["Xena Torres" Subject: [chakram-refugees] Darkroom - whoa, NOT 'our' Hurst!!! So I got "The Darkroom" not only to see Lucy Lawless (OMG, OMG, OMG - SOOOOOO CRAZY GOOD!!!), but because I saw it was directed by Michael Hurst. Well, OBVIOUSLY, like most of us, I thought Iolaus, right? Watching the movie, LOVING every second of it, and then I play the audio commentary, and I'm like... wait a second. That's not Michael 'from Hercules' Hurst! So I check IMDB, and, indeed, it's Mike Hurst (as credited in this film) - it's NOT the Xenaverse Hurst! http://imdb.com/name/nm0403629/ How trippy is THAT!? XT's mind is just BLOWN! Either way - this movie ROCKS! SO well written, awesome twists, and the truly amazing thing? The casting? Most of the leads have been almost "against" type cast. Greg, known for 'good guy' roles plays the jerk husband/step father. Shawn - Andrew on Desperate Housewives - goes from the son who REALLY hates his mother to a very caring son. And Lucy? She ain't playing a tough chick - which, I think, is what made this role so amazing to watch. Way to sparkle Lucy! BATTLE ON XENA!

You should publicize the identity of the real Michael Hurst to the places like PowerStar Collectibles that are advertising the DVD as "starring Xena and directed by Iolaus". > Either way - this movie ROCKS!

Funny, that's the exact opposite of the IMDB review. *g* Not that I ever pay any attention to those, anyway.

I certainly thought it was Hercules' Michael Hurst. But it's SOOOOO NOT! :D > Funny, that's the exact opposite of the IMDB review. *g* Not that > I ever pay any attention to those, anyway. Well they are crazy. I thought this movie was AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! And Lucy Lawless is playing a role you would NEVER EVER expect to see her in. This ep was so a "I can do more than Xena" thing. I think it was a really smart career choice to do it. She totally blew my mind with her performance, cause I just never expected to see her in a role like this - and she was...well, FLAWLESS. ;) > I've never heard of this movie -- was it a direct-to-DVD thing? Yes it was a direct to DVD movie. It's got one hell of a great cast though! BATTLE ON XENA!
