The guy who directed the John Wick movies was most recently attached to direct, with the Ant Man 2 writers. Ryan Reynolds was once attached to star, but is no longer, as far as I know.
I like Highlander, but the original movie is a total mess. It's loads of fun and the concept is great, but the rules and the story don't make a lick of sense.
That basic premise is so strong though. It's really the only movie series I can think of that I'd say I would really be into seeing redone. That 80s cheesiness is great, but this story line could support a good take on an action/adventure movie, and you could hit different eras I history. Obviously you think of it being half Braveheart and half modern day, but there's no reason to limit it to that, you can go anywhere in the last 800 years or so.
The real question though is: Who do you get to sing the Queen songs these days?
But yeah, the premise is killer. Endless possibilities, it's begging to become the next great franchise. By all means, make it a series on a streaming service, each season devoted to a certain time period. I'm all in. And I like Ryan Reynolds and all, but no thanks for this property. I want it taken somewhat seriously at least.
