10 Classic Movies You Had No Idea Were Being Remade
3. Highlander
The 1986 classic Highlander explores the age-old battle among immortal warriors who can only be killed by decapitation. Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) must face his greatest enemy (Clancy Brown), who wishes to kill Connor in order to receive "the Prize" – a special ability given to the last living immortal which allows them to enslave the human race.
The franchise has already spawned five sequels, two-live action TV series and three animated spin-offs. They just keep on coming, but the world has lot of mythology to it which makes it interesting to explore.
The remake will be directed by Chad Stahelski, who directed all of the John Wick films. There isn’t much else known about the film yet, but Stahelski has stated the project has potential to be turned into a series instead. This would allow them to fully explore the mythology.
