'Highlander' Back on Television ... Because Theatres Didn't Want It'

[ithildin]

Fans of Adrian Paul and the whole Highlander continuum should be happy to hear that he'll be chopping off more heads in the near future. "Highlander: The Source" is scheduled to air on SciFi on September 15th and again on September 20th.
The film features Adrian Paul as Duncan MacLeod (insert your "of the Clan MacLeod" here) bemoaning his life after the loss of his great love. One hopes that means Tessa, but who knows. He joins up with Methos (Peter Wingfield) and Joe Dawson (Jim Byrnes) on a quest to find the first Immortal and the Source of their Immortality. Everyone who's seen the second movie, think of this as your way of pretending it never happened. Speaking of the movies, apparently this was originally scheduled to be a big-screen release but Lionsgate pulled it from distribution. This should be interesting.

The irony is that, despite the fact The Source is absolutely godawful, it will still mark a vast improvement in the quality of films on The SciFi Channel. I don't know whether to laugh or cry about that. ;)

Frankly, I'm really looking forward to seeing The Source and Adrian on TV again. Isn't this where his fans found him??

I'm not much of an AP fan, but I didn't find him on HL, but on the Colbys and then War of the Worlds. In fact, I remember seeing HL for the first time and thinking, 'it's that guy from WotW'.

and just think what the money they spent for a theatrical release could have been used on if it had been made for TV to start with. Could have been a four hour mini series perhaps. With, you know, a decent story even! [g]

I didn't think I could feel sadder about this movie but thinking about what might have been...*sob* you are so right. (And yes, I will be watching.)
