Let it not be said
that reboots and re-adaptations are exclusive to movies. According to THR, NBC
and NBC Universal International are in the early stages of development of a Xena: Warrior Princess reboot with original
writer/director/producer Rob Tapert and executive producer Sam Raimi
spearheading the effort, which could see the return of Lucy Lawless to the role that made a star out of her.
A spinoff of Hercules: The
Legendary Journeys, this modernized take on the character is said to have "the
charisma and charm of Lawless and the smarts of The Hunger Games‘
Katniss as producers are said to be looking for a sophisticated and smart
superhero for a new generation."
Tapert (Lawless' husband), Sam Raimi,
and Bruce Campbell produced the original Xena series through their Renaissance
Pictures production company, which is currently producing Raimi's Ash vs Evil
Dead starring Campbell and Lawless.
