Summit Entertainment is bringing back to the big screen the 1986
sci-fi cult hit "Highlander," with "Iron Man" co-writers Art Marcum
and Matt Holloway on board to write the script.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if545c66bc7e57054442cdd46721ae9c0">
The original "Highlander" starred Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery
and Clancy Brown as immortal beings battling humans, hunting down
one another and collecting more power. Lambert played Scottish
swordsman Connor MacLeod, Connery portrayed an Egyptian and Clancy
was a barbarian known as the Kurgan. The film -- with its "There
can be only one" catch phrase -- spawned four sequels and three
television series.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if545c66bc7e57054442cdd46721ae9c0">Peter Davis, one of the original producers of
the 1986 film, also will produce the new film.</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.hollywoodreporter.com/hr/content_display/news/e3if545c66bc7e57054442cdd46721ae9c0">
Davis said the new "Highlander" will not just be a remake but will
incorporate more backstory elements and prequel aspects that will
be fleshed out to expand the story line in a way that is inventive
yet faithful to the original story.</blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/16EACFF8-53CF-46CD-AEC1-D6BF1CE8B619/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
