>Henry Cavill stars as immortal swordsman Connor MacLeod, alongside Dave Bautista as MacLeod’s nemesis The Kurgan, Russell Crowe as MacLeod’s mentor Ramirez, and Marisa Abela as Detective Brenda Wyatt, who becomes involved with MacLeod. The supporting cast includes Karen Gillan as MacLeod’s wife Heather MacLeod, Drew McIntyre as MacLeod’s brother Angus MacLeod, Djimon Hounsou as MacLeod’s immortal friend Sunda Kastagir and Jin Zhang as one of MacLeod’s immortal enemies. Irons’ casting marks the reboot’s first major departure from the 1986 original, which featured no major villains other than the Kurgan.https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/jeremy-irons-henry-cavill-highlander-1236389514/
>>214933621not sure i'm ready to see Karen get raped and murdered
>>214933621I like Cavill because he seems like a bro but he can’t act for shit
>>214933698dude its Highlander
>>214933717So he’s doing a Scottish accent? Neat! Still can’t act for shit, and it’s Amazon. Pass
>>214933621I like most of the people involved with this but why does Highlander need a remake? I can't stand remakes.
>>214933717He was legitimately useless in Witcher. Worst possible casting for that role and they milked it for what? 3-4 seasons?Dire stuff.
I don’t remember highlander they wellHow did they all become immortal again?
>>214933621If they don't have Russell Crowe portray Ramirez with his completely normal aussie accent as an homage to Connery's turn I will be extremely disappointed.
>>214933654She wasn't murderedHer growing old and dying while Connor lives on is a major plot point
>>214933698I guess he's a perfect example of what would happen if hollywood starts casting cosplayers to play characters they look alike
>>214933621It's an actual remake, using the original characters, not just a new Highlander story? What's the fucking point? Cavill is such a loser.>>214934109They just are.
>>214934109They were ayys, from the planet ZEIST
>>214934109They just were born like that, I thinkSome people are just built differently
>>214934305Literally me
>>214933621Why in the fuck didn't they hire antonio banderas as ramirez and make crow the kurrgan a viking inspired fallen king?Bautista isn't that guy....
>>214934157I'd rather him do a stereotypical Mexican accent and mannerisms for pure comedy
>>214933621Make an anagram with his nameYou can't
STOP HIRING FUCKING 80 YEAR OLDS FOR ACTION PARTS
>>214933621it's a pretty fucking stacked cast
>>214934370Guaranteed Irons isn't going to be doing action stuff. He'll probably be some evil CEO of a company, or some rich aloof weapons collector that Kurgan runs into
>>214934109Iirc some people are born able to become immortals but it only triggers if they die a violent death
>>214933621interesting, irons is very talented . thought crowe as Ramirez was rumored? davey as kurgan sounds fucking awful imo...
>>214933756welp your opinion is shit, Cavill did the most important part about the witcher, which is sword fighting. he did that very well.geralt is usually quiet and doesn't talk much.
>>214934242it's actually a tragedy, Ramirez was right, Conner was being selfish by not letting her live her mortal life with someone else. she wanted to have his children but he can't.
>>214934764Irons is an old school never turn down work kind of English actor. He can do oscar bait and he can do Dungeons and Dragons.
>>214934868he was the best part about that d&d movie
>>214934806Cavill is perfect casting for Geralt, strong, silent, wooden, still couldn’t pull it off
>>214934868The man learned how to combine two of his greatest passions: acting and getting paid.
>>214934894again your opinion is shit, Cavill did better than anyone else on the show and was under used. only a few fight scenes, The Witcher is mostly combat
>>214934894he pulled off geralt just fine, he even nailed the voice somehow. it was everything else about the show that sucked balls
>>214933621Sounds kino son far as long they don't go full The Force Awakens and get more innovative and risky
>>214934930>he sucked the least K
>>214934481>>214934109That's what the TV show established, but there was never any explanation "why" there are immortals, where the Prize came from, etc etc unless you watch Highlander 2 or The Source but those movies are legitimately unwatchable
>>214934962ngl boys i've never watched any highlander media but the original movie, i don't want to sully it
>>214935008I remember the tv show being ok. I could buy the guy as Duncan MacCloud of the Clan MacCloud, but I was a child at the time
>>214935008Don't. There should've been only one.
