Ash Vs Evil Dead Season 2 Episode 1 “Home” Review
Log Line
For more about Lucy as Ruby Knowby in Ash Vs Evil Dead go to AUSXIP Lucy Lawless Ash Vs Evil Dead Subsite
Episode Information: Episode 2.1 “Home”
Lucy Section: When we last left our demon slaying heroes on Ash vs Evil Dead, Ash (Bruce Campbell) made a deal with the head demon Ruby (Lucy Lawless) that put him and his new pals out of harm’s way and safely in his own personal paradise… Jacksonville, Florida. For the Season 2 premiere, “Home,” we open with Ruby battling demons. Lucy Lawless quickly gets introduced to Evil Dead tradition, as one spews boiling black vomit blood onto her… welcome to the club, Lucy! She fights them off long enough to realize that despite the truce, only Ash can truly end this. Unfortunately, that’s going to interfere with Ash’s plans. He is the star of the Jacksonville show, chainsawing through kegs and using his boomstick on beer bottles.

Lucy in Movie Changeover Begins Filming in Christchurch Next Week
Lucy plays the role of Miryam Carlisle, Sorenson's Mother who is a witch
The New Zealand Herald has an article about the upcoming movie: The movie, with a multimillion-dollar budget and set in post-earthquake Christchurch, is described as a coming-of-age thriller directed by long-time actress Miranda Harcourt and husband Stuart McKenzie. "But it's also a love story between Laura [the lead character] and her little brother. It's her love for him that drives the story and then the romance kind of happens by mistake." Filming will take place in a state house moved into the earthquake-ravaged Red Zone especially for the movie, and at the iconic Ballantyne House. Harcourt said she and McKenzie, who wrote the movie's script, drew influences from the romance of fantasy film series Twilight and a thriller aspect from Scandinavian film Let the Right One In. She said the backdrop was post-earthquake Christchurch because the broken city reflected the lead character's struggle to find her identity. You can find out more about the film and Lucy’s role by going to the AUSXIP Lucy Lawless The Changeover Movie Subsite |

Culture Magazine Sept 2016 Interview: Lucy’s Views on Fame, Activism and Pro-Medical Cannabis
TENACIOUS TALENT Actress and activist Lucy Lawless is fierce, fearless and will fight for what is rightCulture Magazine Lucy Lawless thinks before speaking. Only not, apparently, to consider what her publicist or manager might want her to say. For while she’s forever associated with fantasy action roles, the refreshingly opinionated Ash vs Evil Dead actress conveys a defiantly down-to-earth demeanor in her unaffected Down Under brogue. Some highlights:
You were a teen mom. How did rising to that considerable challenge help form the character that has made your so successful since? I didn’t understand it was a challenge. I think my family thought “oh, there go all her dreams of being an actress,” but within days of coming home from the hospital . . . I was full of energy; I was writing skits and things to produce into a show reel [and] went and filmed it. Jobs started to come from there. [MaryD: I found this part quite interesting – she didn’t just sit back and let her dreams go to dust – she wanted something and she went for it.]
You’re a board member of New Zealand’s Starship Foundation, benefitting children’s healthcare, and have been involved with animal rights organizations such as Paw Justice. Do you see it as your responsibility to use your celebrity for good in those ways? Well, I don’t want it to bloody sell lipstick! That just bores the shit out of me, all that stuff . . . [Celebrity is] currency, y’know—use it for something that does some good for the world.
In May, you tweeted a fairly strongly-worded pro-medical cannabis statement. Could you expand upon the sentiments behind this? I just think it’s twisted that we withhold available medications from somebody in pain—it’s disgusting. Why wouldn’t you give it to them? How completely sick. We’re the ones who are sick—we’re sicker than they are.
How have your views on recreational and medical use of cannabis changed over your lifetime? I don’t think I knew that marijuana could be medical when I was growing up. My views of marijuana haven’t really changed . . . I know it does a lot less harm to society than alcohol. I certainly tried it as a kid, I do think we have to be really informed about the facts, but it doesn’t bother me if people smoke pot.
Your work with Greenpeace suggests that you’re very pro-active regarding issues about which you are passionate. Might you become more involved in medical cannabis activism? I doubt it, except to say that I absolutely support—I mean, I really, wholeheartedly support [medical marijuana]. It’s medicine, man—nothing works like it, is what I’m hearing, so it’s very cruel and unusual to deny a palliative medicine from these [seriously ill] people.
