Xena DVD News

IGN has a review of the Region 1 Season 5 DVD - can't say I disagree with the reviewer
about Season 5.

Xena: Warrior Princess - Season Five
Ending with a scream or a whimper?
- Xena: Warrior Princess pounded through its fifth season like a fullback aiming for the end-zone against an stacked line - determined to make it through, preferably as brutally and painfully as possible. Was there something you liked about the characters besides the fight scenes? Hope you didn't get too attached to those traits, because most of them were gone in this cycle.
Gabrielle (Renee O'Connor) has no more innocence or naivete. Xena drags around with a swollen belly, thanks to star Lucy Lawless' real-life pregnancy. Lovable, goofy Joxer (Ted Raimi) turns into a mean-spirited SOB in at least one episode. Even the baddest of Xena's foes turns into smiling angel.

David Franklin (Brutus) News

The following is from Katherine Fugate (and many thanks to Katherine for passing this on) - Get well David!

hey everyone. just wanted to ask you all to put david franklin (brutus on xena, braca on farscape) in your thoughts and prayers. david had a collapsed lung and underwent surgery here in los angeles. he's been in the hospital for a week now.  i'll update you when i know how he's doing -- but it looks better now and it seems this sort of thing can surprise us at anytime. david was a heavy smoker and had just quit, fighting very hard to stop with patches and gum. it seems smoking can be a culprit so if anyone is thinking of quitting, now might be the time.

sending love,
katherine

Tickets are now on sale for this year's Starship Charity Ball on Saturday 16 October 2004 at the new SKYCITY Auckland Convention Centre. The theme of this year's ball is "Kiwiana - Celebrating our Kiwi Culture" which will be reflected throughout the evening. Pre-dinner drinks will start with Cloudy Bay Pelorus, followed by a menu of gourmet twists on kiwi classics accompanied by fine Kemblefield wines. Our MC Lucy Lawless heads a line up of top kiwi entertainers including Peter Urlich, Debbie Harwood and Hinewehi Mohi; followed by dancing until late to The Lounge Associates.

There will be an auction featuring outstanding items such as trips for two to Wimbledon 2005 and the Pebble Beach National Pro-Am, as well as fashion and cosmetic packages, jewellery, luxury travel and something for the thrill seekers! There will also be a fabulous silent auction.

The ball is one of our highest profile events of the year and funds raised will help expand the NZ TelePaediatric Service, a video-conferencing network which links medical professionals around New Zealand so they can pool their experience and best treat young patients - no matter where they live.

    "Double Dare," from Amanda Micheli, is an entertaining look at stuntwomen in Hollywood, focusing on Jeannie Epper, a now-sixtysomething pioneer who still does stunts, and young Zoe Bell, formerly Lucy Lawless' double on "Xena: Warrior Princess," now trying to find her way in a business that's as dangerous as it is unforgiving.

Less Than Perfect Updates

The following is from Georgia who went to the taping of Less Than Perfect

My daughter and I were at the taping last night of Lucy in the LESS THAN PERFECT show. Lucy was wonderful as usual and kind and caring to all. I had a chance to speak to her and even got an autograph. Lucy is so sweet and always kind to her dear fans. We also got to meet some of the fans and sit next to them. Of course they are as awesome as Lucy. Thanks to all and Lucy was funny and did an awesome job that she always does.

Sam Raimi & Rob Tapert/Ghost House Pictures Update
From SciFiWire - 14 September 2004

Raimi Puts Up Scarecrow

Sam Raimi, director of the Spider-Man and Evil Dead films, and partner Rob Tapert are set to produce the horror film Scarecrow, directed by brothers Oxide and Danny Pang (The Eye, Bangkok Dangerous), according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The film will be the first English-language feature for the brothers from Hong Kong.

Scarecrow follows the lives of a family moving into a run-down sunflower farm who begin to notice uncomfortable and alarming changes in their father's behavior. The screenplay was written by Stuart Beattie (Collateral), from an original script by Todd Farmer. "I'm thrilled that the Pang brothers have agreed to direct Scarecrow," Raimi said. "I've been a big fan ever since The Eye. Danny and Oxide have an exciting and unique vision and are at the forefront of the neo-horror movement in Asian filmmaking." Production is scheduled to begin this spring.
