    I'm all for "Highlander School Musical." Sounds good. Roll film. Action. Don't forget to get paid for that.

    At least they waited over twenty years to remake this movie. I'm more upset about the remake of the Clash of the Titans, but that movie is probably gonna be great.

    Not to much of a fan of the films. I usualy watch the first movie and Endgame, I skip 2 and 3. I still can't figure out movie 2. I'm a hardcore fan of the series, which was awesome. Yes The Source was awful and unwatchable. It was planned to be the first of three films, but they sold the rights to Summit so that was the end of that, which in hindsight was a good thing. They edited the Source so many times, isn't there like three different versions of that film floating around? I don't know if Summit can afford big enough names to play Conner and company. They will probably hire unknown former models turned actors, plus Rumer Willis. This I predict will suck.

    Vin Diesel is going to be in this. He plays D&D and is in about half of Justin Lin's films.

    I really wish Hollywood would quit rebooting stuff. I liked the original Highlander, but was it really THAT good that we need to remake it? Didnt the abysmal line of sequel films tell them anything?

    Cant they think of something original?

    I went to the movies to see the original and really enjoyed it and the series that came out, but all the sequals were less than disappointing they were embaressing to say the least. I can't even see where they tried to write a good story instead of simply hacking out a script.

    If they want to do a remake they need to start over and do it from another angle. Most people liked Connerys character, Rameriez, and he was much older than most other immortals besides Methos in the TV series. Start with his character being born in Egypt and go from there, show his life and all the many variations he has had to adapt to over the centuries, then end it with his death to Kurgan.

    Now they have to find someone as talented and with the personality of Sean Connery to pull it off.....good luck with that.

    Hollywood squeezing the tube of remakes like toothpaste, they won't stop until it's all out.

    We can always count on independent films for originallity.

    I'm still waiting on the digital enhanced version of Highlander 2. I find when I'm bored, going to IMDB and reading some of the comments really helps pass the time.
