This is one of those movies I’m not holding my breath for. They’ve talked about rebooting/remaking it for so long. On the bright side, I hope this motivates Brian May to finally finish the Highlander soundtrack he was working on in the 2000s.
Also I hope they keep the Queen songs by Queen.
Not interested unless they include rotoscope effects.
I thought Highlander already long since jumped the shark and died off after the sequel movie based on the sequel TV Show, but the Henry Cavill curse will doom this too, lol.
I don’t mind because I hate Christopher Lambert with a passion. He is one of the worst actors I have ever had the misfortune of seeing. The guy butchered every role he had. The original Highlander is probably the only movie that is somewhat, kind of, watchable. But man, I hate this guy. He sucked ass as Raiden in MK, as Beowulf, as Highlander, as whatever else he even thought of acting.
I know we’re all tired of reboots but I think this one could be something good. I’m a fan of reboots of things that turned out kinda bad, or weren’t that bad but didn’t really live up to their interesting premise. With better effects and sword fight choreography, this could be a good movie. I just hope they don’t over explain things in the writing like a lot of movies are doing nowadays.
Or not having a Shcottisch Schpaniard?
He’s called the Spaniard but he’s even older than that, he’s really Egyptian
Scho, Egshipshins schpoke schottisch?
This sentence runs-on harder than Conner MacLeod despite being comma-spliced deeper than Arman Fazeel in a parking garage.
i’m so glad someone finally managed to come up with a new fantasy story idea instead of yet another remake or reboot
Henry Cavill would be a good Connor MacLeod, But he would be an awesome Kurgan.
I’m conflicted as I love the original but there’s things that could be improved (a Scottish Spaniard? A French Scotsman?) and Highlander 2 torpedoed the franchise, it only really recovered to some extent with the TV series. So if they have new stories to tell, I’ll give it a go.
Henry Cavill feels like a caricature of a nerd. Happy for him!
I’m waiting for a remake of ‘The Dirty Dozen’ where one actor named Chris plays all the roles.
Good casting tbh
