Cavill is such a goddamn nerd.
I didn’t know I wanted this until this moments.
These reboots of movies that doesn’t require reboots achieves only two things for me… it reminds me to go and watch the origial movie again, while guaranteeing that I won’t bother watching the reboot.
Remake movies that had good ideas and poor execution, or visa versa. Don’t bother remaking movies that are already good.
Actually don’t bother regardless. Fuckin Hollywood can’t get much right these days.

I just watched Highlander a few weeks ago and I think this one qualifies as good idea, poor execution. The one scottish person on the cast played a spaniard, and it’s not just some scottish dude. Why didn’t they make the main character a frenchman?! He doesnt even use a scottish sword!

Wash yer mouth out! It’s definitely a case of terrible idea, great execution - in fact, it’s such a terrible idea that there was literally nothing with which to build a sequel out of. Every other Highlander movie and the tv show was little more than an awkward retcon milking exercise and little more.

A French main character? In a USian movie? I guess you forgot about that whole anti-French “Freedom Fries” charade.
You know, I wish they’d just stop their derivative “remaking” and “franchising” and actually just start being inspired by the movies of old again.
I’ve been asking for this for decades. I really want a hyper violent modern highlander TV show.
OK, but what will be the soundtrack?
Cause there’s absolutely no way it can compete with the original.Who wants to live forever?
YESSSSS! I’ve been saying for years that it’s time for a Highlander reboot. The original series is hard to watch now because TV writing, special effects, and stunt choreography is so much better now! A Highlander series would be amaaaaazing today! SO PUMPED!
Also, Henry Cavill is SUCH A GOOD CHOICE! He’s a huge nerd that takes his roles very seriously and loves to keep the show lore accurate and deep!
Oooh! Which Scotsman will they get to play a Spaniard?
“What is haggis?” he said, Scottishly.
The greatest casting ever made can never be replicated.
Worse: Mickey Rooney as a Japanese man in Breakfast at Tiffany’s
As bad: John Wayne as Genghis Khan in The Conqueror
Oh those are definitely worse.
But Connery, playing an Egyptian pretending to be a Spaniard while also being the only one with a recognizeable Scottish accent amidst a an entire cast of non-Scottish people playing Scots? That was something special.
Oh I agree. Fun movie and character though.
No worse than a Russian submarine captain with a Scottish accent though. 🤣
*Egyptian posing as a Spaniard
Please don’t be space aliens again.
Love Cavill, love the campy first and third Highlanders (well, mostly #1), but the second movie is stupid.
It didn’t need sequels or a TV show, and it darn sure doesn’t need a reboot. No thanks, Hank.
I get it. You just want there to be only one.
If it doesn’t have a weird stabby sex scene it’s not a proper reboot.
yes yes fuck yesh
You almost went full Connery there at the end.
Oh fuck yes I love Highlander
Sploosh.
Maybe they’ll do Duncan Macleod instead of Connor? Or maybe just keep the main premise and centre it around a new character
If they get rid of the theme song I will never forgive them. But most likely we will get a cover by some popstar.
