Christopher Lambert in Highlander

Lambert explained, “First of all, I think he's a really good actor. On top of it, he's somebody sensitive. If I was the producer or the director, I would go as far as possible away from the original Highlander to try to create a new "original" Highlander . I am talking about the script. Because the combination of what Highlander was about, plus Queen's music, was unbelievable.”

He added, “So I don't think a remake would work … I think a good one would be Man On Fire , which was directed by Elie Chouraqui - a French director - and then re-made (in 2004) by Tony Scott. It wasn't a "remake" of the movie. It was a new Man On Fire. And that's exactly what I would do with Highlander.”

Ryan Reynolds set to play the new Highlander

Christopher continued, “You cannot duplicate something, no matter how big it could be. You cannot duplicate The Killer from John Woo; you cannot duplicate Once Upon A Time In The West by Sergio Leone . You can re-do something, but don't try and copy.”
