from 'Burn Notice'

  • What would you say has been the most fun thing you’ve done on Burn Notice so far? I mean, you mentioned you’re jumping over cars and doing all kinds of crazy things today.

    The most fun I’ve had on
    Burn Notice, I think it would have to be working with China Chow and Lucy Lawless. They’re in an upcoming episode and they basically wrestling for my affection, and what’s hard and great at the same time is not only are they in love with me onscreen, they are off-screen, and that’s hard, because you know, to mix those two, it’s just... And then there’s Gabrielle…it’s just always women always wanting me all the time, that’s what’s most fun.

A Friend In Need...

One of our own Michelle De La Rosa is in hospital and very ill - Michelle has cancer. Michelle has been a part of this fandom forever and she needs all the support we can give her. Lida and her sister have organised a fundraiser to help meet Michelle's medical costs. If you would like to help please see how below:

Message from Lida and her sister:

I will donate 100% of my profits to Michelle to help her pay for all her expenses.  All available products can be viewed on my website, www.tastefullysimple.com/web/lbrowning.  People should NOT order through my website (my profit, and thus my donation, would be lower, plus their shipping would be higher).  People can e-mail me directly with their orders, at simplylaurakb@gmail.com - please include 'Michelle' in the subject line.  I'll e-mail them with their totals, and then they can call or e-mail me with their credit card info, or I can send them an invoice through ProPay.com and they can submit their cc info themselves.  If anyone in the area wants to host a party in August, I will donate all the profits from that as well (great for anyone not familiar with our products!).

Renee wanted to explore adding heart to intellect. She leaves Friday and will be filming for a month. FYI, she wanted to let everyone know the character of her ex-husband has undergone a name change to Nicholas Solomon. She made a point of saying she wanted everyone to know that as she didn't think "Nicholas" would  appreciate being called "David."

I was at the Human Rights Campaign's annual awards dinner and gala in San Francisco Saturday night, where George Takei received HRC's Equality Award, Elizabeth Edwards gave the keynote address, and the always-gorgeous Lucy Lawless gave us three wardrobe changes and a whole lotta love for her gay fans. And I’m here to tell you it's official: Mr. Sulu loves him some Xena. “Isn’t she fabulous?” he said of Lawless, who swished over in a low cut black gown. “I’ve never met her before.”

Renee O'Connor cast as lead in new Sci Fi channel movie "The Genesis Code"

I just got an exclusive tip that Renee O'Connor has been cast as the female lead in the new Sci Fi channel movie The Genesis Code, which starts filming next month.
Here's how the movie's plot is described:

    Buried under the sands of Iraq world famous archaeologist David Solomon has found a clue to the one of the ancient mysteries of the Old Testament. Solomon’s discovery leads to a remote desert which contains the remnants of an ark. The team must fight off insurgents as they uncover the mystery. Things turn deadly as they discover this ark didn’t carry animals, it carried something evil.

Okay, sounds cool and all, but let's get to what you care about: how Renee figures in to this. She plays an accomplished scientist — who also happens to be David's ex-wife:

    Eva is stunning and sophisticated. She's an accomplished scientist that specializes in carbon dating and translating ancient documents. She's confident, cocky and at the top of her game. She also can't stand David Solomon, even though they were married for five years. Now that they're divorced she likes him even less.
