Fast & Furious alums director Justin Lin and producer Neal Moritz are set to remake the classic 1986 cult film Highlander.  Peter Davis, one of the producers from the original Highlander series, is also on board to produce.  Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (of Iron Man success) will pen the script.  The original Highlander starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown and Roxanne Hart.  Casting for the remake has not been decided yet.

Details are small on the direction of the film.  According to insiders, “Summit’s plans to expand on the original Highlander premise of immortals battling amongst us and hunting each other through the ages. The new pic will center on an immortal Scottish swordsman who must confront a murderously brutal barbarian who lusts for a fabled prize.”

“THERE CAN BE ONLY ONE.”
