Russell Crowe Joins Henry Cavill in ‘Highlander’

Oscar-winner Russell Crowe will play Henry Cavill's mentor in the remake of "Highlander."

t.co

So he's not Ramirez, he's a "variation" of Ramirez, essentially replacement of the character. Lame
so what instead of a Spanish-Egyptian-Scott he'll be a Viking-Māori-Piriate!?
Cavil already reads more like Duncan than Connor anyway, this thing is all over the frikin place...

Still should be fun, I like both actors, curious to see their new take and their spin I guess. Will they still use the Kurgen as the main villain?
Or someone from the Phantom Zone?

I’m interested to see who is cast as Kurgen!

Michael Shannon complete the trinity!

Michael Shannon complete the trinity!

 

[Deck Rickard]

LOL I can’t await to hear Crowe do a Spanish/Egyptian/Scottish accent.

 

[Dave McFly]

Michael Shannon complete the trinity!

He can be Kurgan

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

I think Crowe is a good pick for a Ramirez type character. He has done sword fighting before as well.

Kevin Durand should be The Kurgan

Damn, now I really feel the need to rewatch the original Highlander, it's been decades now since the last time. I weirdly hadn't even watched it when I actually went to the cinema for the sequel, which was far from really good. But shortly afterwards renting the original I realised why that one could have some fun cult classic quality without being a masterpiece. The 90s TV show was decent fun as well.

A remake really cold be a hit or a miss. But I'm curious.

Dave Bautista Closing Deals For ‘Highlander’ & ‘Road House 2’ At Amazon MGM Studios – The Dish

EXCLUSIVE: Sources tell us that the Dune franchise actor is closing in on two Amazon MGM Studios movies: Chad Stahelski’s Highlander which UA is also behind, and Road House 2, which Dave Bautista was also circling. Bautista will star opposite Henry Cavill in Shahelski’s revival of the 1980s...

t.co

Bautista will star opposite Henry Cavill in Shahelski’s revival of the 1980s classic swordsman movie. We hear he’s playing the Kurgan, a character made famous by Clancy Brown in the original Sean Connery-Christopher Lambert film.

 

[Sawyer]

Bautista’s a good get, but can he match the deranged ruthlessness of Clancy Brown?

 

[Sithborg]

He was a damn good Raban. I think the can turn that up a few more notches.

 

[Lily Adler]

Anyone else gonna question that the original MacLeod was 29 and Henry is 42 going on 43...

 

[Deck Rickard]

Bautista will be good but I hope this filming goes quickly so James Gunn can turn him into Mongul and get the ball rolling.

Anyone else gonna question that the original MacLeod was 29 and Henry is 42 going on 43...

MacLeod looked between 30-40 depending on the scene anyway, so not sure it matters much.

As if a 29-year-old in the 1500s would be even remotely fresh-faced.

Goddammit, Adler, you’ve got me defending Cavill casting. I thought those days were behind me.
