What about Thomas Jane(Marvel The Punisher,Dreamcatcher)portrays Conner MacCleod in the remake Highlander, Brandon Routh poytrays Duncan McCleod.

I made this comment on the TMNT article but I would love to see a new GOOD Highlander movie. I am a fan of the series (excluding the last season when it got all weird) and I thought Duncan’s character sold the pain of living for so long. The reason I would a new (not really a remake)Highlander is because of how the Endgame and the Source ended…they were…well…crap. So, I would like to see a new movie done the way Trek was done where it’s a reboot or a sequel (true sequel, Highlander 2 was not a true sequel) with Connor and Duncan and flashbacks to Connor and Rameriz(sp). Perhaps Stan Kirsh can reprise Richie Ryan and not lose his head

[...] back last year we brought you news that Iron Man scripters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were penning the script for Summit Entertainment’s Highlander reboot. Now we finally have news about who is directing [...]

Another thing I think is very important to the Highlander world is the Teacher-Pupil relationships. Ramirez-Connor-Duncan. The fact is there is so many directions you could go with the story that all it takes is a true fan of Highlander which Patrick Wachsberger seems to be to make a masterpiece.

YES! I know blasphemy right? Guys think about it. Highlander 2 basically hit rock bottom and everything that followed dragged the poor Highlander world through a great big pile of…shiat. What I’m saying is a remake if done in the spirit of the first Highlander movie may do very well. Please no aliens. No added supernatural powers. No futuristic worlds. No flashback-less movies. Just Immortality, flashbacks, swordplay, and great villians.

But wait…who could ever live up to Clancy Brown’s portrayal of the Kurgan?

Hey, I’d love to see Highlander become mainstream again. The Tv series in early nineties was solid with Adrian Paul as Duncan Macleod and featured tons of awesome cameos each episode – Ron Perlman for one

I would look forward to this, as long as they get the right people. They should get Brian Thompson (The Night Slasher in Cobra) to play the Kurgen; they should also keep the Queen music.

You forgot the little-known Atari Jaguar Highlander game (based on the little-known animated series), as well as the recent anime movie, Highlander: The Search for Vengeance.

Obscure Highlander releases aside, a REMAKE need not even be attempted. This is an awful idea. There will be no Sean Connery. They’ll ditch the Queen soundtrack. MacLeod will be played by a complete tool. I hope this ends up in development hell.

So Davis/Panzer no longer controls the franchise? Or is Summit Entertainment working with them? Or is Summit Entertainment the new name of Davis/Panzer now that Bill Panzer is gone?

In any case, I don’t know that I’m in favor of this. While I’ve enjoyed, to varying degrees, all the Highlander shows and movies to date, the quality has declined rather steadily since the last half of the fifth season of the series. My feeling about Highlander are, like the Trek franchise, that it should take a break for a few years, and revitalize itself.

The last thing this franchise needs is a remake that throws everything out but drags the franchise even further down in terms of quality.
