What's New on AUSXIP
AUGUST 2005
31 August Got this note from the Media Relations Coordinator at CBS...
The New Orleans production of the CBS television movie "Vampire Bats" was interrupted earlier this week when Hurricane Katrina swept into the town. The crew and cast, including star Lucy Lawless, began evacuating on
Sunday to places including Houston, Dallas, and, in Lawless' case, Baton Rouge, and were safely out of harms way when the Hurricane struck. The producers of the movie hope to resume production soon.

Help Noah's Wish.... With this latest tragedy we have seen
many people lose their homes and some have lost their lives. We also need to remember the animals that are sufferring. I read a news report that made me heart sick yesterday. I won't repeat it because it's just too
tragic. Carol Stephens sent me a note that I think is worth passing on - there is an organisation called Noah's Wish and they help animals in disaster areas. They are sending a team to the devestated areas to help care
for the animals. Who are they? The following is from their web site: Noah's Wish is a not-for-profit, animal welfare organization, with a straightforward mission. We exist to keep animals alive during
disasters. That's it.
We are not involved in any other animal welfare issues. It's not that we are not concerned about all the ways animals are abused and exploited. Noah's Wish would like nothing more than to see all suffering stop.
Fortunately, there are a multitude of national and local animal welfare organizations who are tackling the issues that adversely affect animals. No other organization has made the commitment though to just focus on
disaster relief work for animals. That's the void we are filling.
Read more on their web site The Red Cross and all the other US organisations that are geared for this sort of support is looking after the people
and Noah's Wish is looking after the animals - please help them in their quest. To donate go to: http://www.noahswish.org/Donations.htm

Hollywood Reporter 30 August 2005 - Frank von Zerneck, who is producing "Vampire," said it would be at least a
week before his production could resume what would have been its last week of shooting. "Everyone is safe," von Zerneck said, "but now I'm dealing with things like, are the trucks flooded? Where is the equipment?
Everything was boxed up and stored, but now the city is pretty much closed down."

The images of Lucy are from an interview Lucy did
with ET about Vampire Bats. Lucy spoke to ET via phone from Baton Rouge
Lucy told ET "I turned on the television and saw Category 5," Lawless tells ET.
The actress was one of the mass swarm of people who have fled the devastating storm. She had been shooting the CBS movie "Vampire Bats" in the Big Easy when the frantic call to evacuate the city came.
"The traffic was going one-mile-per hour sometimes," Lawless says of trying to leave the city. "Then it was two-miles-per hour, then five. It took nine hours for what should have taken 50-55 minutes."
Lucy had no electrical power and was only able to communicate via telephone. With her family back home and out of harms way, she left the city with three production members and is staying in Baton Rouge, LA. But the
popular star is concerned for the people who weren't as lucky as her.
"I just realized all those people in incredibly low-lying areas are in such threat," she says. "I just worry about them."
Just last week Lucy told ET how fond of the city she was. "I love this town, I love the heat" the New Zealander said. "I was afraid of coming, working in sweltering heat and swamps, but it's just been pure joy. I would
move here if I could work here all of the time."
Lucy on ET tonight, Aug. 29 to thank the fans that made offers of shelter and a charter plane.
Lucy is in Baton Rouge (according to ET) and is safe. You can see a video clip of her brief chat with ET on ET Online Many thanks to LB for the ET

Still lots of wind and rain but a safe place to be and they hope to go back to finish the movie.

Official Xena Fan Club This message was posted earlier from Sharon about Lucy's progress: Talked to Lucy yesterday afternoon and she wanted everyone to know all the cast and crew of the
movie are safely out of New Orleans. They're staying with friends of the production company. It was a long, slow ride out of town, but they made it. Their thoughts are with those still in the city and the surrounding
area and everyone is praying that the storm weakens. She's grateful for the offers of help that were received as they were readying the troupe to move out. Articles The

Stars flee Big Easy film sets
Aug. 29, 2005 at 3:08PM
Hurricane Katrina has shut down production on at least two Hollywood projects filming in the New Orleans area. Former "Xena: Warrior Princess" Lucy Lawless was in the Big Easy shooting "Vampire Bats" for CBS
when the evacuation call came in, "Entertainment Tonight" reported Monday. "The traffic was going 1 mile per hour sometimes," she told "ET" about her ride out of town. Two-time Oscar winner Hilary Swank was also
evacuated from her Louisiana set. She was shooting the supernatural thriller "The Reaping" in St. Francisville, "ET" said.
28 August  To those
in the path of Hurricane Katrina (and who won't be reading this but getting the heck of town) - Get out of town and out of the path of Katrina!
Lucy has been filming Vampire Bats in New Orleans - let's
hope she makes it out of town quickly. The following is from Bloomberg News New Orleans Evacuates as Hurricane Katrina Approaches (Update3)
Aug. 28 (Bloomberg) -- New Orleans residents were ordered to evacuate the city today as Hurricane Katrina, one of the most powerful and potentially deadly storms ever to threaten the U.S. Gulf Coast, approached land
with its 175 mph winds.
Mayor Ray Nagin said only essential personnel and people unable to travel may remain in the city. Thousands already have fled southern Louisiana as the storm, which hit Florida two days ago, gained strength in the
Gulf. Forecasters said the storm's eye will come ashore about 7 a.m. local time tomorrow.
Katrina was upgraded to Category 5, the most severe on the Saffir-Simpson scale of hurricane strength, this morning. Only three Category 5 storms have hit the U.S., and a direct hit would devastate New Orleans, much
of which lies below sea level just 100 miles upriver from the Gulf.

