If only they'd throw in some Queen tracks by Boondock Devil	Apr 30th, 2007 06:09:18 AM
Still interested in seeing this if only because I'm a big fan of Kawajiri's films. It'd be a nice bonus to have an entertaining Highlander movie to go with it.
Needs a restart by Dazzler69	Apr 30th, 2007 06:27:58 AM
For this line I would just start from the begining. It's got too much crap from the other movies and tv show. Make some new rules for the final "one".
You need images? Here's the trailer! by godoffireinhell	Apr 30th, 2007 07:22:40 AM

1st one needs the Casino Royale treatment by SpencerTrilby	Apr 30th, 2007 07:37:42 AM
The 1st Highlander needs a reboot/remake/whatever-you-nam e-it much more than Escape From NY. Go with a serious remake of the first with a better casting and the timeless Queen soundtrack, and you've got a winner. As for this anime, the english-dubbed preview posted a few months back was weaker than weak, but I'll give it a chance because of Kawajiri.
Look guys, the truth is by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 30th, 2007 08:07:31 AM
Highland was great, but never recovered from Higlander II, the movie which "just didn't happen" it doesn't exist, okay. The series did well, but no one wants to keep pretending that the continuity errors don't screw this series royally. Without a real explanation as to why there can be more immortals after the first movie, the rest of the films and or series, while mildly entertaining are crap. There was one, then there were more? This is just like the big bang theory. First there was nothing, then something went bang, but we don't know where the something from nothing came from. It just happened. Accept it. Oh puhleeez.
But on the bright side by Grammaton Cleric Binks	Apr 30th, 2007 08:09:19 AM
Clancy Brown is back. Viking as a viking vs. Karl Urban. Now that's a fight I want to pay money to see. As a matter of fact if they ever do a re-make, re-imagining or prequel, get Urban or else.
Can we please get some decent accents? by OneintenMan	Apr 30th, 2007 08:28:16 AM
The Scottish accents in the trailer are ridiculous at best and offensive at worst.
jap animation fad fading by Undead03	Apr 30th, 2007 08:52:27 AM
and it's about time...this immature crap goes ON and ON and ON with little comprehension or connecdtion with an audience who's more interested in CHARACTER and STORY than plot and occasionally competent graphics. How about some good STORYTELLING?

Double entendre headlines and specky gits unite! Or not. Whatever.
reenforces low brow "mature" tradition? by Neo Zeed	Apr 30th, 2007 12:34:03 PM
I believe anime has successfully changed it's "mature" image a long time ago. Hooray for 14 year old girls and soccer moms everywhere! But seriously, it's time to bring back the violent action stuff. Why put a disclaimer that this should fund more "artisicallly" minded films. If anything, action needs the support.
Trailer looks pretty good by EdRyder	Apr 30th, 2007 06:45:43 PM
Plenty of places taking preorders for this..After seeing the trailer, Il be checking it out
christopher lambert... by phallix trebek	Apr 30th, 2007 11:15:06 PM
is crying cos he didnt get a phone call...although he does have the next mortal kombat sequel to look forward to
Wow Undead03 by Johnno	Apr 30th, 2007 11:28:44 PM
Way to summarize all jap animation as being the equivalent of this highlander film. Ignorance FTW! I believe there are some other character driven cartoons with more animals to be due in theatres soon. Go watch those. I'm sure there'll be comedy in spades. Not just good characters... but the same good characters over and over again in new shapes and forms. There's no reason to change those winning formuls! Enjoy!
It wont suck. by Supervillain Outcast	May 1st, 2007 12:28:43 AM
It's very similar to Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust -- think even produced/drawn by that same team, and I loved that anime movie (and the original.) Immortals? Totalitarian society? Killer robots? Looks fun.
