Bitch Slap

[yendi]

Here's the trailer for Bitchslap, a movie that looks like something that Rodriguez and Tarantino could have included with Grindhouse. It's likely going to be awful, although there's potential for a sleeper hit.

But what makes it noteworthy, for me at least, is that is has all four leads from Hercules and Xena: Lucy Lawless, Renee O'Connor, Kevin Sorbo, and Michael Hurst. No Bruce Campbell, Ted Raimi, Hudson Leick, or Alexandra Tydings, alas (and Kevin Smith, of course, wasn't available), but it's still a surprising reunion (and the first movie since the shows ended to feature all four actors, as far as I can tell).

Not surprisingly, director and co-writer Rick Jacobson worked on both shows.

Are you sure Frank Miller didn't write this?

My. Looks interesting in a train-wreck way. Did you watch the related trailer that they link to, which has "behind-the-scenes" interviews with Lucy&Renee as nuns? Lucy carries that interview, even more so than was usual in Xena.

"Lucy carries that interview, even more so than was usual in Xena."

What do you mean by that?

(Don't mind my nosiness).

Oh, er. My apologies if you're a fan of Renee O'Connor, even moreso if you are Renee O'Connor ;-) Watching Xena, I thought that Renee was not as strong an actress as Lucy was. She seemed a little not-quite-at-home in the role, at least sometimes. And in the nuns interview, Lucy seemed to me to do more of the improvising and to do it more naturally. That's all. Again, just my $0.02 -- in fact I might have gotten a unfair impression of Renee from the sample of episodes I watched.

LOL no! I LOOOOOOVE Lucy. I'm just really slow when it comes to reading sentence structure some times :P

And that's Lucy in my icon, if you didn't notice =P

Where's the Jessica Alba cameo? Maybe uncredited?

Seriously I wouldn't be surprised.

Based on the cast this sounds like a total pet project of fun.
