Let’s start this off with the one question that matters. Why? I have no idea why this is even an option.

So Summit Entertainment is working on what they called a re-imagining of the classic movie Highlander. They claim they want to expand on the original Highlanders mythology.I don’t see why any expansion is necessary for the film, but what do I know I’m not sitting in on these brainstorming sessions.

The thing that really bothers me is that Summit has hired Melissa Rosenberg to write the screenplay for the remake. Although she has written for The Outer Limits, Hercules:The Legendary Journeys and Dexter she is also the writer for all of the Twilight screenplays. Now some people were saying that this might be a good thing because she’s good at dealing with immortal characters. The problem with that is the characters of Twilight are far off from the characters that live in the Highlander universe. Now it’s being said that she should be given a chance because she knows how to combine romance and action and she is used to the immortal character. To be honest though Twilight isn’t a great franchise realistically. I mean sure it has a large fan base but it’s a very certain fan base. Maybe I’m just being bias to her because I dislike Twilight.

Do I think she can do it? I guess only time will tell. Do I think they should continue with this remake? No.
