   Why is William Shatner making a documentary about ... Xena?   
       
   Tweet    
   Star Trek's William Shatner is slowly changing from a starship captain   
   into the captain of documentaries. He brought us The Captains (about all   
   six Star Trek, er, captains), and then Get a Life (about the Trek fans).   
   After setting his lofty sights on Trek, the Shat is now planning to do a   
   documentary about a certain warrior princess.   
   In an interview with Mania  , the once and future captain of the   
   U.S.S. Enterprise, James Tiberius Kirkâ€"William Shatner   
   himselfâ€"has revealed that he's now looking to make a documentary   
   about our favorite kick-ass warrior princess ever, Xena (Lucy Lawless),   
   and about the fans who attend these conventions.   
   (For our younger readers here, Xena: Warrior Princess was a spinoff of   
   Hercules: The Legendary Journeys and ran on TV between 1995 and 2001.   
   During its six years on the air it gathered a very strong following,   
   principally among female viewers.)   
   But why is he? This is what The Shat said:   
   I am a news-oholic. I love watching the news. I love watching the   
   stories. I love the human history that is exposed on CNN, CSPAN, and all   
   that type of thing. I love the humanity behind what is going on and the   
   discovery of it. I love the concept of making documentaries, but what   
   would I make a documentary of that people were going to buy? So, faced   
   with that, in the market place and the curiosity, I was able to combine   
   the first half and make a documentary about Star Trek. Now, they see I   
   can make a film. My ideas are being met with more approvals. I've got a   
   couple of docs in the pipeline. For example, I went to a Xena   
   Convention. Who goes to a Xena Convention? People in need. People who   
   are so in need that they cling to each other because of the mutuality of   
   what they are. It is a love fest. It is an embracing of like-minded   
   people. That's what I discovered. I am editing it right now and it is a   
   fascinating documentary.   
   Right. Please excuse us now while we go dust off our chakram for, you   
   know, the next Xena convention.   
   So are you guys excited about Bill Shatner doing a documentary about   
   Xena and her fans?
