Lucy Lawless, who starred in six seasons of "Xena: Warrior Princess", told Sci-Fi Wire that a proposed Xena movie remains caught in a legal haggle.

"I think a movie would be great, and I'd love to do it. I've been wanting to do it for years. Nobody can agree who owns the rights, and it's a big fat pain in the ass." said Lawless in an interview.

Creator and producer Rob Tapert is trying to get the rights from Universal Studios. "Rob wants to make it anyway. He wants to make films. He likes making movies. He's like a shark: You only go forward, and you don't want to bite yourself on the tail with regrets."

For her part, Lawless said that she would like to see the campy costume series become more of a comedy on the big screen.

Thanks to 'Patrick'.
