Why Lucy Lawless Joined 'The Spine of Night' After Being Asked "Do You Really Want to Be Seen That Way?"

Lucy Lawless has thrived in the sci-fi, fantasy and action genres for years now with a slew of standout titles to her name including Xena: Warrior Princess, Battlestar Galactica and Spartacus.

‘The Spine of Night’ Trailer: An Ultra-Violent Rotoscoped Fantasy Starring Richard E. Grant and Lucy Lawless

Now this is a SXSW film. All the ingredients are in place to make Philip Gelatt and Morgan Galen King’s “The Spine of Night” the next great cult hit to come out of the festival: it’s an ultra-violent (great) rotoscoped fantasy (very cool) featuring the voice work of no less than Richard E. Grant and Lucy Lawless (sold). Premiering at next week’s virtual SXSW Film Festival, “The Spine of Night” looks like the sort of special festival find people would chatter about after a particularly wild midnight screening, but now film fans can watch it in the safety of their own homes. (Safety for its characters, however, is not at all guaranteed.)

The Mandalorian Fans Are Campaigning for Lucy Lawless to Take Over Cara Dune Role

The Season 2 finale of The Mandalorian left open a lot of questions regarding the futures of the series' characters, but with Lucasfilm severing ties with actress Gina Carano for remarks she has been making on social media, some fans are hoping to see Lucy Lawless take over the role of Cara Dune. The nature of The Mandalorian means that supporting characters weave in and out of the titular hero's storyline, as opposed to featuring a consistent ensemble, so it's unclear if there were plans at Lucasfilm to feature the character in a large capacity in the series going forward, as this would mean it's possible to merely write the character out of the show.
