Highlander comeback?

So it seems that in recent news reports that Chad Stahelski is attached to reboot the iconic cult film "Highlander" for modern audiences and fans also.

The news reports that Henry Cavil is attached to star in the reboot as our lead main character Connor Macleod who was famous played by the great Christopher Lambert for many of the films.

Chad Stahelski has stated that he thinks a TV series would suit the Highlander reboot more than a film adaption due to how complicated and lore heavy the franchise has become through its titles.

Chad went into saying this about the project:

“If I were to do a remake of Highlander right now, you’d expect a lot of mythology in those first two hours, you couldn’t explore stuff without it. Now, Highlander as a TV show now would be amazing. You’d have time to build it out, see all those flashbacks and the potential of it. It’s trickier when you’re trying to do something with that big of a mythology…That would be one to take a really big stab at. Here, we just had the opportunity to really learn as we went on with Wick.”
