Highlander gets the reboot treatment possibly with Ryan Reynolds

[Earth 2 Chris]

Nice analysis Tom. That video feel is what made Highlander a stand-out.

I can't see Reynolds as McCleod either, but if a French guy with a thick accent can play a Scotsman...

I like him as an actor , but no way could he play that role.

Uh... No. For whatever props I want to give him on GL, I can never see him in the role of Connor Macleod. Hopefully he'll pass and move on to a different project. Actually I don't want any reboot. I really see Highlander as a period piece that isn't open to a new interpretation. It's style is unique because of the video age of it's day. The director was more noted for music videos than he was for movies. And Highlander was his extension of that idea with lots of story sequences with Queen music played over top and sweeping camera shots to accentuate both the music and the moment. I love the movie. But I know you can't make it like that again. There can be only ONE.