Isnt jeremy irons like 70?
>>214935149
>>214935008They say the anime was pretty good.
It is being done by the John Wick guy and he already said he will do for sword fighting what he did to gun fighting with Wick, which is a really retarded statement.
>>214935008Watch the first one and the highlander tv show. Watch no other movies nor the raven highlander show.You'll be fineCause, Highlander 2 was STRAIGHT UP illuminati messaging and propoganda.
>>214935149And?
>>214935221not really, look at equilibrium vs john wick. EQ looks retarded and JW looks like pornographic murdersex. the witcher sucked but cavill absolutely wrecked shit in the final sword fight of the opening episode, i am pretty pumped to see how it turns out
>>214933621They have to all have their own unique weapon and fighting language. And each fight has to be choreographed to tell a story.
>>214935285Yeah instead of watching the Raven just look up Elisabeth Ward Gracen's nudes and realize Bill Clinton tapped that when she was 20
Can Chad Stahelski make a well received movie starring Cavill? He's only directed 4 critically acclaimed John Wick movies.
>>214935474the best part of those movies are the action sequences so as long as they dont go up their own asses with the story it should be hard to fuck up
>>214934304>pearly clutching over the raped thrice over corpse of highlander of all thingsholy fucking retard
>>214933621Going to bomb. Highlander was a cult classic. You can’t replicate that era. Just going to be soulless crap like most these stupid remakes
>>214935474>Can Chad Stahelski make a well received movieYeah>starring CavillThis is the weak point. Keanu isn't a great actor, but he has charisma. Cavill is a block of wood. Bautista has nothing on Clancy Brown, Crowe on Connery, they can't carry this movie.
>>21493514980
>>214935718Yeah the action has to be John Wick tier to carry this movie because the cast isn't going to.
>>214933621>Early life and education>Marisa Gabrielle Abela was born on 7 December 1996 in Brighton to actress Caroline Gruber and director Angelo Abela and grew up in Rottingdean with her older brother Jack.[2]>Her father is of Maltese and Libyan descent, and her mother is of AWell anyway, I'm sure this very plain looking actress with no credits to her name will hit it out of the park in her scenes opposite the equally unaccomplished costars like Russel Crowe and Jeremy Irons. They probably had an amazing audition and earned their place in such an illustrious cast.
>>214935950>irons>crowe>cavillit's a movie for heterosexual white men, you wouldnt get it
>>214936100Jeet.
Jesus Christ why Bautista? Kurgan was legit cool as fuck in the original.
>>214933736The Highlander has a French accent.
>>214935116Why do the windows blow in? You figure, he'd be exploding with energy; thus, they'd be blowing out.
>>214936409Because it looks cool, the glasses falling on them like feathers... or rain. Shit is rad.
>>214933621>Cavill>Crowe>Hounsou>IronsThis film is getting a little too snydery for my tastes
>>214936458The John Wick director was, a long time ago, a second unit director on Snyder's movies. They're friends.It's also why now you've the John Wick screen-writers writing pretty much all of the new Snyder's movies, and they fucking suck.
>>214934894Cavill was literally the best part of that awful show
>>214935183>>214935008Anime is some solid retardkino carried by the animation, and what I've seen of the show is fine. They're so disconnected from the original that they don't really ruin it as much as the other movies do.
>>214934955that's one way to put it I guess
>>214935316the murdersex is the best part of both movies. wtf? both movies do it very well
>>214936289He sold his holes to the right peopleBautista isn't that guy for this. Hell he would be a better cerebral type side character who fights the highlander. But he does not have that.....IT to be the kurgan.Now Crowe, he has that primality to go for it as a hulking monster and over the top evil guy that chews scenery. And Ramirez should be antonio banderes.
>>214936409Because his body is absorbing all the souls in the room like a vacuum. The glass is being sucked towards his body harder than your dad sucks tranny cock.
