Fast & Furious helms take on Highlander

Summit Entertainment announced last year that they were rebooting “Highlander,” and now the project has a director and producer.

Justin Lin (pictured with Vin Diesel in July, 2009) and Neal Moritz, who directed and produced “Fast & Furious,” respectively, will do the same for “Highlander.” Jamie Sonderman had been rumored to be onboard as director.

The original 1986 film starred Sean Connery and followed immortals who battle for supremacy while living seemingly normal lives in the modern world. 

There was also a TV series in the 1990s; however, I always thought the storyline was a little hard to follow. Of course, I don’t want them to dumb it down at all, but hopefully, the remake will be a little easier to follow then some of the previous incarnations.

With Summit helming “Highlander,” let’s hope for a hot young cast a la “Twilight.”
