I don't know if this is old news or not, but I certainly don't remember reading anything about it here.

I am excited beyond all belief, Endgame was a killer flick and I'm glad we will get one more.

There is also an anime called The Search For Vengeance was that was released last month

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Highlander:_The_Search_for_Vengeance

God I hope this movie is good!

woohoo, as long as its better than the last highlander film

sean connery anyone?

Search for Vengence is bad ass Veep...errr Sin. Damnit it's going to be hard not calling you Veep. Anyway you'll like it alot.

*edit* Ok I just went to the wiki page for SFV and got royally pissed. The English verison is shorter?!?! And their still releasing the "Director's Cut" later this year. Damn it that pisses me off beyond belief. I hate it when they pull that ****.

I go against the grain by saying Endgame was the second best Highlander movie. The first being the original of course. Most people just like to bash it because it favors Duncan over Conner. I still think it was a great movie. Looking forward to The Source, and I believe it's going to have more of Methos' history in it.

Endgame is my second favorite too

This has been in the works for some time now.
It's called Highlander: The Scource and this new adventure, starring Adrian Paul is the first feature in a planned Trilogy. The Source tells 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.


No Connery, no Lambert.

And I loved Endgame, Jacob Kell was the best villian ever. But I was more than pissed at how so many cool scenes were shown in the preview, but didn't make it to the movie.

Even more pissed that these scenes did not get put in the two disk SE DVD.

Even MORE pissed that they saw fit to add a completely new ending that rewrote the entire end of the movie so that it was a happier ending. Highlander has always been about loss, and in the original ending of Endgame, Duncan lost the love of his life, and a brother. To change that ending so that Kate lived really cheapened the ending.

I can't seem to pin down wn exact release date, but September 07 seems to be the month.

It's a Lion's Gate Release and while they're known for a few big screen releases, they've certainly released their fair share of DTV releases, and the production values reinforced that fact.

I realize that these will most likely go to the big screen, but I hope their production values end up being more than that of a DTV feature.

I'm all for another Highlander movie.
A trilogy, I'm not so sure.

We'll soon find out, I just hope we don't have another Highlander 2 fiasco.

Anything that stays aways from the planet Ziest or involving time travel will automatically make it better than Highlander 2 by default alone.

That movie has to be good, since I am a huge fan of swords and fighting like that................But I would want to see Dolph Lungreen wieldin a sword, he might be a tough opponent to fight.

Nope, in fact I bought it on DVD. I still watch it from time to time.

No, you are not. Great film for it's year/genre...but NOT as good as Conan: The Barbarian. BEST SWORD & SORCERY FILM. EVER. F*** LOTR! Conan, FTW!

Crappy short final sword fight in Masters of The Universe, IMHO.

"I have the power!"

NOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Highlander is the only film in history where the sequels are even worse than those in the Matrix series, without exception.
The original was gold, pure gold, and every sequel has tarnished it beyond repair.

Endgame was utter crap; who the hell ever told Wrestlers they could act? Mario Van Peebles is about the only thing worht watching in H3 and if Connery couldnt save the series, what hope did he have? And H2 is just unspeakable filth of a movie.

Id rather they just remade the TV series (without 'Richie' this time) that was way better.

I loved the first movie, endgame was nothing special to me IMO (not saying that it was bad).

Anywho, rumors indicate that a workprint of "The source" is already circulating the P2P networks. Most reviews of it are supposedly negative.

Considering that the new movies are based on the tv series and the main character is Duncan and not Conner (Richie is dead) you should be a happy camper.

Don't agree with you on Endgame, however, I actually found it just to opposite. However, I'm also looking at it as a continuation of the series and not the original movie (though elements are incorporated), I can view it from that perpective and be quite happy.

I'll agree that both versions of Highlander 2 were total and utter crap. There was absolutely no way to save that movie, and Highlander 3 was...ughhhh, plot holes galore, but came a long way to trying to repair what happened with the previous film.

if you watch in this order its a bit more pallateble(sp)

+ Highlander
+ Highlander III
+ Highlander: Endgame

+ Highlander II Renegade version - if your sadistic ^^

on that note .. SciFi is going to be showing the new animated series ..

enjoy

Dudes what are you talking about? Highlander 2 was the best movie of all time. I wish I was from Geist. Wait a minute let me sit down, oh crap what did I just write? Seriously though Source has been in production for a looooong time, they're have been problems along the way with people being concerned that it was going to be another Highlander 2. I've heard that early drafts had an all young cast with no mention of the MacLouds and it was to be a new starting point. That got changed quickly when Adrian Paul and Christopher Lambert were brought on board.

I don't know. As a standalone, Highlander 2: The Renegade Version* works as a entertaining sci-fi film. I will admit that when combined with the other films, it does tend to make your brain bleed.

Highlander II: The Quickening...now that film...no hope, no hope at all. (minus five points to me for using a TF:TM ('86) reference.)

Let me ask you this, if they stuck you in a room and you had to watch Highlander II, but they gave you a choice between the three versions (The Quickening, The Renegade Version, Digitally Remastered Director's Cut*) which one would you choose?

*=(and about the new digitally remastered Director's Cut, it looks nothing short of fantastic. If nothing else, the visuals alone are insane.)

I know, this is one of those things you're never supposed to admit to in public but....

I actually liked Highlander 2: The Quickening. 'course, I was like 15 or 16 when it was released, so I blame the folly of youth for my mental imbalance there.

Now, The Renegade version is a different beast altogether. I don't mind saying I liked that flick. It's wonky when put in with the rest of the movies, but then each movie after the first totally seemed to try to reinvent the whole blasted backstory. Poor Connor. Guy's got the Prize and all that, yet for some reason there's always ANOTHER random, lost Immortal coming out of some damned cave somewhere and fudging with him. In retrospect, the Highlander series probably should never have seen a sequel, but so long as we've got 'em, I suppose we should make the best of 'em, eh?

Oh... and Masters of the Universe rocks. I don't care if it's nothing like the cartoon, it still rocks. Skeletor gets the prize for being perhaps the coolest licensed bad guy ever brought to the screen, simply because he was so much better than his cartoon counterpart. He's got some of the best lines ever.

"Tell me about the loneliness of good. Is it equal to the loneliness of evil?"
"I am not in a giving vein this day."

That whole sequence before the Eye of the Galaxy where he gives his big monologue is just plain awesome. Frank Langella is my hero.

Oh I'm more than willing to admit that I enjoy Highlander 2. I even bought the latest version of the Director's Cut on DVD. (I've got all of the Director's Cuts on DVD.)

It's really not that bad of a movie.

Oh and I love the MOTU movie. I have it on DVD as well. Cheesy as hell, and Tom Paris (before he was cool and running Voyager and all) is there, but hey...it's a classic of schlock!