>>214934347Jeremy's Iron
>>214935008>>214935057>>214935116>>214935183>>214935285Original, TV show, and Highlander 4. Nothing else. Highlander 2 for the bat shit insanity of it, best enjoyed with some chemical substance, 3 is basically a remake of 1
>>214933621....sounds like kino
>>214936289>>214937228should be michael shannon
>>214937930>Highlander 2 for the bat shit insanity of it, best enjoyed with some chemical substanceVery true statement. It feels like watching an insane 90s MTV music video and I kind of love it for that. Also, all the Sean Connery bits are comedy gold.
>>214937974
>>214937128EQ was the coolest shit when i was 14. it is plaid-level cringe to watch it as an adult
I hope they are smart this time not to make the ending definitive fucking the story up of sequels
>Dave Bautista as MacLeod’s nemesis The Kurgan
>>214935008watch the first movie and the saturday morning cartoonhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=w_RfGE-Q1g4
>>214933621>Dave Bautistaaaaand i'm out
>>214934347Is Ron Jeremy?
>>214933621>batista as the kurganwhyyyy couldnt they just pay clancy brown to reprise the role? he could do it, theyd just have to change a young kurgan to old hardened badass immortal kurgan
>>214934242And the whole time she lied about being damaged goods.
>>214939272>he could do it,He's 66 broHere he was 2 years ago in John Wick
>>214933654>not sure i'm ready to see Karen get raped and murderedare you sure you're not thinking of Braveheart?
>>214935116stanley kubrick himself said this was his favorite scene in any movie
>>214935008The OG movie is the only real good one and even then it is cheesy but the 3rd one is worth a watch as well. Dont even bother with the 2nd.
>>214933717this the shitty acting is a feature
>>214937974he was great as general zod
>>214938839the action is still good. you're a nut if you say otherwise.
>>214939272I completely agree with this, clancy could probably do the fight scenes better as old kurgan, than davey
>>214939432the harbinger aka the kurgan...
>>214939167Is he what anon? Don’t leave us hanging
>>214939432I'd be more intimidated by this kurgan than that fag batista
>>214935183It’s not exactly Shakespeare, but it is the only other movie that explores a story about immortality rather than being a story with immortals in it.It’s essentially two based retards wasting their immortality because they can’t let the past go.
>even in movies Drew will be jobbed out like a bitch
Ramirez should be Rami Malek because he's a fucking egyptian
>>214936380It's going to be really interesting to find out, like a mystery box with Connery. I could never make out what Christopher Lambert's accent really was..
>>214933621drop Crowe and cast Irons as Ramirez.
>>214933717he doesn't looka liek an ancient warrior, nor liek someone who could blend in any era.all the times he looks liek a model bodybuilder
>>214934109Nobody knows. Nobody want to know. Hignlander 2 doesn't exist
>>214934277None at all. The choice is between cosplayers who cant' act but look the part, and cunts who cannot act and doen't look the part and are also ugly. Cosplayer mogs.Either way he never resembled any of the characters he was hired to protray, except maybe Supershit, even if he was unrecognizable as Superman in those shitty movie for other reasons.
>>214934930He still fuckign sucked and was miscast
>>214935706It's one those rare movies that could benfit from a good remake, jus not one made nowadays
>>214935950John Wock action is capeshit tier, with unwatchable cgi blood
>>214943497you're opinion is incorrect and you can't explain it logically.
i refuse to watch another remake until waterworld 2 comes out
>>214933621Kino with kino cast.
>>214943588Geralt is supposed to look lia a ninja hobo, not a amodel bodybuilder, retardBTFOGo being gay for Cavill on your subreddit
>>214933621Can't wait to hear the Young Thug remix of Princes of the Universe, and the cover of Who Wants to Live Forever by Dua Lipa.
happy birthday my nigga
Bautista looks like a fag, major miscast
>>214933621I swear if they do a modern-time tie-in and not keep it medieval like the first movie i will spit on the carpet.
>>214936073Shes a Bafta winner. But yeah I know what you mean
>>214936073Yawn
