highlander
There can be only one….. and then five more…. plus two TV shows and an animated series. With a little help from an old friend, the Movie Retakes podcast tackles the seemingly endless universe of ‘Highlander.’

Highlander is such a massive property. Luckily, the studio (Lionsgate) is really behind me in this. I truly believe this is one of those properties that could actually sustain a good universe, meaning a TV show or something. And to go out there, and just haphazardly throw together what we think would be a quick sword fighting-immortal movie, I think would be a mistake. And honestly, the people behind this, the studio behind this, they’re dying for this to go. If anything, I’m the one holding it back, and trying to creatively lay out everything. We just don’t want to paint ourselves into a corner creatively, like what happened with the original.
