I started this thread becasue i enjoy the movies and the TV series.
I was wondering what over Pojoers thought of the movies and the TV show.
The movies are pretty good, but they lack ALOT of continuity, well to be honest there isnt any, every movie seems to not bother continuing from the last -
Highlander, Conner wins the prize, (Sean Connery cant do an Egyptian accent, or Spanish or whatever he is).
Highlander 2, conner ages and then suddenly becomes imortal again because the Imortals are ALIENS ?, (sean connery still can do an accent)
Highlander 3 - conner wins the prize, yet there are 3 imortals frozen in ice for centurys, so they get thawed out and me end up with a remake of the original.
Highlander Endgame:Conner looses his head to Duncan, Continuity from the series is introduced and sets up the next phase of the franchise...........
The following press release comes from the Official Highlander Fan Club:
Celebrating 20 years of The Legend, Davis-Panzer Productions, Sequence Films and Grosvenor Park are proud to announce that HIGHLANDER: The Source will start shooting in Lithuania this October. Brett Leonard is set to direct with Adrian Paul playing the immortal Scottish swordsman, Duncan MacLeod.
This new adventure to be, starring Adrian Paul is the first feature in the Trilogy. The Source will tell the story of Immortals as they quest to locate the Holy Grail of their world. The entire series of films will chronicle the origins of the Immortals.
Director Brett Leonard commented "This is a tremendous opportunity for a storyteller of this genre to take part in the mythology of 20 years." He continues that "HIGHLANDER is an amazing ongoing story that I can bring my visual style to... Everything I have done has led me to this kind of mythical fantasy."
Brett Leonard pioneered the creation of digital visual effects in filmmaking with 1992's Lawnmower Man, he also directed 1995's Virtuosity, and most recently completed Marvel's Man-Thing. He is heralded as a maverick in science fiction, fantasy and adventure by creating films with a strong visual presence.
Peter Davis of Davis-Panzer Productions noted, "We are truly celebrating this milestone in HIGHLANDER history by pairing Brett and Adrian in our newest Trilogy. We anticipate that this combination will recapture the filming glory of the original HIGHLANDER."
Davis-Panzer Productions is busy further immortalizing the Clan MacLeod during the series' twentieth year with an anime feature film in partnership with Imagi and Madhouse of Japan and a video game with SCI Games Ltd. of London. There is no limit when your story is timeless and Immortal!
HIGHLANDER: The Source will be distributed in North America through Lions Gate Films and in 40 foreign territories through the top independent distributors.
