Twilight Screenwriter Penning Highlander Reboot
- Thread starter Logan Westbrook
- Start date
As a diehard fan of the original, I have but this to say: hasn't this franchise been brutalized enough? Goddamnit.
To be fair though the writer was charged with turning the twilight novels into a full fledged movie, and lets face it their is only so much you can do with that tripe.Woem said:
uhmmm.... what are you talking about? I just watched highlander and there were no Egyptians. There was "Scotsmen" and a mongol or something.Thingo said:
Hey has anyone ever noticed that the actor who is playing the Spaniard has a more Scottish accent then the Scot. Now I will attribute this to Christopher Lamberts' awful ass acting but still.
I had no clue there was any Highlander movie after the first one... apparently that is a good thing.
What really interests me is that not even the writers of Iron Man and Dexter can make the movie New Moon watchable. 0.o

I hate reboots, never spend money on them, but this interests me. Mainly because it can't be as bad as the original franchise. I mean, the first one was iconic, but it's still a pretty bad film. Christopher Lambert is a shit actor (in Highlander anyway), the lighting and general mise-en-scene is awful, and so was the special effects and action scenes. The premise and the soundtrack carried it, and those are the only two things that should be kept
Fourth, actually. There already was a third [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander:_The_Animated_Series].Sabrestar said:
I'm probably the only one but yeah sounds fine to me. I loved the campy tv series the best(yes even better then the movie, I just like the world with tons of immortals better) and I think that if anyone could pull off cheese + decapitations it's her. Hopefully it will get Adrian Paul a small role and use at least one song by Queen, for fan service.
The only good thing to come out of this reboot is that it will surely spawn a hilarious review from Spoony.Folksoul said:

3 Things that must happen to make this movie a success.
1) Queen must do the music.
2) Must not be anything like Highlander: The Source.
3) Must be nothing like Highlander 2
I always liked that TV series better then the movies. Don't get me wrong Highlander 1 was awesome and set the tome for everything, but it has the reek of the 80's, and who likes the 80's?
Anyways I am at the very least interested in a reboot. Hopefully it works out of the best.

I think that is part of his appeal, He's so bad that he's "good". I cringe the moment he speaks in almost any movie he acts in. I know part of it is his accent (which he cannot help) but there is just something about his stage presense that just screams bad. Kind of like Vin Diesel (outside of Pitch Black).RoBi3.0 said:
To be fair .... what exactly did Rosenberg have to work with when given Meyer's monumental load of quivering, still-warm horseshit?
Rosenberg deserves an emmy if only because she made the movies more tolerable than the books (juyst so we're clear. Both the first movie and the first book are crimes against Humanity, but atleast Rosenberg's mass murder was less of a Meyer's Genocide level of Crime against Humanity).
...oh and no. I refuse to watch or read anything twilight ever again. I've already been traumatized enough in this life.

I read the first chapter of the first twilight book, long before the movie came out. I can say that it definitely not the screenwriter to blame.
As for the Total Recall reboot, I'm just a little mad it doesn't take place on Mars. I consider the original a classic movie.

My memory is kind of hazy, but wasn't Sean Connery's character Egyptian or something? Or maybe it was someone else, but i'm quite sure there's some kind of Egyptian somewhere in there. And i do know this movie is going to rape him and all the other Highlander characters till all traces of their dignity are gone.Fumbles said:
