“Betrayed by his country. Beaten into slavery. Reborn as a warrior.” That’s the tag-line for the upcoming STARZ series, SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND. At the recent press event for the series, producer ROB TAPERT was on hand to preview scenes and assure us that this series would be unlike anything we’ve seen on television. Influenced greatly by “300,” in the style of popular graphic novels and heavily infused with sex, SPARTACUS promises to be a far cry from the 1960 KIRK DOUGLAS version we grew up with. According to TAPERT, who was also behind TV’s HERCULES and XENA:WARRIOR PRINCESS, this show will have a special flavor all its own. Listen in below:
SPARTACUS: BLOOD AND SAND debuts on STARZ 1/22.

Excuse me Tony but aren’t you overreacting a bit? Lucy isn’t being pimped out nor is Rob forcing her to do it. Xena was very sexual in nature and even though she mostly kicked ass there were some steamy moments in her show. If she had been on starz i’m guessing we’d have seen more. The point is sex isn’t bad. It took me forever to realize this concept having been shielded and having it suppressed within me for so long. Sex in film isn’t bad either when done tastfully. If Lucy engages in a romantic scene then by all means I am happy. If she were to just lay there spread eagle while cheesy 80’s music plays in the bad ground, delivers a poor act in delivering her lines, the moans and groans while five men have their way with her than yea i’ll agree with you. Till then I am still saying GO LUCY I LOVE YOU!

Tony, could you please try to look beyond the sex scenes, realize that it is only a minor part of this series, that it’s just part of the everday life of people in ancient Rome, watch it first before you judge it because from what I’ve seen so far those particular scenes aren’t raunchy at all and stop insulting people?
