>Centuries after his first death on a Scottish battlefield, immortal warrior Connor MacLeod (Henry Cavill) lives quietly in the modern world, haunted by the loss of his wife Heather (Karen Gillan) and the endless cycle of violence among his kind. When his nemesis, the ruthless immortal Kurgan (Dave Bautista), resurfaces, backed by the Watchers, a secret organization whose leader James Horton (Jeremy Irons) is bent on unlocking the secret of eternal life, Connor is forced back into the Game — an ancient battle where "there can be only one.">Guided by his mentor Ramírez (Russell Crowe) and aided by fellow immortal Sunda Kastagir (Djimon Hounsou) and a mortal ally, archaeologist Kate Bennett (Marisa Abela), Connor must confront his past and rediscover his purpose. As immortals clash across time and continents, the fight for the mysterious "Prize" becomes a battle for humanity’s soul.https://www.superherohype.com/news/632278-highlander-reboot-remake-synopsis-plot-henry-cavill
>>215082230Stuck with a receding hairline for centuries. Damn
>>215082713Yeah, I bet he'd much rather look like us.
>>215082713yeah, right.just shut the fuck up, you're not even a kid, you're a sperm.
>>215082230>Guided by his mentor Ramírez (Russell Crowe)Can't wait to watch this blob swinging a sword.
>>215082230So they took the original premise and needlessly complicated it with additional factions and characters?
>>215082772>>215082816
>>215082230>the ruthless immortal Kurgan (Dave Bautista), resurfaces, backed by the Watchers, a secret organization whose leader James Horton (Jeremy Irons) is bent on unlocking the secret of eternal lifeSounds stupid. Couldn’t they just study the one they have working for them? Wonder if they’ll put captured immortals in a milking machine like in Ninja Turtles
>>215082230>fat Ramirez >faggot Kurgan
>>215082230>aided by fellow immortal Sunda Kastagir (Djimon Hounsou) and a mortal ally, archaeologist Kate Bennett (Marisa Abela),Just stop with this. Just stop.
>>215082230>Watchers are not even Watchers now, just another bad guy organisation>The Kurgan is no longer a solo, unstoppable force of nature wandering through time on a killing spree to become a Dark God, he is bankrolled by the Watchersnot impressed but tentatively hopeful.
>>215083004Both characters were in the original movie.
>>215083004Sunda Kastagir was his immortal friend in the original too
>>215082836yes
>>215083069>>215083083You know damn well thats not what they are going to do. Hes barely in it
>>215082230Chad Stahelski is not a good director.
>>215082230I hope they keep the absolute kino moment where MacLeod uses the stance he learned from Ramirez just before he defeats the Kurgan.
>>215082230Wil be good. Henry is talented and makes low t men seethe
>>215082230Why does Russell crowe play Spanish people all the time
>>215083004I look forward to Academy Award winner Djimon Honsou's performance
>>215082230>henry Cavill and Djimon Hounsiu are going to have a team up fight together Russell Crowe will guide themAnd the 3 of them will and together to beat up a biracial gay dude.I'm ThinkingKIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNO
>>215083004He was in the original too, dipshit
>>215083004>one shot at life>parents name you DigimonWow
Who dares to shitpost forever?
>>215083769He's always good
>>215083233He had a fucking fight scene in the original.
>not one Scottish actor
>>215082230What happened to the 2011 reboot?
>>215084331Which one?
>>215082836Mostly tv series shit.
>>215082230I remember the original Higlander movie and for some reason I can't see Dave Bautista as Kurgan. I remember Kurgan being pasty white for some reason.>>215082820Dude was Robin Hood in that Robin Hood movie and Maximus in Gladiator. If he works out 6 days a week and limits his carbs, he can lose a lot of weight in under a year.>>215082836Wasn't that the t.v. series and later Highlander movies? Even the cartoon show on U.S.A. network.
>>215084853>Crowe lose weight at 61 years old when he hasn’t given a shit for years and iirc hated the physical regimen he had to do for Gladiator
>>215083004If you are upset because one Black guy is in the new Highlander movie, even though he was there in the original, just wait until you find out who did the movie's theme song.
>main character is immortal and has lived for centuries >endless possibilities for adventures, settings, characters, stories>set the movie in the modern world, the shittiest and cheapest option.
>>215085168it's ok bro, it's gonna be an alternate universe, lick Wickverse. God i hate this stuntman turned slop director
>>215085168Immortal in modern times is inherently more appealing concept than immortal in 18th century France
>>215085883not it isn't. You're so fucking dumb.
>>215085168The original movie has flash backs. The sequel with the aliens takes place in the future. Later movies and the t.v. series so have flashbacks to other times and cultures. Last Highlander movie I remember watching took place in the near future where the Immortals form a ad hoc group and are hunted down by other supernatural boosted Immortals, I think. The immortals in that movie did lose their abilities to heal their fatally damaging wounds.
>>215085883Fuck no, even immortal in stone age would be more appealing.
>>215086752Should be clearer, I meant the last live active action Highlander movie I watched which had the protagonist from the t.v. series but the woman from the Highlander film he was in that released theatrically.
