Xena is my favorite show, and I earnestly believe that we need a hero like Xena now more than ever before.
So… I wrote a Xena movie. It picks up 20ish years after the series ended and feeds directly into a reboot show. I wrote the script around what Lucy, Renee, and Rob have stated they would want in order to come back: less action for Lucy, fun with old castmates, and passing the torch to the next generation. I have a pilot written for a reboot as well that picks up directly where this film ends.
This film respects the canon of the series and puts Xena’s head back on her body, which is what the fans deserve.
But more importantly, I didn’t just write a Xena movie. My film has been selected for the Stunt List.
This means my Xena film will be seen by executives, agents, and producers because it was one of a few scripts chosen this year by working professionals to be hosted.
This also means you can read my movie!
By sharing, viewing, and reading my script via the Stunt List, we can prove that there is a place for a Xena revival in the current market. With Buffy getting revived and the success of Freakier Friday, there is a legitimate chance that if we get this script attention, Xena will return (especially with all of Rob Tapert's comments as of late).
It would be totally rad if my film were made, but this is bigger than me. We need Xena. This new generation needs Xena.
Please check out my script. And if you like it, post about it #XenaMovie.
I’m also happy to chat more if anyone has any questions or if you want to discuss the film in more detail :)
If you’ve read this far, here’s some more information about who I am.
I have an MFA in Dramatic Writing from SCAD.
The show is older than I am.
I have placed in various screenwriting competitions, including PAGE, Final Draft, and Cinequest. My scripts have also received 8s and 9s on the Black List (a site where industry professionals review scripts).
My top 3 episodes: One Against an Army, The Price, Here She Comes… Miss Amphipolis
My first dog was named Xena. My new puppy is named Callisto.
I am currently an English professor.
I have won various awards for filmmaking and directing. I was actually nominated for a Southeast Student Emmy while at SCAD. You can see more of my stuff here.
I attended Xena Con with my sister in 2022.
Gabrielle fights to maintain both her identity and Xena's soul as an old enemy returns, paving the way for Xena's resurrection and 
the fact that qrow calls it an "assignment" is what gets me. this is the point of time that glynda should have already arrived to vacuo with help she went looking for—by the time team rwby + jaune return, the ships from all the kingdoms are there already—so it can't be that, and if it was somehow related to this search for help... why not just say so? "tai's still looking for help" is all it needs.
but no. he has his own assignment that keeps him away from vacuo. he left patch for a mystery mission after beacon's cct tower had been broken into, and once again sometime after the breach had happened. he's got to look after "some things", an explanation why he can't go after ruby even when he wants to, why he didn't leave when yang did.
what could be more important? what requires such secrecy that it's an assignment with no further explanations?
all the maidens are accounted for with the mystery girl in the secret meeting likely being the summer maiden—and if she isn't, she's still in vacuo, not in vale or patch.
all that is left is the mystery of where the crown is, and when beacon, the place their enemy excepts to find the relic at is compromised, tai starts going on missions again; when everyone is in vacuo, tai is still in vale / patch.
he is the dragon guarding the treasure. there's no other reason to point his absence if it wasn't an important plot point.
