Face it: few remakes are ever worth the doing. Remaking Psycho, for example, was asinine; redoing Some Like It Hot would just be crazy. Same thing here: improvement isn't likely, whereas disaster is, particularly if the production values are cheap; even though none of the Highlander films comes anywhere close to either Hitchcock or Billy Wilder, there's just no good rationale for remaking them. Chance of success is slim.

Besides, the only guy who could have any draw as a star for this whatsoever (perhaps as yet another MacLeod cousin — ? or perhaps as Methos, though Peter Wingfield's still around) would be Clive Owen, who has more than enough work and really doesn't need to take such an offer seriously. He hasn't anything to gain by agreeing to it when he can get much better — and better paying — roles. So that leaves us with — what, exactly? No good reason. It just demonstrates how completely devoid of good ideas Hollywood is these days. This smells of rancid desperation, nothing else. Those involved should give it up before they've wasted any more money.

We can always count on independent films for originallity.

If they want to do a remake they need to start over and do it from another angle. Most people liked Connerys character, Rameriez, and he was much older than most other immortals besides Methos in the TV series. Start with his character being born in Egypt and go from there, show his life and all the many variations he has had to adapt to over the centuries, then end it with his death to Kurgan.

Cant they think of something original?

Not to much of a fan of the films. I usualy watch the first movie and Endgame, I skip 2 and 3. I still can't figure out movie 2. I'm a hardcore fan of the series, which was awesome. Yes The Source was awful and unwatchable. It was planned to be the first of three films, but they sold the rights to Summit so that was the end of that, which in hindsight was a good thing. They edited the Source so many times, isn't there like three different versions of that film floating around? I don't know if Summit can afford big enough names to play Conner and company. They will probably hire unknown former models turned actors, plus Rumer Willis. This I predict will suck.
