It looks like people still enjoy huffing glue now and again. We are told that a Highlander remake is in the works today thanks to our friends at IESB:
There can be only one…well, apparently not! Summit Entertainment will remake the Christopher Lambert classic HIGHLANDER!
Iron Man writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will pen the script. The idea is to expand on the original premise of immortals battling each other to become the most powerful, hence the “there can be only one” motto.
I just referenced Highlander in the School Of Rock 2 post as an example of leaving well enough alone. It appears others disagree with me, and have decided to remake the Highlander. Yep, thats right, a remake of HIghlander.
I am discombobulated by this outlandish decision. Highlander is a classic fucking movie, you sully its name with shitty sequels and now you want to remake it? Fuck that shit. I still haven’t seen any of the HIghlander sequels, and I have yet to meet a person that considers this a mistake. …..Also how the fuck are you going to remake this without the bitchin’ Queen soundtrack? Who wants to live forever is an amazing song in this film and it needs to be there forever and always.
I do not like this one bit, and hope the ghost of Freddy Mercury curses everyone involved with plague, leading to death, followed by undeath; so they may serve as zombie examples to other film makers with horrible ideas.
