Highlander was a hit back in 1986. Starring Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery as ‘Immortals’ and the film saw the pair battle other immortals across the centuries, culminating in a modern battle in which, like the classic line of dialogue goes, “there can be only one.” The movie went back and forth from various time with Kurgan (Clancy Brown) who was an Immortal and a contender for The Prize — the power of all the Immortals who ever lived and he’s a foe of Lambert’s Connor MacLeod. The film earned a just under $6m worldwide ( and had a great soundtrack by Queen but it was enough to spawn an albeit awful sequel. Well now its being remade and here’s what we know so far about the Highlander remake…
- Henry Cavill will take the Christopher Lambert title role
- Russell Crowe will take the Sean Connery role
- Dave Bautista will take the Clancy Brown role. Bautista was circling Kurgen back in 2015 when a version was being put together under the direction of Cedric Nicolas-Troyan
- John Wick director Chad Stahelski will direct
- Filming is due to begin at the end of the September and shoot in the UK as well as Hong Kong.
- Michael Finch wrote the script for the remake. Previously he has scripted John Wick 4 and Predators (2010)
- The film is for Amazon MGM but will get a theatrical release
- There’s rumours that if successful it will spawn a TV series
