Henry Cavill’s Highlander Reboot to Begin Shooting Soon
It was a while ago that Henry Cavill was announced to star in the reboot of the 1986 action classic Highlander which was then led by Christopher Lambert. The reboot is going to be directed by Chad Stahelski who directed all 4 John Wick films. The progress of the film’s production was halted due to the Hollywood strikes.
Stahelski talked to Collider about his excitement about the project and also revealed that he hopes to start shooting the project within a year’s time. He said,
“We do not have a date, but let’s say within a year. [Laughs] Soon. Soon as I can. I’ve been developing two shows side by side: Ghost of Tsushima and Highlander. Those are the ones that I love. I have a couple of other ones that I really love. I have Rainbow Six and a few other things, but they’re still in development in the script phases. I’ve been trying to do Highlander now for eight years. I’d really love to do it. All the tumblers seem to be in play, and if everything goes well, we get finished with this strike, and our schedules all work out, it looks very, very probable.”
Fans are anxious and excited about this new collaboration between Cavill and Stahelski. With the director’s successful track record, the project will surely be a highly anticipated one. Fans have to wait and see how the project turns out as more updates will continue to come from its makers.
