| Updated Locusts! Ratings |
- A correction to yesterday's post about the ratings for Locusts. They are the "fast nationals", or overnight ratings. They are preliminary because they only take into account the big city markets. The more
accurate figures for Locusts are as follows:
"The surprise of the night was the CBS original movie Locusts starring Lucy Lawless, Xena herself, ringing up 12.7 million viewers.

| Online News Article - Never Surrender to Mutant Locusts 6 April 2005
|
- 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.

| Locusts! update |
- The following is from futoncritic.com and has a bit more info about the movie.
Dr. Maddy Rierdon (Lawless), a USDA voracious insect expert, is hoping
to work on her struggling marriage when a locust outbreak erupts on both
coasts of the United States. After she is called upon to assess the
situation, Maddy discovers that the locust swarms are a product of a
colleague's experiment, and are in fact bioengineered super locusts that
can reproduce at a rate 10 times greater than a typical one. They are
also three times longer than an ordinary locust, can travel
approximately 300 miles a day and could be capable of devouring an
entire continent.
The entire population is in a panic as the swarms multiply and attack
areas from coast-to-coast. As food supply, livestock and even human
lives are threatened by these seemingly unstoppable creatures, the
president orders the formation of a special task force to work with
Maddy and her team. She addresses the task force, but at this point no
one can come up with an answer to eradicate these insects without taking
human lives in the process. As the country faces a modern-day plague
unlike anything they have ever seen, the government is in a race against
the clock to put an end to this devastating situation.

| CBS Unleashes Plague of 'Locusts' in April - Zap2It

- Zap2It - Friday, March 25 08:19 AM
LOS ANGELES (Zap2it.com) Given that CBS' Sunday (March 20) exploitation movie "Spring Break Shark Attack" managed to scare up some 11.59 million viewers, it seems like the network may continue with more offerings
that seem better suited to the Sci Fi Channel. In that vein, get ready for a little telefilm CBS likes to call "Locusts," premiering on Sunday, April 24.
The incomparable Lucy Lawless ("Xena: Warrior Princess") stars as Dr. Maddy Rierdon a -- get this -- USDA voracious insect expert. Dr. Rierdon's having serious problems with her marriage, but there are more important
things bugging her, things like a deadly breed of bioengineered locusts that are capable of covering thousands of miles and destroying everything in the path.

| Locusts! Questions / Answers about Lucy pic on the set
|
- Answers to some questions I've been getting about the photo.
Lucy is on set studying her lines in a bank in New Orleans that is standing in for a government building in DC. Those are extras sitting next to her. She's been outside in the farm country with the locusts which is
why the government employees are dressed more in business attire. Lucy's character, Maddy, is married so Lucy just wore her own ring.

- 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. Many thanks to Barbara Davies for the news
2 February 2005 Lucy's Locusts! Update - A note from Lucy about Locusts! (via Sharon Delaney)
Message from Lucy:
"I chose it because it was surprisingly well written and looked like a lot of fun. The unexpected pleasure was meeting the producers in person. Not only do I feel they know how to turn out a good show, but they will
set up the kind of atmosphere where I, and all the crew can do our best work. Also this is the kind of classic family fare that I grew up on. I remember the appointments my family made with 'Fantastic Voyage' and 'The
Birds' and 'Triffids', and I'd love to be part of that." More....
