The recipient of the Academy Award for the Greatest film of alltime is being remade !

The script writers are the same duo who penned Ironman ( which was a surprisingly better than expected film ).

The studio behind it is Summit Entertainment who made Push ( which was pretty cool if you havn't seen it ) Twilight , The Hurt Locker etc.

Please let them remember that Highlander 2 and the rest are all just made up and pretend and nothing to do with Highlander :)

It's going to suck enormous amounts of whale semen without a Queen soundtrack, unless they find a way to superimpose the old soundtrack onto the new one somehow.

I hope they retain the very dark edge of the original and at least not insult us up here in Skirtland with shit accents :p

Aye blossom, the way you like it.

Was just thinking exactly the same :)

That film was near perfect theres no reason to re-make it. Watched it on Telly the other night and loved every second of it.

Once again the evil cultists of remake rear their ugly heads

yea and we will take something that was good, and seeing that it was good and might maketh us a few more bucks we will take a big shit on it from on high.

we will taketh the script. put in an awful soundtrack, add some sex scenes that have no plot imperative, and cast some awful actors in completely the wrong parts.

:(

Bring on Machete, at least thats an original idea.

No, it's not. Mostly because that's pretty much over and done with.

Let's get this straight: Highlander is only good because it's so shit and shoddy, stop kidding yourselves it's actually a good film. It isn't. It is however, entertaining.

I quite liked highlander 2 because I fancied Virginia Madsen. But now I realise that it is about as shit as wazzerphuk's opinion.

See, that's what I think about Total Recall but everyone seems to have taken a bunch of smack and thinks it's a classic.

Got to agree with ECA here.
Fuck you buddy! :)

Sunshine is my third all-time favourite film.
Highlander is my second all-time favourite film.
The Crow is my all-time favourite film.

I can quote every single line of the film, in time, with inflection because I've seen it that often. Film trivia for you... the last scene where you see the planes flying down the valley and where he's sitting on the hillside with Brenda was actually filmed at the top of Sychnant Pass in North Wales.

All my favourite films deal with mortality/immortality. :)

Highlander = Groovy

Crush your enemies, see them driven before you and hear the lamentation of their women.

Highlander is a classic, but it is hardly serious filmmaking -- more a pop video that goes on for 90 minutes ;) I don't care though, it was one of the first films I fell in love with and first love lasts forever, 'even if there is no place for us'.

There were some good parts in Highlander 2 ("Careful she's wanted by the police!" "Really? I didn't know the police had such good tashte" (sic)) with excellent stints by Ironside and Connery but on the whole it was a cruddy follow-up.

Total Recall is an excellent film, don't understand why it gets a bad press off some.

Interesting to see where it goes and what comes out of it.

I'll just say the classic; if you don't like remakes, don't watch it.

It's not like a highlander remake takes away the slot of some other masterpiece movie.

And that's about it :p

I can't believe people are comparing Highlander with the work of somewhat weird genius.

OK, so they're both a bit crappy but at least Total Recall tries to be interesting with its plot. Plus it has hilarious uber violence.

I agree, it is hilarious. Paul Verhoeven is hilarious, I saw Robocop failry recently and it has some incredible comedy moments, one of which is:

YouTube - Robocop - Toxic Waste

*points*

Fuck Cohagen good!

Verhoeven is fantastic and anyone that disagrees should meet that end.
