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.

Highlander was good when they didn’t elaborate on it. Everytime they tried building a deeper “lore” it went to trash. I don’t know if modern movies can resist that urge.

It was a great idea executed poorly when it was done originally, the reboot could be a good idea if they keep the right parts and drop the shit that didnt work.

Past tense. If they actually explored the idea more with good writing, it could be amazing!

Can we just keep rebooting everything until we’ve completely eaten our own arses?

Would fuckin love a new IP tbh

There’s tons of new IP. It’s just lots of people like sequels and reboots, so you’re going to get a bunch of them as well.

Totally agree with your sentiment, but how about referring to it as “creative work” instead of “intellectual property”? I think the art and creativity is the missing piece, as studios don’t want to take even a minuscule risk.

Yeah that’s actually a great point, and I like the focus on artwork and creativity!

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.
