New Highlander movie

[Ghostwind]

They've been trying to get this new Highlander movie off the ground for some time now. Sales reps from Highlander Productions have been telling me for over a year now that the new movie was "just around the corner" so take it with a grain of salt.


The last information that I had on the movie was that it was tentatively titled, Highlander" The Source, and that the only actor from the series slated to appear was Peter "Methos" Wingfield. The general plot seemed to revolve around a group of four immortals who are cooperatively seeking the source of their immortality (ala the fountain of youth) and the reason for the Game itself. As I understood it, the time period was supposed to be Middle Ages and not modern, so it would exist outside of all Highlander events with the exception of the presence of Methos.

But this is old information and we all know how fast scripts change in Hollywood, so anything still goes. Adrian Paul hasn't had a hit movie since he left the series and is probably a little more willing to do the movie now than he was when he did Highlander: Endgame. The only thing I know for certain was that they had a verbal commitment from Peter Wingfield to reprise his Methos character again.

What is this "Highlander 2" of which you speak?

It's an illusion. It never happened. These aren't the droids you are looking for. Go back to bed.

Yeah, it was all 6 seasons on DVD (the European version of the show, which is the uncut version) for $230. Works out to be an excellent price, considering Amazon is selling each season for about $80.

Wow! You got a great deal. I bought each of the seasons for ~$80 a pop. European version though, so that helps.

And here's the movie their talking about: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0299981/

Highlander the Source, as mentioned above. According to Imdb it's in Pre-Production and it was last updated on Feb 4 of this year. So don't expect a new movie anytime soon.

You know, the other one with Sean Connery and Michael Ironside. You remember don't you? You must have at least heard my screams of horror while I was watching it.

Another Highlander movie? There can be only one!

That sounds like it could be pretty cool. I always liked Methos and I always liked the bits where they did flashbacks to previous time periods. I'd love to see a whole series (of movies or a TV series, though I don't think that it can be done on a TV budget) build on following Methos or someone like him through the ages.

The only problem is it would mean they were even less likely to make my "Jackie Chan as an Immortal" idea into a film.

I think it's funny to use the upcoming movie to sell me the series on DVD. I would have been perfectly willing to buy at that price even if they weren't making it.

I did like the Methos character, so I'd be cool with him in the movie. And it's not like the actor is too busy making blockbusters or anything.

Only if, only if...

Um, they already did, it is called The Medallion.

You are one of those evil people who go around spreading blasphemous lies about there having been a second Highlander Movie. Shame on you! It is INCONCEIVABLE that anyone could have made such a movie.
