Yeah, I can see that. Henry Cavill has been busily chewing his way through comic book and action fantasy properties for the last few years; HIGHLANDER seems like an obvious next step. I suppose I’m just surprised that they’re finally getting ready to film it, five years later. Oh, well. I suppose if we could wait thirty years for somebody to take a second bite at that particular apple, five more isn’t so bad.

PS: I think he’ll do fine, actually. He was a good Geralt: Connor MacLeod won’t be too much of a stretch. But who can they find to be the villain?
Clancy Brown *made* that movie.
Absolutely. His gleeful villainy was a blast. Which is why I like Elba for the role; he has that same screen presence when he wants to.
Idris Elba.
Completely off topic, but ran across this, and thought I’d share.

It took me far too long to decide that it was *probably* a parody. Mostly.

I don’t know how accurate this is, but Dave Bautista is now an A-list actor, and he could bring an imposing physicality to the role. However, he is not Clancy Brown. There is nobody who can match the sadistic joy in his face when he says “Nuns. No sense of humor.”
