god i cant believe their proceeding with this, and on top of it all ryan reynolds is due to play the lead,

http://www.empireonline.com/news/feed.asp?NID=34395

there is no way in hell reynolds could pass as a scotsman, he should seriously consider getting back with his wife he seemed to pick some of his best roles when he was with her, and though she keeps rising hes just keeps falling and falling since they split,

i wonder woud connery be interested in playing remirez again

I agree with everything else, except you do realise Christopher Lambert is American, or French depending on how you look at it?

Ah Empire, truly they go out of their way to ensure that their articles are of the highest standard. For years I've been under the impression that Starship Troopers was a product of 1997 but Empire correctly points out in two seperate articles that it is in face a classic slice of 80s sci fi.

I think you can forgive the accents in Highlander as it's pointed out repeatedly that they have lived in numerous countries around the world over the centuries and as such the wandering accents are much easier to accept.

Ryan Reynolds seems to be the go to guy for everything in Hollywood.

REALLY!?

(Can you post links? I really hate Empire).

I'm going to get laughed at for this, but I think the best 'reboot' of the Highlander series is the anime.

As with any reboot/remake I hope they do the original justice.

I would agree there except that would not account for Lambert's wandering accent at the start of the film

MaxSteele · 27-06-2012, 15:50

Gerard Butler would be a much better candidate for this role.

Hollywood always does this. They get some young actor who everyone hates and tries to make him into a star by forcing him down every one's throats.

They refer to it as 80s cinema here and here

The anime was great, shame that we have yet to see the sequel that was promised. They managed to update the concept in an original and interesting manner that was leagues ahead of any of the sequels.

Not bothered about accents in this, connery as an egyptian spaniard and a scots man with a french accent in the original, still loved the movie regardless

Reynolds is a good actor but wouldn't really have him pegged as a Conor McLeod. They should give it to Ray Park imo, he's scottish and can kick arse!!

Agree to an extent. The downside is that it'd be over-choreographed and wirelined-cgi'd to bejaysus....probably more so at this stage!
