Summit Entertainment studios had just greenlighted to remake the first original “Highlander” film which was made back in 1986. The original “Highlander” film starred Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery. They are not only re-making the first one, they plan to start the series all over again with a clean slate and to hopefully make them better films. Summit has signed the writers from the movie “Iron Man” to write the “Highlander” remake and they want the original “Highlander” producer of the original film to produce the new version.

Since the earlier “Highlander” films and TV spinoffs were flops, Summit studios hopes to bring the “Highlander” series back with a high note by making the series successful this time around.

No director and no cast has been signed to the remake as of this moment.

Hmmmm, will they get Christopher Lambert back as Connor Macleod? I hope so. I actually love the 4 Highlander films as a matter of fact, I’m a huge fan of those movies.
