Summit Entertainment will produce a remake of fantasy thriller Highlander.
They have signed the Iron Man writing team of Art Marcum and Matt Holloway to write the script, with plans to expand on the originals premise of immortals battling each other for a mysterious prize.
The 1986 original was directed by Russell Mulcahy and starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown and Roxanne Hart. It launched four sequels and three TV spinoffs.
I have very little interest in this project and am only posting this news to tell this story. In the winter of 1995 I saw Highlander III: The Sorcerer 4 times in the old Weatherford movie theater on the square and to this day I still have no idea on Earth what happens in the film. I was an annoying kid, more interested in Cherry Sours and Milk Duds than anything happening on the screen. Why did I see this film four times? When your 14 and the local movie theater only has four screens you don't have many options.
