New ‘Highlander’ Headed to Theaters

I have to admit that Highlander always confused the heck out of me. The original 1986 movie starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery and Clancy Brown as immortal beings battling among humans, hunting down one another and collecting more power.

Lambert played Scottish swordsman Connor MacLeod, Connery an Egyptian, and Clancy a barbarian known as the Kurgan. “There can be only one” was a line repeated throughout the film, which spawned four sequels and three television series.

Well, I sure hope they make it less confusing for pea-brains like mine, because Summit Entertainment is bringing Highlander back to the big screen, this time with Iron Man co-writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway on board to pen the script.
