Zev and Xev in DER CLOWN

Saturday, December 19, 2009



Here's a fun little bit of weirdness for Lexx fans. Der Clown is a 2005 action movie featuring both Xenia Seeberg and Eva Habermann. Habermann, as Lexx fans know, played the feisty love slave Zev on the show, while Seeberg played Zev after she died and was re-constituted as Xev by Lykka the man-eating plant. (Yes, Lexx was indeed a very special show.)

While Der Clown looks like a fun and fairly big budget enterprise - at least if this Spanish-language clip is anything to go by - the reviews were not kind at all. Nobody seems to have a good word to say about the film, and the reviewer on IMDB even thought the closing credits sucked. "If you tailor you next films after this model," Marco 23 Polo writes, "DON'T EVER ATTACH THE KIND OF CREDITS WITH FEELGOOD BACKSTAGE FOOTAGE AND BLOPPERS ... it's simply downright embarrassing, period (I had to cover my eyes)."

So, hear that, German action movie producers? No feelgood backstage footage or bloppers.

Oh, well. It's nice to see Eva and Xenia getting work.

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
