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 would love to see a Xena the warrior princess movie with Lucy lawless and Gabriella.
FAÇAM FILME XENA POR FAVOR!
Of course there should be a Xena-movie with Lucy Lawless in the lead role! I would pay the triple amount for the cinema-ticket - it would be so worth it!!
Please join and Like the Xena movie campaign 2011 on Facebook. Thanks!
Whoop whoop a Xena movie would be amazing the best thing in the world. Hope the movie is here soon.
A Xenae watch movie would totally be awesome! I love watching lucy and renee in there wild adventures!
Please make a Xena movie.... fans all over the world are asking for it, GIVE US A XENA MOVIE!! Greetz from Belgium
That one person who said they could make it so that xena is heterosexual made me want to smack them.
Xena deserves to come back (played by Lucy Lawless of course), this is not a caprixeau of anybody, Xena deserves it. A friend is need was unfair and wrong, Xena had been forgetting of anything years before, anyway NOW its time Xena learn finally to forgive Herself and well.. why not Xena can be the mother, heterosexual strong, happy and mother who Xena wanted to be? A lot of unfair and wrong issues are charged against this incredible character,the best character ever!
A Xena movie is MUCH needed !!!!! Lucy Lawless and Rennee O'Connor have to be in it !!!! Maybe it will happy. Some of the greatest victories are on the edge of defeat:). Xena was a hero in its rarest form, and would be a HUGE blockbuster hit ! Please:) make it happen !!!:) :)
Battle on Xena!!!!!!!
Pleaseeeee..I Want A Xena Movie!!!! After many years...ALL FANS are asking Xena: Warrior Princess" for the big screen!! LISTEN TO US!!!
Oh, no, thanks. Let Xenia be, what she is - a great but dead warrior. It was a TV-Series with good and with stupid episodes. It ended - RIP.
Guys...It's not gonna happen...Don't be ecstatic...The articul says that Lucy wants a Xena movie but that it's not enough..As you should remember the problem was the rights of the series...
For Xena to work, it needs to tidy itself up and look little more serious, to be taken seriously as a big block buster film. It's a Greek heroine story, so should look like one....! The tv serious made it look middle ages atmosphere. Nothing looked ancient Greek. Partly due to budget and filming in a Newzealand forest....
Yes, it is a good idea for a Xena movie, but the take on the movie idea, must take a different approach, to differenciate it from the tv series
I need her back! That should was amazing
As a producer and Xena fan, I am THRILLED that Lucy Lawless is interested in a Xena movie. Good news is: I am working on an epic fantasy film -- and I have just sent Lucy Lawless and her husband, producer Robert Tapert, a query letter about Xena’s resurrection on film. While I cannot give the details, I CAN say at this moment, that my proposal is the perfect and timely answer for a Xena movie. Lucy Lawless and fans will be very happy. Uncertain news is: I hope my query letter will reach her and Robert Tapert. Lea
We need absolutly need a Xena movie! I grew up watching xena to the final episode and was crushed that it was over. I'm in my 20's starting my life and a Xena movie would sure bring me alot of insperation! Lucy is such an awsome actress. Any writer, producer, director, Film corp who doesn't think that a Xena movie would be good IS DEAD FRIGEN WRONG! It would make so much money! But it has to be lucy and renee!! PLEEEAAASSSEEEEEEEEEEE PLEEEAASSSEE!!!
yes..a xena movie has to be done. I think Lucy, Renee, and the fans who didn't like the ending need final "closure"
dear god it has to be made y wont it be made like the amount of pure crap movies that are after came out in the past 2 years a xena movie is what the world needs we need a hero move that every one loves that brings joy and hope not just a 2 hour flop with no meaning like some hero movies xena always had a message in it no mather what ep a move would just be the best thing to happen
OMG I WANT A MOVIE SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO BADLY!! I would get on my knees and beg too. Lucy and Renee both have to star in it. I have been watching Lucy in Spartacus blood and sand and she could totally still do xena perfectly, she's just alittle more toned now that's all!! Omg omg I love xena so much you have nooooooo idea!! Please please please!!!
Yes please!!! I am completely for it. As long as it's with Lucy and Renee! I am willing to get on my knees and beg. There is no reason not to, it would make tons of money!
As far as Xena coming back from the dead she's done it before. lol Only Lucy and Renee can play those roles as for Ares replacement i think the actor from Angel and Bones is perfect. IMHO
Where does it imply that she is 'desperate' for the movie to happen? Anyway, I adore Xena and would love a X:WP movie.
I am ecstatic!! Never thought it would happen;we need Gabrielle too of course, and no-one but Renee O'Connor in that role.Please please please.
if anyone can recall xena died in the last episode. what is she going to do huant people in the movie.
I have been waiting for a chance to see a Xena movie for years and years that is my favorite show of all time. I really loved it,my twin sister and I never ever missed a episode.
I have been waiting on a movie of XENA.....it would be an awesome thing!!!!
