So, apparently, Superman himself, Henry Cavill, got a boo-boo while playing with swords ⚔️ and kilts in preparation for the *long-awaited* (by whom, exactly?) reboot of Highlander. As a result, they’re pushing production back to next year. Because, you know, one scratch and it’s all over. Priorities, people!
Deadline (because who else would break this earth-shattering news?) reported that “Henry Cavill was injured during pre-production while training.” Training for what? Running around in circles? Practicing his dramatic stares? They didn’t specify. Maybe he stubbed his toe on a rogue broadsword? The suspense is killing me! 😫
This cinematic masterpiece (in the making) has been kicking around Hollywood for ages, like a forgotten haggis. Now, apparently, the guy who directed *John Wick* (Chad Stahelski, if you care) is at the helm. Because what *Highlander* really needed was more gun-fu, right? Following Cavill’s “injury,” Deadline (again!) says shooting won’t start until “likely top of next year.” So, mark your calendars, folks! Or don’t. I won’t judge. 🗓️
In addition to Cavill, this reboot (of a franchise that should probably stay buried) will feature Russell Crowe (probably phoning it in), Karen Gillan (who deserves better), Djimon Hounsou (another paycheck), and Dave Batista (because every movie needs a muscle-bound guy, right?). 🙄
The original *Highlander*, released in 1986, was a cinematic stroke of… something. Let’s call it “ambition.” It spawned a franchise based on immortal dudes chopping each other’s heads off to gain power. Because, you know, that’s totally plausible. They’re not formally called Highlanders, but who cares about accuracy when you have swords and bad accents? 🤷
The whole point of the first movie was that there could be only one. And then they made four sequels and multiple TV series. Logic? What’s logic? 🤷♀️ The first sequel, *Highlander II: The Quickening*, is widely regarded as one of the worst movies ever made. Which is impressive, considering the competition. How do you mess up immortal sword fighters *even more*? They found a way! 🤣
Rumors of a new *Highlander* movie have been swirling since, like, forever. Directors came and went, actors were attached and then unattached. Henry Cavill was supposedly involved way back in 2021. So, it’s been five years of waiting for… this? Maybe he’s just trying to pad his resume with another franchise attempt. 🤔
The *Highlander* reboot doesn’t have a release date. And honestly, at this point, does anyone even care? Let the past die. Kill it, if you have to. Unless, of course, they plan to make *Highlander* cinematic universe! Now, that would be something… or maybe not. 🤦
Finn McFrame, celebrated satirical mastermind and self-proclaimed “Emperor of Irony,” started his illustrious career as a cinematographer, where his expertise in capturing every single frame of a squirrel stealing a baguette earned him accolades at obscure film festivals.
Born in the glamorous town of Boring, Oregon, Finn grew up with dreams of being a Hollywood director until he realized that satire, not cinema, was his true calling—or at least the one that let him sleep until noon.
