Lucy Lawless is back - though not in the familiar breastplate and broadsword
of the now decade-old Xena: Warrior Princess.
No, she is back in her more recent TV guise, as government animal expert Dr.
Maddy Rierdon, who last year saved the continental U.S. from being consumed
by voracious mutant insects in theĢ highly rated CBS TV-movie. Locusts.
She has since moved on - she's now a Louisiana college professor, raising
two daughters with her similarly Eco-academic hubby (the also returning
Dylan Neal
Needless to say, another menace soon threatens - mutant vampire bats kill
one of her students, and then chow down on a
cameo-ing Craig Ferguson...Also -threatened by the horde of Vampire Bats are
George W. Bush impersonator Timothy Bottoms and former Grace Under file star
Brett Butler.
But nature's real threat quickly overshadowed Itie fake one, as Hurricane
Katrina chased the production out of New Orleans-the movie was finished in,

Lawless is back in Canada right now, finishing up the second of several
guest appearances on the second season of the Vancouver-shot Battlestar
Galactica, which is scheduled to kick off in Canada on Space sometime in
January.
Vampire Bats airs at 9 p.m. on CBS and CM.
