Couldn't be any worse than Highlander 2.

I think you mean, Highlander the Source. Just keeps getting worse and worse. But Lionsgate hasn't had any hits since the early 90's

Looking forward to this reboot with who's involved

Actually, so am I.

I just saw the first one a month or two ago and I think I just missed the boat on this franchise. So I don't really care if they reboot. I'm pretty indifferent.

The original had a lot of sex, I wonder if they will be true to the franchise as I do not see Henry showing a lot of butt.

Before the current news came out its still going ahead
the last thing i heard about what they're doing with it is, its going to be a prequel to the first movie.

Highlander II: The Quickening is a 1991 science fiction film directed by Russell Mulcahy and starring Christopher Lambert, Virginia Madsen, Michael Ironside and Sean Connery. It is the second installment in the Highlander film series and sequel to the 1986 fantasy film Highlander. Set in the year 2024, the plot concerns Connor MacLeod, who regains his youth and immortal abilities and must free Earth from the Shield, an artificial ozone layer that has fallen under the control of a corrupt corporation.

It just got more ridiculous as more movies came out.
Kazenji
Highlander 2 is a lessen on how not do a sequel.
rudester
It just got so cartoon like that it made no sense whatsoever. I have not read the book, but I am hoping this wasn't it. If you ever watch, Highlander the series based in Montreal; it is far more interesting then all the movies. Adrian Paul is the best Highlander because all he does is chop off immortals heads and come home to have sex. Once they turned it into a scifi thriller it just lost all its appeal

As a HUGE fan of the first film, I'm kinda excited to see what they do here.
If it turns out to be a turd, who cares, won't ruin the original for me. I don't count the sequels, they're all dirty ass cakes,

i enjoyed the first film.. the sequels were shit
i liked the highlander series immensely
im going to assume cavil will speak in his natural british accent instead of some fake scottish one.im also hopeful this will be john wick with samurai swords

Dis better be R-rated with heads rolling left and right.

Doubt it, studios are still wary of making action films R. They want that PG-13 for a broader theater audience.
But with so many things going streaming quickly after or at the same time as the theater release. Who knows.

Since Scottish is just a guttural form of the Northern British accent, I'm fairly confident Cavill can do a proper Scot accent.

Gawd I hope it's a full copy of the original and Henry Cavill shows his muscle ass. Highlander liked to walk around naked

Who knows. and the best thing about Highlander was the nuanced violence, comedy on the common and with the survival nut etc. But what made Highlander special was its heart. Heather, the scene where he shows who he is in in sanctuary etc.

With the history of reboots/remakes almost never being better and rarely on par. Probably not, but we can hope.
Looks at the Robocop remake, on its own, it's an okay sci-fi action flick. But it lacks most of the charm and wit of the original.
