Xena Reboot

[samurainoir]

I would have expected them to go the Ash vs Evil Dead route with Lawless. Hoping she's still going to be a major part of this.

Rene O'Conner is patiently waiting by the phone.

Xena will be played by a 15 year old girl. Hercules will still have bad skin...

According to Lucy it isn't true ...

NBC would be a terrible place to put it. It actually would be better to reboot it at this point. They made a mess of the storylines. Plan it out a little better. Its just to late to use Lucy in the role. It was tough on her even when she was young.

A reboot? In that case they can give the part to a guy, and call him Xeno.

I love Xena but can't see her lasting very long on NBC. I really don't see a need for a reboot but I wouldn't mind seeing an original character like her instead.

The networks are desperate. Sitcoms and reality shows are not cutting it, not that they ever did. With Xena, they can take a camera and go shoot in the woods, not like building expensive spaceship sets. God forbid they try to do a show like Star Trek...

If it's on NBC i'm guessing they'll turn Xena straight

[JediJaida]

Would they be shooting it in Australia, or here in the U.S? It might be cheaper doing it overseas.

To tell the truth, I'm hoping that they don't do a reboot. They pretty much killed her off for good in the last episode, and couched it in such a way that she could only come back as a ghost.

I liked the show, I really did. She was a strong, independent woman that had a dark past and was doing her best to overcome it in a very male dominated world. She was intelligent, skilled, sneaky, ruthless when necessary, yet had compassion for a great many.

I really don't see them being able to capture the magic of the original, even with Lucy on board.

I just wish that there were Mego type figures for this line, with accurate accessories. I'd definitely get one of Xena, Gabrielle, Aeolus, Autolocus, Ares, Aphrodite, and maybe even Hercules. Just not Joxer.

And apparently Lucy knows nothing ...

“Yes, we’re in the early stages of developing a new take on ‘Xena,’ and we’re looking for a writer,” NBC Entertainment Chairman Bob Greenblatt told The Hollywood Reporter. “We want to do it.”

No matter how they do it they'll have to get a different Ares and Kevin Smith was awesome playing that part.
