Buzz-Eye posted a recent interview with former Gene Roddenberry's Andromeda star Kevin Sorbo and here is an excerpt.
BE: I'm sure you're asked this in every interview, but do you ever think about revisiting "Hercules" or "Andromeda"? I understand most actors preferring to look forward rather than back, but...
KS: Well, you know what? To be quite honest with you, I was actually shocked they never came forward to do a "Hercules & "Xena" feature film, considering how popular "Hercules" was, and it had a spin-off like "Xena," which was equally popular. Hell, in 1996, we passed "Baywatch" as the most watched show in the world in 174 countries, so a feature film is sort of a no-brainer! I've given up on it now, but I thought certainly within the first...you know, we finished shooting in December of '99, and I figured that, in 2001 or 2002, they'd come to me and say, "C'mon, let's do a feature now, it's time to do one." And they never did! Would they do it? I don't know. Would I do it? Sure, I'd do it. I can get myself...I know I'm still young enough to get myself back in shape. I'm still in good shape now, but I'm about 20 pounds lighter, and I can't lift as heavy anymore! But, yeah...and "Andromeda" as well. We should've had a seven-year run out of that show, but, y'know, problems within the studio, and they fired everybody that I used to work with, and they've still got lawsuits flying left and right. I don't know the whole story; all I know is that it's on the sales block, and that it's a studio that's dying, I believe. That's the only reason we didn't do the seven-year run. But, y'know, we'll see what happens. I'd love to do either one of them. I'd have a blast doing it!
