It's official Ryan Reynolds will play Connor MacLeod in the 'Highlander' reboot. The news comes from
The Tracking Board who claim that negotiations are complete and that Reynolds has officially secured the gig. The remake is set to be helmed by Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later). The story of an immortal Scottish swordsman who faces off with other
immortal warriors in order to obtain a coveted ability known as "The
Prize." I always did like the original 'Highlander', mostly I think for it's casting, it's crazy crazy casting. A French man playing a Scot, a Scot playing an Egyptian and an American playing whatever the hell the Kurgan is. Lets hope they do a good job on this one and leave out everything to do with 'Highlander 2'. No release date has been set.
