After seemingly falling off the face of the planet, the Highlander reboot starring Henry Cavill is reportedly back to life and plowing full steam ahead. I’m going to be upfront, you’re reading about this right now because there is a surprisingly massive amount of interest in this project. I try to gauge these headlines by what has the most juice/hasn’t already been hit, and somehow, it’s this? Most likely because of Cavill, but possibly because everyone wants to hear that absolutely slamming Queen song again. And it better have that song, or we goddamn riot. You hear me, Cavill?!
