The script for the failed ‘Xena’ reboot has leaked online

A script for the failed reboot of Xena, Warrior Princess has emerged online.

Xena Movie Campaign, a Facebook fan group, released the script for the show online with the support of the script’s writer, Javier Grillo-Marxuach. In 2015, it was announced that NBC were working on a reboot of the original series, which ran from 1995 to 2001.

The script was for the unreleased pilot episode of the show and you can read it here:

Here we have it, folks: the script for the canceled 2016 Xena Reboot written by Javier Grillo-Marxuach. You can read it…

Posted by Xena Movie Campaign on Wednesday, October 24, 2018

Planned originally for a 2016 release, the script retells an origin story for Xena. The reboot planned to change some of the original character arcs, most notably turning Hercules into a villain. It also reportedly explored a romantic storyline between Xena and her sidekick Gabrielle.

Speaking about the reboot in 2016, Grillo-Marxuach – who also wrote the script for Lost – spoke about the direction he saw the show progressing in. “Xena will be a very different show made for very different reasons,” he said. “There is no reason to bring back Xena if it is not there for the purpose of fully exploring a relationship that could only be shown subtextually in first-run syndication in the 1990s.”

“It will also express my view of the world – which is only further informed by what is happening right now – and is not too difficult to know what that is if you do some digging,” Grillo-Marxuach added.

Last year, NBC president Jennifer Salke said that the plans to reboot Xena with a new lead actress had been scrapped indefinitely.

Salke said: “Nothing is happening on that right now…we looked at some material; we decided at that point that it didn’t warrant the reboot. I’d never say never on that one because it’s such a beloved title, but the current incarnation of it is dead.”

Omens Bite : Sisters of Salem

Twin sisters, Mercy and Hunter are witches, direct descendants of the Goode family, the founders of their town. After the murder of their mother at the hands of a foul demon, they have become the protectors of the Gates to different underworlds--ancient portals between their world and realms where mythology rules and the darkest of creatures exist.

Grief has taken a terrible toll on the twins. Rather than bringing them together, their sadness has torn them apart, driving Mercy to attempt to save the crumbling Gates without her twin and Hunter into the arms of a dangerous goddess. While Mercy looks for aid from Khenti, Guardian of the Egyptian Underworld, Hunter begins to realize the goddess she’s allied with is more monster than deity. She needs her sister’s help, but Mercy is beyond her reach on an adventure that could cost them everything, including their world.

The White Witch, also known as Jadis, is a powerful sorceress who rules over Narnia with an iron fist. She is characterized by her cold and cruel nature, as well as her desire for power and control. The White Witch is known for her ability to turn creatures into stone with her wand and her icy appearance, which is reflected in her name.

Throughout the novel, the White Witch seeks to maintain her control over Narnia by keeping it in an eternal winter. She does not age, and time seems to stand still under her rule. However, when the four siblings arrive in Narnia, they ignite hope and rebellion against the White Witch. Aslan, the Great Lion, serves as the true hero of the story. He represents goodness, justice, and sacrifice. Aslan acts as a Christ-like figure, offering himself as a sacrifice to save Edmund, who had become ensnared by the White Witch and her temptations. Towards the end of the novel, a great battle ensues between the forces of the White Witch and Aslan's followers. Good triumphs over evil, and the White Witch is ultimately defeated. Aslan is resurrected and restores Narnia to its former glory, bringing an end to the winter and allowing spring to finally arrive. The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe explores themes of faith, courage, sacrifice, and redemption. It is a beloved and timeless tale that continues to captivate readers of all ages. The character of the White Witch serves as a stark contrast to the goodness embodied by Aslan, and her defeat highlights the triumph of hope and love over darkness and evil..
