Kevin McKidd should be signed up by Marvel to play THOR pronto!! The man is a good actor and this could be his shot to fame.

I thought by cutting off the top of my Highlander: The Source DVD I ended the chances of there being anymore Highlander projects....

After watcing ROME I would agree that Kevin McKidd would be a perfect Highlander.

BUT....and here is the catch, the problem hasn't been the actors in the movies and TV series, the problem has been with the writers and directors who produced bad scripts and terrible directing. No one has been able to catch the spirit of the first movie and TV series.

Meh... after all the sequels, music, television series - bad or otherwise - they need to let this go. McKidd would be a great choice, he's a hell of an actor - but I'd rather see him do something like Gray's Anatomy, which I hear he's in talks for. If he does Highlander, he'll just get typecast and frankly, I think he's too good an actor to get caught up in all that. There already was one. Is Hollywood that desperate for movie ideas that they have re-invent every movie made? Ugh, ugh and ugh. Oh and for heaven's sake tell them not to talk to Gerry Butler either.

I am and have always been a massive fan of Highlander. People keep telling me there are our highlander films but I refuse to acknowledge them.
When I heard they were going to make a remake I thought oh god not again, But with Kevin as Connor it could work. The next biggest question is who will play the Krugan! I hope they play it as it should and not a gay version as in Source (shudder).
What would you say about Clancy taking up the role again?

If they need to know how to play the Krugan they should read they following website description of the the baddest baddie http://www.movievillains.com/archives/2004/08/t...

It annoys me to no end when people call all Immortals "Highlanders" just because the movie and the shows were called that. Highlander refers to the Macleods who were born in the Highlands of Scotland. Ramirez and The Kurgan were not Highlanders, only Immortals. In addition, this article is wrong, stating that women cannot be Immortals. Watch the show. The show featured many female Immortals (which included my favorite: Claudia Christian) and the last spin-off series even starred a female Immortal.
I am surprised they are making another but Kevin McKidd is a phenominal actor and will do very well for a remake. I just hope the scrap the usual writers, as they need serious help with their ability to make long-lasting and unconflicting plot. I wish I could get enlisted to help, as I have written several unpublished works on the Highlander franchise that I have been told by numerous people to submit for publishing.

When I first heard about a restart to the Highlander franchise I was a little surprised! The original of course was such a classic. The tv series was great as well. Highlander 2 the Quickening and The Source,why did they bother. The third and fourth movies were,well, ok if you put them up against the other sequels in the franchise. I guess this franchise restart is'nt all that surprising considering all the remakes the studios have been pushing out there. All they really need to do at the end of the movie is not have the Macleod charater be the last immortal left standing. That way you can (depending how the movie does at the box office) make a sequel that doesnt have some Planet Zeist story line. You can take this kind of character in so many different directions, thats what made the series fun to watch. The series always put Duncan Macleod in so many different morale dilemmas, and the overall joys and burdens of immortality, plus some really good villains. You get a better understanding of the character. Easier to do that with a series I know but if done right, and they stay away from trying to tell any kind of story about the origins of immortals,then they can take the story to the next level, introduce new characters, and just make a better series of movies. But then again, as Martin writes about, I have seen a few unpublished works that a few of my friends sent me. Just phenominal stories that some fans wrote, far better then any of the junk they released in theaters after the original. As big of a fan as I am, I do kinda wish they would just leave it alone already. Sitting through The Source was painfull enough.

yyehhh! anether highlander, however i think anether TV series with kevin mckidd playing connor would be better than remaking the first one? then you would have series for both duncan and connor then the film timline might make a bit more sense. but i would watch it anyway! i love all highlander stuff! (yes! even the 2nd one and the source) :)

Thomas Jane, from The Punisher. Looks like Christophe Lambert. (might be his brother, separated at birth.
