Henry Cavill is the new Highlander
https://io9.gizmodo.com/is-henry-cav...der-1846943392



It's guess better than the original Ryan Reynolds casting. I never realized that one of the worst parts of getting older was rewatching shit I've already seen... but with new actors.

Him. Hopefully they keep it more like the series.
Maybe each generation immortals are born.

The quickening and dark quickening were fun stories.

Loved the first one, didnt hate the 2nd one.

I really wish movies would just go the Playstation route, and just upgrade with next-gen graphics, color-correction, etc.

I would go see the original highlander - upgraded - in the theater.

So who is going be the next Superman? That's hard shoes to fill after Henry Cavill.





I'm actually more interested in when/if we are going get the Flash movie

Well, the movie also gave us a character that was born in ancient Egypt, moved around and settled in B.C. Japan, then moved to Spain for quite a while but finally traveled to Scotland...who talks like Sean Connery because he's Sean Connery.

Scrolling down I was waiting for someone to chime in with that amusing bit.

Yeah, but that won't the t ththe younger crowd back in the theaters.

Highlander has a cool concept. I will watch if they remake it.

I get that but I've also seen how people's accents change in a very short period of time.

My SIL's Kansas accent went full on Texas after less than 5 years of living there and it's never coming back. Same with people that have moved here from other nations. They have a heavy accent at first but when you check in with them 20 years later, they have little to no accent at all. So I guess the bottom line is that I can overlook that aspect of the film.

But what I've never been able to get past is the fact that a man who was born and raised in Scotland and never left his village speaks English with a French accent.

I mean, I can buy into "There can be only one!" and that there are several men across time that have been immortal. But a Scottishman who speaks English with a French accent?

That's just a bridge too far.

Heh, I know what you mean and I find it hilarious without ruining the movie for some reason. I've always loved that movie and I guess I embrace the cheese. It's one of a list of movies that I compelled my children to watch.

Back in the late 90s I worked at my old's firm's New York office for a couple of weeks. The main people I worked with were a couple of Brooklyn girls who both had hardcore Brooklyn accents (on top of being vulgar as hell, which was hilarious). I found myself starting to drop my "R"s after the first week. It was disturbing.

If by Flash you mean Flash Gordon...I'd be completely down with that...

But I loved the original. (or at least the color one from the 80's).

If there is ever a contest of battle to the death it's not going to be a man with a french accent leaving with the belt...
