Casting Call - Highlander Reboot

When I heard that Summit entertainment was going to be rebooting the Highlander Franchize with full blessing from David Panzer. (Producer of all things Highlander) The Writers from Fast and Furious and Iron man will be working on the Script and is under way. I myself have thougt that it is my civic duty as an avid Highlander fan.. even the bad ones to throw in my twenty cents as to whom should be cast. This will kickoff my Casting Call series as my first public Casting Call. Lets first go over some of the key characters you may remember.

Connor MacLeod-
Brenda Wyatt-
The Kurgan-
Ramirez-
Heather-

Yes there are many other great characters, but these are the ones that I am casting. Along with two cameo Characters which I will mention later. Now without further delay, my casting.. with Pictures..



Connor MacLeod- Thomas Jane





Brenda Wyatt- Eva Green





The Kurgan- Robert Knepper





Ramirez- Liam Neesan





Heather- Elisha Cuthbert



What reboot wouldnt be complete without honoring people from teh original? Yes I know Duncan wasn't in the original, but hey he is a big part of the franchise. And these roles fit them well.

Angus Macleod- Christopher Lambert (guest appearance)

Dugal Macleod – Adrian Paul (guest appearance)







Casting Call Purpose.

I have a fairly wide variety of actor Knowledge and movie knowledge. And in the past I have done Casting Calls for peoples roleplaying games, comic books and other things. Just in more of a private Forum. However here, I will be doing "Casting Calls" for people in a public venue. People are free to make suggestions also. Anywhere from Movie remakes, to comic books, to anything you can really think of. Well as long as I can do some research so I knwo what to base my decisions off of.

The First One, The Highlander Remake. Curently the Writers of Iron Man are working on a Remake of the Original Highlander Movie. So I figured I would cast it as my first test run on this Blog.

Enjoy.
