www.hollywoodreporter.com/live-feed/xena-reboot-nbc-confirms-search-815073I'll admit the original series is still one of my all time favorite TV shows. This reboot has been discussed and rumored for over a year and finally NBC speaks up. It's really disheartening that they have Tapert and Raimi on board, but Lucy Lawless's involvement is still up in the air. She's been the biggest supporter of a comeback for years and for them to not involve her in the on screen story because she might over shadow seems like a bad idea to me. If her and the original Gabrielle aren't involved, my expectations will be low. At the least I'm hoping this carries over into new figures and maybe even a continuation of the Xena vs Army of Darkness comic book series.

There has to be someone out there writing new scripts with original content.

Lucy is Xena. No interest in seeing anyone else as Xena.
It'd be like recasting Buffy. You can't do it.

Only interested in this if they bring back syndication and put it on the Action Pack block with Hercules again....

Personally I think it will flop.

That's their biggest obstacle and the way Greenblatt said it, it seems like Lucy as Xena is nowhere near the direction they're taking. In a lot of the articles The Hunger Games is mentioned and I'll really be disappointed if they go that teenage route. |

So they're essentially going to do Young Xena? Ryan Gosling is not amused.  |

Crud.
Not surprising, but to see anyone but Lucy Lawless involved would suck greatly.

I would give it a chance although I don't know if it would be any good.

I wanted to see an aging Xena battling mythical foes, maybe even to a point where she is struggling to fight these creatures alone and is struggling with her mortality. I would of loved to seen a cold, war veteran like Xena with no remorse for her foes, even to a point where she blurred the line between good and evil.
But no instead we are getting a reboot where Lucy Lawless will play the new Xena's mother. It really doesn't make any sense to create a prequel to Xena and have character basically be the same (a warrior fighting the good fight) Xena was an evil warrior before she encountered Hercules.