27 August Xena Vote: Update: I just got an email from Flatrich at eXoNews - the organisers of the vote:
Just checking in from eXoNews TV_Vote with a little correction regarding your comment on Xena votes for Best TV Show of All Time. We've seen this mentioned on several fan sites, but the important thing about voting
is not the exact title. We at eXoNews can figure that out, especially as there is only one Xena (so any resonable version of the show title is OK.) What voters should remember is we only count one vote per hour
for the same show from the same visitor. We get voters for all shows who hammer away with ten or more votes a minute, and some Xena fans are doing that daily. eXoNews only counts the first of such votes.
Pass this along if you like and keep those votes coming in. From the looks of it, Angel is dust! Just a reminder: If you are voting for Xena as the top show, you have to be accurate in how the show is written in the voting box. DO NOT vote as Xena: Warrior
Princess or XWP or Xena. The correct way to vote is by writing Xena: The Warrior Princess.
You can't misspell Angel but you can with the warrior princess...The place to vote is:
http://richlabonte.net/tvvote/ Everyone in the path of Katrina - keep safe and dry. I see on the news the rain and the flooding is make a mess of the place again. I'm sure
silly reporters will be out in the weather trying to outscoop their rivals in seeing how wet it is. Fearless Cindy in Seattle You all remember how I teased Cindy about being a chicken going up the

A week ago there was some discussion about Lucy's character name being either Friel (Barbara Davies mentioned that Anna Friel was a British actress) or Biers. Well it
seems someone at SciFi Wire got it wrong. According to the preview for Final Cut Lucy definitely says her name is "D'anna Biers" in the signoff instead of D'anna Friel. Maybe the person at SciFi couldn't understand the
Kiwi accent
Well that answers that question :)
Lost In Dino World Movie Update The following is from the Unrealized Reality Blog on a Q & A with Bruce Campbell
- Me: Anyway, Lucy Lawless was recently interviewed and said that she
desperately wanted to work with you, Renee, and Ted again in a non-Xena capacity and that there was actually a project that you had all been
approached with but were having scheduling problems. Any comments?
Bruce: Yes. It's my turn for the breast plates. *crowd laughs* Actually,
the project *will* happen if we can coincide our scheduling and that's
really all I can say.
The following is from the Official Xena Fan Club Page - Interview with Renee for Kit #10

Kit 10 right there on the sidewalk. Then we went over to Graumann's Chinese Theatre and Renee was putting her hand -- and foot! -- into all the famous prints in the sidewalk.
New Book Announcement from KG MacGregor
I have some very exciting news to share. My next novel, Just This Once, will be published in May 2006 by BELLA BOOKS. I'm absolutely thrilled to have Bella as my new publisher, and I look forward to a long and
productive partnership.
Over the next couple of years, Bella also plans to publish new editions of my first four books, Shaken, Malicious Pursuit, The House on Sandstone, and the just-released Mulligan. That means the current editions are
GOING OUT OF PRINT!!! If you hurry, you can snatch up one of the last few copies at Starcrossed (www.scp-inc.biz), and you might even save a few bucks. I'm holding back a few copies
of each title for Orlando Bardcon in October, but once those are gone, that's all she wrote--for now, anyway. <g> If you're coming to Orlando and you'd like me to reserve something for you, please drop me a note.
Best to all,

of Xena: Warrior Princess just hit the shelves, packed full of fan favorite episodes and a variety of extra goodies. Even with all of the crazed popularity of the series still going strong, Xena can't seem to get

San Francisco Examiner - 25 August 2005 Where's Xena: The Movie?
Lucy Lawless, star of the cult favorite "Xena: Warrior Princess," says she's wanted to bring her character to the big screen for years. "I think a movie would be great, and I'd love to do it," the actress told
SciFiwire.com. The logistics of such a project are getting in the way of making Lawless' dream a reality — she says executives from the show disagree on who owns the rights, and until those questions get answered,
Xena will have to continue life in rerun Siberia.

