You are Guinness. You are brooding, bitter, and often in a dark, pensive mood. You are an intellectual and a dreamer, but your passion and emotions can sometimes get the better of you.

If they rebooted the franchise. Part 1.
I was thinking the other day, the new trend in movies right now is to take movies that have had success in the past that have fallen on hard times and "Reboot" the franchise. Batman Begins, Superman Returns and Rob Zombies Halloween just to name a few. So I started to think about what movies I love that I would like to see rebooted and who I would cast in the roles. So occasionally I will be posting my ideas for reboots. Hope you enjoy and please feel free to join in.
Movie #1
Highlander: 
This is one of my all time favorite movies. I love the original and the subsequent television series that followed. Unfortunately just about every one of the sequels has sucked hardcore. The only one that was and still is watchable is Endgame and that is only because of Adrian Paul, who is a far better actor and more believable Scotsman than Christopher Lambert. So if I were to remake this movie this is who I would use.
Connor MacLeod: Gerrard Butler: The guy is a phenomenal actor plus he is a full blooded Scot.
Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez: This is the role immortalized by Sean Connery. So when thinking of an actor who has not only the chops but the obvious sex appeal to follow that legend only one actor springs to mind. Antonio Banderas
The Kurgan: The main antagonist. This role was beautifully crafted by Clancy Brown. He has a very distinctive bass voice so the only man who could play this part in my mind in Tony Todd aka The Candyman.
Brenda Wyatt: This one was tough because the character of Brenda is one of the few that I have always felt was underdeveloped but I think I would have to pair Mr. Butler with his 300 co-star Lena Heady. She is not only beautiful but a very strong and talented actress.
Heather MacLeod: I believe that Kate Winslet would be a great Heather. Not only is she talented she has a certain gravitas about her that Heather would need to have.
As for the rest of the cast it is really only small bit parts so they could be filled with just about anyone. One thing I would do however is write in an appearance for Duncan MacLeod so that Adrian Paul could have a cameo but that is just me.
Anyway I know that I am the biggest dork of all time but I don't care. This is what I've chosen to write about today. I hope you have enjoyed this post and there will be more to follow. Feel free to join in the discussion.
