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.
But will Princes of the Universe still be the theme song?
Thats the low hanging fruit that Hollywood misses all the time. A Christopher Lambert cameo, keep the theme song… its not hard to tick a few small nostalgia boxes when dipping into the Vault.
Clancy Brown was way more impactfull then Lambert.
The amount of Highlander quotes you still hear to this day are mostly those of The kurgan.
Connery and Brown carried that movie. Lambert just went along for the ride.
Remember our agreement, Murdoch. The boy… Is mine.
The way how Clancy just spits out these one liners, in that growling voice. It’s bloody fantastic. Cavill as mcloud is good and all, but it’s all about who they cast for the Kurgan and Ramirez. And that they don’t fuck the story up too much.
Hi. I’m candy. *Of course you are… *
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.
He’s called the Spaniard but he’s even older than that, he’s really Egyptian
Henry Cavill would be a good Connor MacLeod, But he would be an awesome Kurgan.
i’m so glad someone finally managed to come up with a new fantasy story idea instead of yet another remake or reboot
