Who Wants to Live Forever?

19959676.000031 The Highlander franchise is proving harder to kill than its signature character. And don’t think they didn’t try, I mean sequels to the 1986 classic included Mario Van Peebles and the WWE’s Edge. According to the Hollywood Reporter, Summit Entertainment wants to revamp the genre hit that launched Christopher Lambert to well -  never mind. It was a good movie though.

Iron Man co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will write the script and Peter Davis, one of the original film’s producers, will take that role on again. I don’t know, the original was great. I’m always nervous when modern Hollywood types think they can remake a classic. Surely there’s got to be some original concepts out there worth taking a crack at.

    Amen, uchavogue. The first one was great and none of the sequels improved upon it. Here’s hoping the remake is a good one.
