The reboot of Highlander has a long history, apparently going back to at least 2008, and has been variously attached to the likes of Justin Lin and Ryan Reynolds to direct and star, among many others. John Wick director Chad Stahelski has been attached since 2016, and was still talking up the film back in December 2018. Now, he’s announced that Highlander is still happening and that the production may finally be close to getting underway.
The director had this to say about where things are with Highlander right now:
“We’re in heavy development mode on Highlander. Tweaking the scripts, writing, conceptualizing sequences, how we’re going to do everything. We probably have a lot more in-person kind of things, but it hasn’t slowed down our development process at all.”
Of course, this could mean many things, especially since a script from Colony‘s Ryan J. Condal was reportedly ready...
