Xena Movie - Topic

Other than people being overly cynical, when all this thread is, really, is some fans and their dreams.

I would like to see a movie set amidst, say season 3, since between 3 and 4 gab was missing, and and 5 both were dead, it would have to be in the middle of a season, unless they reserrected Xena some how.

Or they could be set no where, but us Xenites would get picky over continuity etc..lol

I'd like to see some amazons, auto, few remaining gods (no ares, for obvious reasons) and a heap of cameos of long past characters.. i little minya there, a little meg, a little iolaus and herc, callisto depending on when its set to whether she is dead alive or indifferent, maybe bump into rafe and eldin walking down a street, a quick wave to pandora and bump into Lila in a bar with some hot guy..lol

I'm not trying to be realistic, and i don't wanna be told its not possilbe, due to work commitments of others... I'm just saying what i'd like to see.

And it would have to be LL & ROC, or the whole effort would be pointless.

Ubers have never rested well with SOME of the general fan population. The Clones and Annie/hattie/Harry were never popular WITH SOME FANS. Mel and Janice would be a more accepting movie than the clones and Annie and Co WITH SOME FANS.

I happen to like Annie, Hattie, Harry AND the clones.

If they do a prequel I can just imagine sitting through the whole thing making sure nothing was said or done that contradicted something seen in the series. If its a sequel I'd be carefully scrutinsing it to see if they have Xena/Gabs/anyone doing something they never would have done in the series. If that makes sense. How they bring Xena back to life wouldn't worry me, god we've swallowed ambrosia, Eli has raised us and we've had our fair share of crosses I don't mind a good 'coming of life'.

i'm sure the chances of a movie XWP NOT containing inconsistencies would be about as likely as it NOT having a secret from Xena's past come back to haunt them (or of me NOT being sarcastic...). if it is going to be true to the series, wouldn't we expect JAXI???

Exactly. I mean come one people - how consistent was the show to begin with?

How old would Xena really have been? (Pre freeze, that is) and look at Solan. He grew up faster than a bastard child on a soap opera.

It's not consistency I'm worried about, it's quality. I think if it comes to fruition, they will deliver.

I loved Ares and I would miss him in a full length film, but I wouldn't want him replaced. No more than I would want to see someone else as Xena. He's gone and they should show him due respect.

Now I vote for Sharon Bowers and Katherine Fugate as the writers. When Fates Collide would have made one Hell of a movie and you want "in character" uber, look at Bowers.

I was just looking through an old Xena magazine and I read a quote from a pre FIN/ post announcement that it was the last season interview with Lucy Lawless. In it she is quoted as saying that she wouldn't be opposed to playing Xena in a movie if Rob Tapert had the rights (I don't have the exact quote in front of me). So I guess we are to assume that if she made a statement like the one she recently did then either she changed her mind or Tapert got the rights which means that he'd be at least sort of involved.
And I agree with Shawn, I wouldn't mind Katherine Fugate writing at all. There are certain writers that I got the feeling from their episodes just knew and loved the characters (almost [Smile]

) as much as us. She's one of them.

Oh let's face it, no matter who writes it I'd go see it-- it's XENA! [Wink]

Disclaimer: Change all the 'we' in my posts to 'I'.

I'm sure I am being overly cynical but that's just my reaction to the idea of a movie. Inconsistencies sure, I would expect them, but as I said, or tried to say, for this fan the movie would be a risk. I would rather have the series remain untouched by a movie. It took me a long time to come to terms with FIN let alone a movie which may not stay true to the series.

That being said, considering the number of fans that would embrace a movie I hope the idea comes to fruition. At that time I will reassess whether or not I want to watch it.

As I said in my previous post, by that time I'll probably just be desperate for a Xena fix and my standards won't be so high.

I would definitely want to see LL and ROC in it though and if they threw Karl Urban in the mix it would be hard to say no.

Now, pardon my ignorance but what the hell is JAXI??

You know, I'd be happy with the Xena movie as long as:
--LL & ROC play Xena & Gabs AND
--For once, they share an actual kiss. And, no, passing water between their mouths does NOT count!

If that happened, I could walk away happy.

-Understanding this
Lotsa people are looking at movies where Female characters are in leading action roles. Xena started this entire trend. So Im certian that TPTB will sell out to any movie company that will pay, reguardless of what you think.

They will do it. Whose gonna turn down 10 million for the Xena name. Your hopes, dreams and thoughts of Xena will bought and sold by the highest bidder.

They will come out with all new action figures, and things for you to buy. We'll just sit here and eat this crap sandwich, they are feeding us.

hehe. you know, there are some restaurants that we sell to, that i have to tell myself, "after they pay for it, it's their pasta now and not mine." meaning, however they muck the top product i delivered up is on them. the thing is, most people don't know it was mine before it was mucked up. if they did i might feel differently about giving it up (albeit, for a fee...) to those who don't do it justice.

damn, cat, now you've got me thinking--i'd so much rather just be a sarcastic smart-ass... [Wink]
