The "Xena movie" is the term used to describe a planned theatrical motion picture, sequel to the television series Xena: Warrior Princess, that never reached pre-production. It would have starred Lucy Lawless and Renee O'Connor. "When Fates Collide" writer Katherine Fugate was approached and offered to write the screenplay.[1] In order to retain financing, Tapert signed Lucy Lawless reprise her role of Xena.[6] In March 2005, the Windy City News reported that Fugate had finished the script for the Xena film.[9]