Speaking of a Xena Movie...the following is from bookdaft..
Folks,
I received a great response to the free Xena comics announcement, thanks in part to MaryD's generosity in posting it on her site. Prior to today, I have enough comics to fulfill each request with at least one comic book. Steve will acquiring more comics, I'm sure, so I may have more stock on hand.
I have good news and bad news: The bad news is that I caught some sort of bug, which has hampered my enthusiasm and ability to work on this project. The good news is that I am not on call this week and can begin anytime. I will be sending out instructions based on when I received them; i.e., FIFO (First In First Out). If you sent a request to me a day or two ago, it will be later that you will hear from me.
I have an new announcement to make. When I saw Steve and picked up my pull, he had some Xena Trading Card game decks to give away. I have about 12 base decks and a number of add on packs. All are unsealed, so they may or may not be intact. These are free as well and, as before, I only ask that you contact Universal, requesting a movie. The URLs for Universal are below:

or

 Dangerous Prey Script Autographed by Renee O'Connor!
This script was auctioned on ebay to raise money for the The Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation - This was an Authentic Production Script from the Television Show Xena: Warrior Princess!
Besides being
an Authentic Shooting Draft, it's also been Autographed by Renee O'Connor (Gabrielle) and Tsianina Joelson (Varia)! Besides signing it, Renee wrote "Amazon Queen & Director". Not only did she star in the
episode, but she also directed it!
Ellen has sent in this note about the script and how much money was raised:
Renee was ecstatic at receiving the check from the charity auction for the signed Dangerous Prey script. The winner of the auction sent me a check that I gave to Renee personally at the Car
Wash event on 7/30 in LA and Renee was really blown away. She asked me to show it to the guy there that was in charge of the Alisa Ann Ruch Burn Foundation and he practically screamed!
Renee was so thankful. Many thanks to the winning bidder, and also to all of the other bidders in the auction who helped bid the price up to $660.00!
You guys are the best!
Xena Movie Update
Free Xena Comics - Write to Universal for Xena Movie! ![]() The following is from bookdaft:
In 2000, just before the final season of Xena began, Dark Horse Comics announced they would be discontinuing the run of Xena: Warrior Princess. It would end after 14 comic books and several specials in their DHP
series. Dark Horse had not wanted to drop the book. But because the license fees were so high and the sales were not up to the expected volumes, the company had no choice but to end the book.
A few months prior to the demise of the DH version of the comic book (Topps had done it before them), my comic store guy and I conceived the idea to try to promote the book by giving it away. Consequently he
purchased an initial batch of the Xena comic books and was able to obtain several more orders without expending more money beyond the first order. I publicized our endeavor and he mailed the comics out.
I thought we were very successful. Although it didn't save the comic book, (the hard, economic facts are that they didn't - probably couldn't - increase the circulation), but it did make Dark Horse sit up and take
notice. I think we had a pretty good response: I received upwards of 90 plus e-mail requests and I'm sure Steve mailed out at least that number of books. In some cases he may have sent more than one book.
We had such a good time that we have decided to start it up again. The purpose of this hare-brained scheme - um - promotion, is to rattle Universal's cage and let them know we would like a Xena movie, since
everything seems to be moving like slow glass. It will also permit those fans who want the comic book, or are only interested in looking at the quality of the comic, of obtaining it without purchase.
So here's the deal: Contact me privately at the e-mail bookdaft[at]voyager.net and I will send you instructions for receiving your book. I cannot honor requests for a complete set, because we do not have a complete
set. The idea is to provide as many people with some of these comics as possible. Steve will work on obtaining more, but the pool is somewhat limited.
In return for these freebies, Steve and I only ask that you contact Universal and let them know you want a Xena movie. Read on to how you can do this:

make an effort to really make conventions special." O'Connor even wore a wedding outfit from the series while posing for photos with Xenaphiles. -

1995 Magazines 2000 Magazines Xena DVD Update More info about the Panzer 10th Anniversary
DVD problem... It seems quite a few people are having problems - here are some of the issues: Note: For anyone ordering from Davis-Panzer, those guys have been having glitches in their on-line ordering for at least a year. I had major problems when I ordered Xena's season 5&6. I had to
call those guys every week for about 2 months to get them to fix it. Best to order from Amazon.com. No problems with those guys Many thanks to Kathy for the info
Julie has some advice about how to deal with Panzer:
If you are overcharged, make certain you write down the name of the person you spoke to, the time and include this in any emails you send to the company.

Xena DVD Alert The following comes from Kathleen for those who ordered the 10th Anniversary DVD set from
Davis Panzer Anderson I got my credit card invoice today and noticed Davis-Panzer-Anderson (the Legendary Journey's Xena Store) had overcharged me $30 for my 10th Anniversary XWP Collection order. My
online receipt said $39.99 and instead they charged me $69.99 for the DVD set. I called them up and the sales gal said there was a "glitch" in the online ordering and many people had been overcharged for the DVD set
and they were 'trying' to fix the problem. Frankly I believe if I hadn't said anything and
hadn't asked for a $30 credit I'd be out of my money. For those that ordered through Davis-Panzer Anderson, check your credit/debit card invoice!!!
Many thanks to Kathleen for the alert
