I sincerely doubt Rob would even comtemplate that idea since he cast both Lucy and Renee in the first place (not to mention the domestic hell he would have to live through if he recast Xena). Studio execs are another matter - they have a tendency to take beloved TV series and making rotten movies out of them i.e. Starskey & Hutch, The Dukes of Hazzards, Bewitched - mainly because they don't understand why the series were loved. The problem any Xena movie would have is that it is often discribed by the press as "a cheesy chop socky T & A fantasy show" thus the studio execs will want to make that film. The fact is that the fans of the show which includes the fans who never would go to a convention really understood the series was more about Xena and Gabrielle's friendship than two sexy women beating up bad guys. It is the relationship between the people in a series that makes any series great - Mulder and Scully, Lucy and Ethel, the real Starsky and Hutch, etc. Rob will have to fight very hard to make them understand that people want to see the "real" Xena and Gabrielle and that they are played by Lucy and Renee. Now as a side note I have had some more Xena fan spotting. I am training a new employee and she of course noted my Xena mouse. She was also a fan of the show and the went on to say that Xena was a"hard women but it was nice her friend Gabrielle could make her softer" - you see she got the point about the importance of the relationship. Also today my physical therapist noted my Xena tee- shirt and said she had a college professor (male) who was always using Xena as an example ( I didn't ask what subject he taught - I don't quite know how Xena would fit into a physical therapy course, maybe it was the pinch).
