Highlander is Next for the Reboot

  Yup, when Hollywood isn't making a comic book movie it takes time out to tickle you member berries with a reboot.  This time it's Highlander getting the treatment. I don't know much so far other than it has John Wick 2 director, Chad Stahelski on board and will infuriate most of the internet but not as many as Ghostbusters did.

  Why do they keep rebooting great films?! Especially when they don't ever bring anything different to the story. It is lazy, safe film making and that makes for boring movies! They should reboot some movies that were crap first time round! ha!

  See, while films should generally be taken out of the hands of directors and movie studios and while the first 2 films are iconic (the other sequels..hmm, not so much lol), im curious to see what the director of the outstanding 'John Wick' can pull out of the bag. Cant speak for the sequel as it hasnt appeared yet but the first instalment was phenomonal. While i genrally dont condone remake / reboots, on paper this has a degree of potential. Wonder if any of the crowd from the originals will be roped into appearing in this.

  NO!!
  
  I guess Hollywood didn't learn anything from Ghostbusters?
  It made money, it was popular with some, but it fucked up the legacy left by the original movies.   I can see this doing the same thing.
  
  
  I am Morag MacLeod, or the clan Macleod.  I was born 500 years ago and I'm here to fuck over your memories of a great movie by going all PC & overly feminist and suck it bitches, I cannot die!

  I agree with yoss54, it's the same old stuff time and time again, and it hardly ever(mostly never) adds's anything. I was watching Big Trouble In Little China a few week's back and said to myself, "They should make movies like this again, it's original and fun." Reboot's/Remakes and true stories are getting very stale.

  Oh no, Im so sorry FantasticMr..i missed that member berries reference..YAY, MEMBER BERRIES..THE BEST THING ABOUT THE CURRENT SERIES OF SOUTH PARK. Heres possibly their funniest scene to date to apologise.
  
  
  
  
  
  Haha Friday. Saw your Morag Macloud remark and instantly thought of her grumpiness from home and away. Heres a  suitably 80's clip with her in a spot of bother. We know she survives though..perhaps she is immortal..PERHAPS SHE IS ACTUALLY MORAG MACLEAOD lol.

  They've been on about remaking this for ages (which is all reboot means they just try to avoid using it), but it always fell apart. Looks like it unfortunately won't do that this time, can't wait to see them recreate all the characters people liked in the original only much shittier... I do wonder just how many failed remakes it will take before they stop trying to remake every single popular film.
