>JOHN WICK co-director Chad Stahelski has been tapped by Lionsgate to direct the upcoming remake of the 1986 cult classic HIGHLANDER, which they believe could become their next big franchise.
>The project had previously attached Justin Lin, Juan Carlos Fresnadillo and Cedric Nicolas-Troyan as directors, and is now looking for writers to work with Stahelski in mapping out the movie's story.
>In the past, Ryan Reynolds, Tom Cruise and Dave Bautista were linked to the lead roles of Connor MacLeod, Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez and The Kurgan, respectively, but there's no word on whether they remain on the studio's radar for Stahelski's vision of the film.
>Tom Cruise as a gay spanish pirate count me in familia
Caleb Collins
I've lost all hope for that remake to ever come out.
Highlander is my favorite movie of all time, so I'm glad.
Hunter Roberts
movies saved by the soundtrack general?

>Chad Stahelski in charge of Highlander >David Leitch in charge of Deadpool >John Wick 2 coming out soon Are we entering a new era of Actionkino?
Eli Rivera
Highlander is an amazing movie, with or without it's soundtrack.
Fuck off, it's not nostalgia.
Cooper Reed
The original could have been a GOAT film if they didn't cast someone who couldn't speak English in the lead role
Jacob Rivera
the movie looks ugly and Lambert is fucking terrible, Queen and Connery saved the movie
Sebastian Green
You forgot Clancy Brown, the majority of his dialogue is ad-libbed even
Blake Wilson
Always loved how weird Lambert is in this movie.
I know that it's because he barely spoke english at a time, but I always thought that somebody who lived for 500 years would act like an alien.
And his accent is handwaved with "Lots of different places" line.
I love this movie so much.

>Trenchcoats and katans will never ever be cool again.
Hunter Price
you'd have the same issue if they cast an actual scotsman
Andrew Russell
On that note, Gerard Butler is a no-brainer as Mccleod
Ryan Wood
Does Gerard Butler have any star power anymore? Seems to me he's just been in those x has fallen movies lately. Do those make money? I've never seen them.
Tyler Wright
Pretty much a cheap action guy who'll do anything
Brayden Moore
yes I forgot based Clancy Brown
Dylan Rivera
I guess he'd be alright, I find him pretty dull though. He has just a little bit more charisma than somebody like Sam Worthington. Just boring dudes imo, they need somebody with some flair for at least one of these roles.
Leo Martinez
I hope the remake is a combination of the first and second Highlanders.
I want to see futuristic sky boarding mixed with sword fights.
Dylan Ortiz
Will they be remaking the sequel?
Luis Torres
Weren't they going to direct a meme movie with Chris Pratt?
Andrew Morales
It wouldn't be the same without Connery stopping a big metal fan with his hand.
Henry Nguyen
>Juan Carlos Fresnadillo
top kek that fucking retard rejected a lot of fucking hollywood offers, from Bioshock to this, and ended directing a shit movie called Intruders since 28 Weeks Later.
He's worse than Rodrigo Cortés
Joshua Morales
ywn concentrate all of your life energy into one single moment
This should have been made about 10 years ago with Ewan MacGregor as MacCloud and Liam Neeson as Ramirez.
Elijah Ortiz
why the fuck do they keep trying to make movies? It worked much better as a TV show. You can literally have episodes about any point in history and any setting.
