Lucy Movie News - Eurotrip

Lucy Store/Merchandise Updates

The X-Files Season 9 DVDs have been released and they have an extra special incentive for Lucy fans - they contain deleted scenes from the episodes "Nothing Important Happened Today."

This was posted to the TX Message Baord about the deleted scenes:

For those who might be wondering one of the deleted scenes included in the X-Files Season Nine DVD set is how they shot the opening scene from Nothing Important Happened Today orginally. Apparently they had a hard time getting the right mood of the scene (nothing to do with the actors) so they reshot it later and that's what we saw.  The original scene was a little longer and had a more serious tone plus they changed Lucy's hair a bit. There was also commentary included and the two comments I remember was that they thought Lucy was fabulous and they just wanted to get her on the show.
Many thanks to Tobias for the information

Lucy Videos & Images from Havoc Quality Time Interview

Lucy appeared on this interview show and she's in bed with the host throughout the interview. Lucy talks about what brought her back to NZ, the issue of naked and doctored pictures of her on the net which she finds funny and she printed out a few to show around. She said that she didn't have the time or the energy to chase these people up and just found it amusing. They briefly discussed the Vagina Monologues and what Lucy is doing now.

  • Added the Havoc Quality Time Interview with Lucy which has been edited since the interview was spliced in with other segments of the show. The editing has been done by Richard. It's a fairly large file - 27 mb.
  • Added a second TV advert which is slightly longer - 1.7 mb
  • Added Screengrabs from the Havocs Quality Time Interview

The following is from Creation Entertainment

  • Article and Scan from Ultimate DVD Magazine - Issue #53 Spotlight on Hollywood - Interview with Lucy Lawless on the Season Three DVD

  • An update to yesterday's post about the article in Lesbianation - Amy received this note from Gary at Creation (unfortunately it was too late to add to the article so I include here)

    Enjoyed reading the article, it was really well done.  Sorry, though, that they didn't mention Anita Ellis' charity at Hofstra University.  She's worked awfully hard and helped so many students affected by cancer get through college and Xena fans have been the backbone of her support.

    Best,

I was recently asked to co-write an article about all the good the fans do in this fandom and I'm pleased to say the article is now up on the Lesbianation web site. It's called "For The Greater Good" and it's about fans with bigs hearts and deep pockets.

Movie - Double Dare Updates

For those in Boston, US, the 2nd Annual Independent Film Festival of Boston is showing the movie Double Dare. DOUBLE DARE explores the lives of Jeannie and Zöe, the stunt doubles for Wonder Woman and Xena:Warrior Princess, as they face the challenges of a dangerous and male-dominated profession. The real women behind these two world-famous icons are at drastically different crossroads in their lives. One, a grandmother, struggles with the aging process and Hollywoodís dearth of older female roles; the other, a young woman, is brash and unaware of the feminist battles that have paved her way in this notoriously macho field. Featuring Lynda Carter, Lucy Lawless, Steven Speilberg, and Quentin Tarantino.
Screening times are:
Screening #1: 4:30pm - Saturday May 1 Brattle
Screening #2: 7:30pm - Sunday May 2 Somerville
