What Else Do We Know About The Highlander Reboot?
I believe we currently possess several excellent components. However, when incorporating the tagline 'there can only be one', it is essential not to eliminate all characters right from the start. Let me clarify, our narrative features many of the same characters and concepts, but we have also integrated elements from all the TV shows. Our objective is to create a prequel that sets the stage for The Gathering, thereby allowing ample room for the franchise to expand.
There have been rumors circulating about a possible remake of the original Highlander since 2008. Over the years, various directors, including Justin Lin (known for Fast & Furious and Star Trek Beyond) and Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (known for 28 Weeks Later and Intruders), have been attached to the project, but nothing materialized. However, the latest potential director, Stahelski, seems to be truly committed to Highlander's future, which is a positive sign for its development.
No concrete reports have emerged about the direction Stahelski's Highlander remake will take. However, there have been suggestions that it will have a more realistic and grounded approach, diverging from the original movies and television show's fantastical nature. With regards to the release date, nothing has been officially confirmed yet, especially since filming does not seem to be starting anytime soon due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Stahelski has previously mentioned that the delay in completing his Highlander remake is due to his dedication to perfection and his unwillingness to compromise the overall quality of the story. Despite the franchise's recent lackluster and uninspiring sequels, there is optimism that Stahelski and Cavill's reboot, whenever it eventually releases, will revitalize the franchise.
