He probably got the role because he played deadpool

No. He got the role cos he'll draw crowds of closeted sausage-jockeys when he takes off his shirt, which he undoubtedly will at least once, if not more.

Is The Kurrgan going to be in it?

If so.

Who play?

They're probably lining up Gerard Butler thinking about it. Or Kane.

Yes he is, I heard a few actors listed but the only one I remember them thinking of using was Vinnie Jones...there were others but I can't remember them

I watched Highlander last night for the first time...meh

I'm just saying it's easy to judge a classic movie by today's standards & think it's meh.

But when you see it for the first time back in '86...this movie stays with you as part of your childhood growing up.

Highlander 1 rules.

The movies got subsequently dumber with every movie. (3 was dumb and whilst arguably better than 2 in most ways sucked hard as a photocopy of the 1st) but the downward curve was clear to see.

They cannot find a band as good as the Freddy fronted Queen to do the soundtrack, sadly. And there will probably be repeats of this:

I say give things a chance, usually, but IMO they should leave this alone.

I won't bash Reynolds in just yet. He's usually bad when he tries to put comic relief into action roles (Blade Trinity, Green Lantern, etc.) but if they could somehow convince him to play Highlander without interjecting any of his romcom qualities... well, maybe it will come out not so bad?

HaHa you poor bastard. 😄

But being born 10 yrs after us is no excuse for hating on good stuff.

Being born 10 years later doesn't make me hate on good stuff...like Star Wars for example, I love it...but highlander isn't a movie I thought was amazing, it was ok but not a classic in my opinion but if other people think so think so then thats fine

Another Highlander? THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE!

Yeah I getcha, I don't think anybody considers Highlander to be a cinematic classic. It's just a guilty pleasure with a great soundtrack, cheeseball characters and a brilliant premise.
The movie doesn't take itself too seriously either. It's a very schizophrenic series like the Howling films.

It's just that alot of younger friends have been telling me lately that they saw it as well and said it sucked. It just makes me scratch my head.

Well its a different generation so old movies just aren't as fulfilling because there is no CGI and no real 3d light show.

Thats what I thought, the acting is bad but it's like it's done on purpose like they were having fun with it and I liked that, I loved Sean in it I thought he was a real highlight 🙂

Tom Cruise as Ramirez...oh sweet Jesus no.
Just walk away Tom....stay the F away.

Actually I'm calling this BS.
Pay Cruise millions to star in a remake...don't think so.

They really need to get a Egyption actor for that role

otherwise it'll be exactly like the original with its stupid logic.
