I wonder when and where it takes place. It would be really cool if they got Lambert to voice the new Mcleod. Christopher Lambert has one of the coolest voices I've ever heard.

I've seen plugs for this on AOD. Hopefully it's good, do it some justice. I still have love for the other movies and tv series.

If they're still using the premiss I saw last year when the producers first started talking about a comic book, animated feature, and live action feature in the same year than the main characters will still be Duncan and Connor. At that time the thought was to allow a Japanese director examine the time spent in Japan learning from Japanese sword masters.

I don't know if this is how the final product went but the treatment was pretty good

I just hope the plot isn't based on the 2nd movie. I don't wanna see an animated Sean Connery stating that immortals are actually aliens... no thank you, bad enough the first time. X-x

Well, you obviously don't know the premise of this francise, and to explain WHY there are so many would just be a waste of typing space.

But, i have time, and im freaken bored, and i honestly thought this project had died by now.

There are many because there are many immortals (for some reason i never bothered to remember; i like swords).

These Immortals come from all times and places, all heading to the place of the Gathering (modern New York, if I remember). They are competing for the knowledge each immortal has and the power they gain after beheading an immortal with a sword (the only way to kill them).

I saw a commercial for this on Comcast VOD. There's also going to be a live action movie with the Adrian Paul character.

aw hell, an animated Sean Connery would be cool enough.

And I can't call it Highlander without the essential music theme from Queen.
