Highlander Reboot Lands John Wick Director Chad Stahelski

That could be interesting, will be a high action movie -- but won't they be looking for a young newbie actor to break in with it? Make the new actor famous for Highlander only, and pay him SAG minimum or whatever to start, and get him to return for the sequels if any.

Moritz is producing and he's produced some Gerry movies, so at least it is a possibility. It is such an iconic Scottish male action role. Hope they do cast a Scot, and not an Aussie or Englishman or even Welshman to play a Scot. A Scot is just more authentic.

I'd like to see Gerry do it, if he's up to sword-swinging. I enjoy swords much more than explosions and gunfire fueled movies.

Yea will be high action but also have them dramatic moments as well, They could well be looking for a new actor who knows that is not known in film or TV

Yea exactly it would be common sense to get a Scottish actor, But if it will be a Welsh or Englishman that would be alright obviously!

I think it would of been better if Gerry would of done it while he was in his 30's, But the opportunity didn't come till now



I mean being in his 40's is fine but think in his 30's would of been better!

Yea exactly he does know how to use a sword :-)

I hope they at least use some of the musical score or songs by Queen in this

Exactly - if only Highlander had come earlier, like with Bond, but Brocccoli committed to Brosnan who I like very much -- but I think he stayed on too long and Gerry missed his entry there --- Butler was never offered Bond though rumors swirled and he was struggling and had no heat on in his London flat at the time he said. Daniel Craig - I like Casino Royale but Bond could have changed hands for me after he did 2. Scottish Bond harkening back to Sean Connery would have been so awesome. I keep thinking it's too late for Gerry Bond, but it's rumored Idris Elba Bond and I'd love to see Idris but he's in his 40's too -- Brocccoli producer family said to be ultra-conservative so maybe Gerry too brash & for Idris passed over - a new hashtag #BondSoWhite

I always think it is best for Bond to be in his 40's not 30's, And all of them have done that

Timothy Dalton being one of my fab as he was on of the first dark Bonds just like the books

I don't think Idris won't be Bond, Daniel has said he has got another 2 films left in him at least

So what are some of your fav films from now and back in the day

What??!!! I heard Daniel is done, and was hoping he'd go back to dramas which he's good in. I guess I'll have to google if they are looking for a new Bond. Last movie was a disappointment for me. I liked Timothy but his movie didn't perform and they hit eject. Sean was brunette too if that's what u mean by 1st dark Bond.

Let's spread word for Highlander Gerry - if they go big enough budget they'll need an international star like Gerry. I think his ask is $6M. I'm sure he's getting more than that to come back for Angel Has Fallen and Millennium wants him rather than young replacement -- tried that with Transporter 3 without Jason Statham and that didn't work out. WISHLIST for Xmas -- Gerry turns down Angel sequel to launch Highlander returning to his sword action roots of 300 and Attila and Beowulf. John Wick director loves 50+ Keanu Reeves who does amazing fast action and is back for another. So they're not guilty of ageism.

That said, on here u can see Gerry busy with a couple projects and his passion project is Burns - period bio on great Scot poet Robert Burns. Check board for JoeVinds recent video interview with Gerry on who he wants to play. He hasn't been able to get financing. For Highlander with drama/action he could get greenlit -- for period drama Burns much tougher.

Gerry could use Highlander drama/action chops as stepping stone to finance drama/romance Burns. Someone send him the message!! Stat.

I remember reading a poem by Burns in Honors English in high school but when Sister asked us to select a poet to write about, I chose Rupert Brooke and Wilfred Owen whose work has stayed in my poetic heart since then- perhaps I should have paid more attention to Burns!!!! Ha

From what little I remember of Burns he died before he was 40 I think. You know it doesn't matter how old an actor is as long as he captures the heart of whom the person is. In seeing Crowe as John Nash it never occurred to me to question Russell's actual age. Writing poetry can be pretty (cinematically)undramatic and I'd interested to see how he will handle this

It took Scorsese nearly 30 years to bring Silence to the screen , so it may take him awhile to achieve such!

Highlander with Connery/Lambert- my mom and I watched so that we could hear Who Want's to Live Forever- and I've heard Sarah Brightman perform it a few times

""O my Luve's like a red, red rose, / That's newly sprung in June." Robert Burns
that's the poem I read

Link here I read it few months back: www.mirror.co.uk/tv/tv-news/daniel-craig-signs-up-two-6571986

UMMMM Both his Bonds films The Living Daylights $40 million budget- Worldwide Gross $191.2 million + Licence To Kill $32 million and worldwide gross $156.1 million so both films were hits -Don't know where you got that from and knew as a kid they were box office hits not including VHS sales afterwards back in the 80's which they sold many more afterwards

The reason why he didn't do Goldeneye was cause he broke his leg and took to long to heal so he didn't want to do it in the end fact

Anyway getting back to Highlander, What century or decades would you like to see covered?

The most recent movie that I saw starring Hilary Swank was called 'The Homesman' (2014). She was a pioneer woman in one of her best performances so far. IMO she's such an amazing actress in everything she does.

I also watched an earlier British TV mystery recently with Daniel Craig. It was called 'The Ice House', based on a novel by Minette Walters. DC was a lot younger, but he was always a really fine actor.

Perhaps Gerry, at this stage, could take on the part Connery played in the original 'Highlander'. That part seems more age appropriate for him IMO. BTW what's with all the recent fake(?) reports that he and MB have split for good? Are Gerry or his PR people playing some kind of game just to get media attention? Especially as photos have just appeared of them currently together in NOLA. I gather that some of Gerry's fans are getting a bit fed up with all the so called 'mystery' LOL. Although, aside from some die hard fans like Geefu, does anyone really care anymore? Oh, well, here's hoping for 'Keepers'. Here's a little trip down memory lane with lovely Gerry

BTW does anyone here like Catherine Cookson novels? I'm currently enjoying all of the TV adaptations of her books on Youtube. Such top quality productions, featuring some terrific British actors, including some familiar faces, e.g. a very young Catherine Zeta Jones.

Speaking of terrific British actors, I'm afraid I've lost it completely for that Captain Flint bloke - every time he stands on deck and bellows 'FIRE' I just about lose my cookies, he is so incredibly manly and so human and flawed in every sense. The poor guy is doomed though so I guess the Cpt. Flint effect can't last much longer for me LOL. Such a fabulous role for an actor and I will miss him so very much. This character really got to me, especially going into season 2. This beautiful Leonard Cohen song 'Avalanche', featured for Captain Flint at the end of season 2, actually gave me chills and made me cry buckets as performed by Nick Cave and I just have to share it here

I also found this gorgeous short Flint video by 'Opera Ghost' who also makes videos featuring Toby Stephens in other shows. That name seems a bit familiar and makes me wonder if she was or is also a Gerry fan?