>>215086758Just watch Justice League and Justic League Unlimited. It has Vandal Savage as a main antagonist throughput the series.
>>215082230>no RitchieNot interested.
>>215086900Pic related should play Ritchie.
>>215082230On the one hand, OC in a remake is always a red flag and highlander really doesn't need much more than a tired old man finding a new reason to fight rather than lay down and die.On the other, they're expanding using material from the tv show and trying to fit it into the original theme, and the fact they've got Crowe as Ramirez rather than an "accurate" Egyptian Spaniard indicates they get what the tone should be.I'll give it a chance until it gives me a solid reason not to.
>>215082230>Oi cont! O'im Ramirez ye? I'll cot ye to pieces wif me sord so nasty even ye fokkin mum won't recognize ye. It's gonna heaps hurt I'm telling ye. Look 'ere we even 'ave a bloke noaymed Digimon in the cast, can ye believe that?
>>215082713Shut up you fat bitch.
i refuse to watch this slop without clancy brown
>>215083769Fuck him, his name is demon.
i just refuse to accept bautista at all but as kurgan its not happening
>>215086758what the fuck is an immortal going to do in the stone age?
>>215088296He will be a respected and feared shaman and lead his clan through righteous quests until a stone age Kurgan shows up and ruins the day.
>>215082230>You did when I got plugs it could happen twice...
>>215082230Irons is playing Horton, eh? Horton went nuts post Kurgan's death and created the hunters to kill all immortals(due to how fucking brutal the kurgan was). But backing the kurgan directly goes against his o.g. character arc...
>>215086900The Richie and Amanda fatigue is real.
>Baptista keeps getting rolesPresbyterians btfo
>>215082931>Sounds stupid. Couldn’t they just study the one they have working for them? Wonder if they’ll put captured immortals in a milking machine like in Ninja TurtlesNot much use in one data point. Sure you can learn SOMETHING, but it's much more useful to have multiple specimens to know what stuff is individual and what stuff is consistent between many of these immortals.
>>215086758I had this half-written story concept about a dhampir (child of a vampire father and a human mother, immortal, blood-drinking, violent, but generally more civilized and more "human-like" in personality) in something like a Bronze Age setting, or perhaps more loosely something Scorpion King-ish - where it's "ancient world" but not necessarily this or that super-specific historical moment.A local king/ruler learns about reports about a "vampire" stalking the outskirts of his city-state. Attempts to find this vampire are initially unsuccessful. Then, during a feast at the palace, this "vampire" shows up in person. Makes it a point not to kill the guards who try to restrain him, just injures / incapacitates them. Demands to speak to the king and fairly easily makes it to the throne where he sits. Reveals who he is - that he is not a "vampire" but a dhampir, but indeed he is the one they've been looking for - and that he is annoyed by the hunt of the last few weeks/months. He's arrogant, but not evil for the sake of being evil.Think something like:During the talk, the king subtly gestures for the archer in the background to take the shot at this dhampir. The dhampir hears the arrow being released in time and catches it mid-flight. Gasps among the crowd, women looking at him with lust. The dhampir throws the arrow to the floor, looks pissed, but still doesn't attack the king."I did NOT come here to pick a fight with you!!!"He has been around for a long time in the general area, old enough to remember the rule of the grandfather of this current king and even before that. He's not very sociable, but now he's decided to try offering his services as a bodyguard / executioner / whatever enforcer, in exchange for being left the fuck alone for his feeding. That is, he just wants to be not bothered much and not hunted down, and if the king has some enemies or criminals who need to get fucked up, then he can feed them to this dhampir and everyone is happy.
>>215085883Perhaps for a long running series. That way you get the modern day plot, alongside whatever flashbacks are needed for the historical angle.
>we need a black sidekick for a historical m->he's already here sir
>Here's your Bronze Age Steppe barbian, bro.
>>215082230Every casting is a downgrade from the original but Cavill is just the absolutely worst, a lifeless plank of wood. This movie is DOA.
>>215084853>I remember Kurgan being pasty white for some reason.He was.
>>215082816>>215088122kek, why are balding fags always so mad, i dont think henry cavills hairline is bad but you are faggots for being uppity about it
>>215089341A jew is not white
>>215082230HERE WE AREBORN TO BE KINGSWE'RE THE PRINCES OF THE YOU-NI-VERSE
>>215082230Bautista as Kurgan? God fuck this project.
>>215089547He's not a jew.
>>215082230You are not asking the question OP... you know, the real question, what everyone in this thread want to know.Do Cavill and Gillian have crazy monkey sex and create the ubermensch?
>>215082230What I need to know is, will this fucker be in and will he perform 200 hundrend backflips in a car park?https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28XFho9q4yU
i can't wait to see landwhale ramirez battle lesbian-grandma kurgan. i'm gonna bet that heather macleod slits kurgan's throat when he tries to rape her.>>215086900maybe if stan kirsch knew there was one ritchie fan in the world he wouldn't have killed himself.
>>215089405Again shut the fuck up you fat bitch.
>>215088296Decapitations with a rock, duh
