so I heard there was going to be a remake. checked this link and it sounds to me like it is going to suck. I don't know why they can never get this right. it is an esy formula yet they always screw it up by trying to change established lore. the info on this link says Macleod is a pacifist in the remake and only fights when he has to yet then talks about him using a sniper rifle to try and kill the Kurgan??? they should just let the franchise be, the last movie was so bad I did not think they could do any worse but this may be it

I'm with you on this one. Gregory Widen's original had a great premise, but it was ruined by II and III.

The series salvaged what was left of the original lore, and clarified that the winner of each particular battle between two Immortals gained the loser's power.

This remake sounds like it wants to kill off the franchise completely.

the only one i could watch is the original,everything else was crap

I actually like the TV series (Adrian Paul) better than the movies. But considering Highlannder The Source, I really think that they should leave well enough alone. A remake based on either premise (show or movies) would probably be a total failure.

Me too. It was faithful to the Original.

The original kicked ***, II was an abomination, III I could live with.
Do I look forward to this remake? Nope!
Do I even care about it? Nope!
Will I see it? Maybe.

Hollywood and remakes don't go together, somehow they always mess it up

I loved the TV series, in fact am rewatcing it now, just at the end of season 3. I thought Endgame was a great movie and follow up to the first movie and TV series, as long as you pretended 2 and 3 never happened. I atually prefer Endgame to the original movie. But the Source really ****ed me off, this movie was really an FU to the fanbase and it is a pile of stinking ****e. Bill Panzer must be rolling in his grave. The remake seams to be going in similar direction with a big FU to the fans as they are obviously messing with the mythology again....and Davis is producing this too

Can someone explain how the series even existed? By the end of the original film, there was only one immortal. How does the series fall into line with that?

No doubt...

There was a tv movie with both Connor and Duncan in it before the last movie with them in it.That tried to explain things.

The whole series makes no sense what so ever...
First Connor was the last immortal then some came down from space or another universe or some crap and Connor was an old man killed them and became young again????
Then we go way back to the magician and speed up again to Connor and Duncan and in the end it was Duncan as the last immortal so how in the hell did Connor become the last Immortal if Duncan is the Last Immortal?
And in the TV series you become Immortal if you die a violent tragics death ***???
Wish I could help you out but if you figure it out let me know...

I chalk it up to alternate reality or the writers/directors smoking up.

Wow more like there can be only one unless we need some money and truly want to screw over the fanbase...
