For those of you who remember late-night television in the nineties, and early afternoon television sometimes, you’ll remember Lucy Lawless as Xena the Warrior Princess.

Well, Ms. Lawless isn’t getting any younger, sad to say, and thus she’s looking to take a stab at some big screen Xena action before she can no longer do the flips and ululating war cries.  Dig the word:

“By the time somebody does come up with that I’m just going to be too old,” she said. “And I’m really sad about that. I feel like it’s a completely wasted franchise.”

But take heart, Xena fans–let us bear in mind that original creator Sam Raimi no longer has the Spider Man franchise to worry about.  Plus he’s got mainstream cred all his own and a whole host of properties to develop.

Someone get Verne Troyer on the phone and start up a Jack of All Trades movie, huh?  I live not too far from his hometown and I’d be happy to write the script, guys!
