Highlander, the Resource?

[ithildin]

For as much cash as possible, it would seem:

Summit Entertainment is bringing back to the big screen the 1986 sci-fi cult hit Highlander, with Iron Man co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway on board to pen the redo, says The Hollywood Reporter.

The Russell Mulcahy-directed original starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown as immortal beings. Lambert played Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod, Connery an Egyptian and Clancy a barbarian known as the Kurgan. The movie spawned four sequels and three television series.

Summit acquired the rights to remake the cult classic from Davis/Panzer Productions. Peter Davis, one of the original producers of the 1986 film, will also produce the new version of the film.

Oh the Bunnies! The Bunnies! What if ...

There can be only One - what happens when Immortals choose to ignore that Rule? A small group led by Duncan MacLeod choose to do so, and find out the consequences.

Years later, the Game is unresolved, and a new generation of Immortals is appearing. A man by the name of Aidan* MacLeod (played by Brendan Fraser**, perhaps) makes his way from the Scottish Highlands to NYC in search of answers. There he finds a teacher, one of the last of the Old Immortals, someone who's seen it all before - a man called Methos.


*I think Aidan is an Irish name rather than Scottish, but that's the name that came to mind.
**Brendan's yummy, and mentioning Chris Lambert has me thinkin' Blue Eyes.
