The movie is set to air Sunday and here's the last behind-the-scenes video clip. Lucy, Dylan and the man and woman sitting in front of them are off camera delivering lines to someone who is having their closeup. The older man sitting to Lucy's left is the Secretary of State or Defense, some high political guy. He's supposed to say that he's going to call the president, but forgets his line. So Lucy chimes in, "Are you going to call the president?" The she starts giggling and tries to hide it by falling into Dylan and then the chair. After the director calls cut, both the man and woman, as well as Lucy, start laughing about what happened.
Requires Quicktime




Thought I'd cheer everyone up on Tax Day with another behind-the-scenes clip of Lucy filming LOCUSTS! Here she introduces herself to the guard stationed in the New Orleans bank that was standing in for a government building in D.C. She was having a grand old time there between setups for the next shot.

Notice her falling back into her old ways and trying to take out
Dylan Neal with a Xena back punch! (grin)

A tidbit from
LOCUSTS!
Answers to some questions I've been getting about the photo below.
Lucy is on set studying her lines in a bank in New Orleans that is standing in for a government building in DC.  Those are extras sitting next to her.  She's been outside in the farm country with the locusts which is why the government employees are dressed more in business attire.  Lucy's character, Dr. Maddy Rierdon, is married (to Dan played by Dylan Neal) so Lucy just wore her own ring.

Got a note from Lucy about her upcoming movie LOCUSTS! for CBS.

Message from Lucy:

"I chose it because it was surprisingly well written and looked like a lot of fun. The unexpected pleasure was meeting the producers in person. Not only do I feel they know how to turn out a good show, but they will set up the kind of atmosphere where I, and all the crew can do our best work. Also this is the kind of classic family fare that I grew up on. I remember the appointments my family made with 'Fantastic Voyage' and 'The Birds' and 'Triffids', and I'd love to be part of that."

CBS ANNOUNCES FOUR NEW ORIGINAL TELEVISION MOVIES FOR BROADCAST
AS "THE CBS SUNDAY MOVIE" IN MARCH, APRIL AND MAY including:


From the producers of "Category 6: Day of Destruction" -- CBS's most
watched scripted movie event since May 2000 -- LOCUSTS!, now filming in New Orleans.

LOCUSTS! will air Sunday, April 24 (9:00-11:00 PM, ET/PT), starring Lucy Lawless in a thriller about a deadly
breed of bioengineered locusts that form multiple swarms, covering
thousands of square miles, creating a new and unimaginable threat to the
United States. Frank von Zerneck, Robert M. Sertner and Jill Tanner
("They Shoot Divas, Don't They?") are the executive producers for von
Zerneck/Sertner Films.
