During the AUSXIP Interview, Lucy was asked about working with Rob:

Any plans to work with Rob [Rob Tapert] again? You have hinted about it in the past? What kind of projects would the two of you like to do together?

Yes, one day.  At the moment our careers are diverging but that's healthy. Our relationship would fall apart if we depended on the other to make our projects happen.

At the recent Talking Xena interview with Rob, he was asked about the movie:

Nabilsally
90. What is up with "Welcome to the pleasure Dome" ? are you still going to do that movie? Thanks

What is up with that is right. I hope to be able to say in January.

The following is from KT's New York convention report

I think she was repeating a question when she said, "Does Art imitate life or is it the other way around?" In answer, she brought up "Pleasure Dome", Rob's new picture about an aging diva. "I'm kind of living that at the moment." Now due to my rushed handwriting, I'm not sure if the next thing she said was "I have to watch myself" or "I have to water myself." It seems it should be "watch" but sometimes Lucy does have some unusual turns of phrases. I think she said next that she seldom has that feeling. "I'm too busy. I gotta pick the kids up from school."

Lawless lands raunchy role in camp caper
26 February 2006
By JENNIFER DANN

Kiwi actress and gay icon Lucy Lawless is preparing to star in a raunchy and "high camp" film set in New York.

Insiders say the script for Welcome to the Pleasure Dome is the hottest seen in New Zealand for some time. Set in a nightclub, the sexy and edgy storyline delves into issues of betrayal.

It is understood money for the project is still being sought.

Lawless's publicist, Mike Liotta of True Public Relations in Los Angeles, said the Xena star's new television commitments would not affect the film project.

Lawless returned to New Zealand last month to promote her World Vision documentary Five Days in Bangladesh.
