Ted Raimi says that a restart of “Xena” should be inspired by “Cobra Kai”

Having grown up in the 90s, serialized heroines were important on the small screen with Xena: Warrior Princess And Buffy The Vampire Slayer– Heck, even Sabrina the teenage witch. After the darkness of Netflix Sabrina restart and the new Buffy In the work with Sarah Michelle Gellar, returning to supervise a new elected official, everything we need now is to see Xena Roll again.

And this could be about to happen. The team of actors and creative Xena recently participated in an oral history of the program for Entertainment Weekly and had a lot to say with regard to a Xena awakening. Lucy Lawless’s star shared: “I must tell you, I don’t know why they couldn’t do it. What I continue to hear is that you have to do it as well or better than the original, and they continue to have the impression that it is not as good or better or completely different. It may be necessary to be totally different. ”

The Co-Star / Director Bruce Campbell added: “The themes are very relevant for today. Loyalty, friendship, complicated relationships. Xena said it was good to have complicated relationships in a show differently focused on action. ”

Xena The co-creator Rob Tapert explained the real status of the restart: “We are trying to launch a new version of Xena. It would not be the story of Xena and Gabrielle with Lucy and Renee. It would be as if they were doing with Star Treka reimagination of this universe. Anyway, it will be different, which is exciting. Thirty years later, it must be different. »»

Ted Raimi, who was a must of the show as a Joxer, accepted. “You should rethink completely,” he said. And the creative team, which collaborated in the original Bad Films, hopes to do something different. “To do it well, in my opinion, it would be necessary to do it brilliantly like what the Karate do with COBRA KAI. Which is, they are just older and it’s a brand new lot of problems they have. Because there is no way that anyone who wants to see me at my age jump and make these clumsy faces. If you have written it this way, I think it could be done. »»

Tapert added an overview of the current management in which they plan to enter, which is more cinematographic. “But for a feature, now 30 years later, I am interested in doing so,” he revealed. “I do not know when and where he is, but they will see a script somewhere in the next three to six months, and we can only hope.”
