  Slated for an April 24 air date (that's a Sunday, so don't make plans!), "Locusts" will star Lucy Lawless as a locust expert who must find a way to stop a plague of genetically engineered locusts. Lawless will no
  doubt use what she learned while portraying Xena, Warrior Princess and run around swinging her sword at the large locusts while wearing a gold breastplate. Or she might play a doctor who uses her thinkin' powers to
  stop the mutant locusts. Either way it will be masterfully gripping, chilling and riveting. Click here to read entire article
   
• ET Online Article about Lucy and Locusts! - Xena's Back
   
• The following is from TV Now - Celebrity News - 1 February 2005
   Celebrity News Date: Tuesday, February 1 Lucy Lawless: If the "Xena" star expects to survive her next film shoot, she'll need a gigantic can of Raid insect repellant. Later this month, she'll head down to New Orleans to begin filming Locusts!, a new CBS movie about a deadly breed of bio engineered locusts that form multiple swarms and cause hell on Earth earlier than predicted in the Bible. The thriller's executive producer Robert M. Sertner is a big believer in special effects that put his actors in the middle of the action. When I interviewed him about his last CBS disaster flick, Category 6: Day of Destruction, he told me that a bank of wind machines couldn't create the force he needed to show the power of hurricane winds, so he had a jet engine delivered to the set so they could blow actors and props all over the lot. Come to think of it, Lawless will need more than Raid to survive this Sertner project. Locusts! will debut on CBS Sunday, April 24 at 9pm.
