10 Movie Remakes You Didn't Know Were Coming In 2019

6. Highlander

A reboot of the Highlander series has been talked about since as early as 2009, but every time the project seemed to be gearing up, it was just as quickly torn down. It's gone through multiple iterations since which have barely grabbed a headline, but finally, after all this time, the remake is finally going to happen.

John Wick 2's Chad Stahelski is on directing duties, with Lionsgate apparently looking to spin a franchise out of the initial movie. Although Highlander certainly is a beloved property for people who saw it at the time, that adoration hasn't exactly trickled down to new generations, so it's not entirely clear why Lionsgate have been so adamant about pushing ahead with a remake.

In fact, though there is a reverence for the first and best flick, there have actually been more bad Highlander films than good, and without the original cast on board, it's unclear who this movie is for. Still, the talent on board is pretty solid, and they could make something that surprises everyone next year.
