First look at Henry Cavill's Highlander confirms wet hair, access to swords
-
I love Cavill, unfortunately his products have a terrible track record.
Unfortunately there is now way this will be worth it. Highlander was great because it had a Frenchman playing a Scott, a Scott playing a Spaniard and Clancy Brown playing one of the greatest villains of all time all set to Queen’s awesome soundtrack.
Every attempt since at this material has been utter dogshit.

C'mon, the show was peak 90's syndication TV. Highlander, Xena, Forever Knight, Brisco County, the golden age of flipping through channels and stopping when you see one.

I mean a strong shotgun and then an axe on a downed immortal's neck seems easier to me but you do you.
Hear me out: chainswords.
-
Holy shit... I never realised that was Clancy Brown, I got his old face so ingrained as an actor I never made the connection!
Clancy Brown is like Tim Curry: No matter what, they will always make it watchable.
-
If I don't get to hear a groundbreakingly shit Scottish accent, I'm going to riot.
Aye, but do we also get a Shpanish one?
-
Eh why? The OG is perfect.
Come on hollywood how about some originality?

I enjoyed the TV series. The Four Horsemen arc was pretty good.

This comment is so played out. If you’re looking for originality Hollywood after the last 20 years, you’re looking in the wrong place.

Dresden?

Oh shit, is Daniel Craig available?

I find it a bit ironic that you recognize his face. To me I recognize his voice. Once I hear that deep rich voice I know Clancy Brown is in it.
In this case it is probably because I saw that movie in my teens. I live in a country where movies are dubbed, so I never even heard his voice until much much later.

I was so enthralled with the superb charter he'd pkayed at the time, I noted who it was and followed him in many of his productions since.
To me his character and the soundtrack are the glue that made the movie. It wasnt until No Country for Old Men and Javier Badem's character that I thought id seen an equally "good" bad guy
A head which at this time has no name. "I know his name!"

Ah, got it!

Okay but. They have swords though.
Yeah I would choose efficiency though. Taser, shotgun everything should be a go in a modern tv show. In the old one, the immortal 11 years old kid Kenneth would use anything he could to achieve survival. They always show us that the older immortals have the advantage as they had more time to train anyways, so why would other immortals didn't go with modern weapons I have no idea... For a TV show reboot the question must have been asked by someone in the writer room. Why is sword the meta? It's not really logical.
In kill bill the one who fared the better against the bride was Bud for a good reason. He brought a shotgun to the sword fight
-
All these nostalgic comments make me wish I had seen the original as an adult. I saw it as a kid and just thought it was bad. No concept of ironic enjoyment.
-
The first one is genuinely good. It’s the later ones that require significant amounts of irony and/or drugs.

Maybe it's not too late for me yet.

"The show"!? While I enjoyed both, I was sure they were referring to the legendary movies!
