Xena - Lucy Lawless Rob Tapert, former producer of TV’s Xena: Warrior Princess, told SCI FI Wire that pretty much everyone involved in the old show would love to see Xena (Lucy Lawless) pick up her chakram once again for a TV movie or some other kind of reunion project.

Tapert said he even had an idea in mind, but that matters are entirely out of his hands.

“That’s a Universal question,” Tapert said in an interview, adding: “Meaning [NBC] Universal … Television [Group]. I don’t control the strings.”

Xena ran from 1995-2001 and starred Lawless–aka Mrs. Rob Tapert–as the title heroine and Renee O’Connor as her plucky sidekick, Gabrielle. The show was both a mainstream and a cult success during its time on the air, and to this day its stars and makers attend conventions worldwide.

Unfortunately, fans’ hopes for a reunion movie have yet to be realized. “We said long ago that we’d love to do something,” Tapert said. “We have a fun, 300-style idea for it. … I can’t answer [why nothing's happening].” (NBC Universal Television is owned by NBC Universal, which also owns SCIFI.COM.)
