I&#39;m hearing that filming of the new Highlander movie is on-going. Locations including Eilean Donan and Isle of Skye. Extras being paid £100 per 2 hours. I will be interested to see what they do with this Highlander reboot. Rumour is that they are re-using the Queen soundtrack, which is probably a good thing. I&#39;m not sure how Henry Cavill and Russell Crowe will cope in the iconic Christopher Lambert and Sean Connery roles (respectively). We&#39;ll see. #movies #films #Highlands #Scotland #music

Russell Crowe has been spotted shopping in one of the local supermarkets. It isn't true that when he was told the checkout had closed, he replied: "And I will have my vengeance, in this life or the next." 😂 #films #movies #Highlands #Scotland

@fitheach@mstdn.io It can't be as bad as Highlander II

@fitheach@mstdn.io oh interesting. But I'm still waiting for a Sean Connery reboot…

@fitheach@mstdn.io I like them both, so i am carefully optimistic. (oh, and Karen Gillan 👍)

@fitheach@mstdn.io Same music, similar costumes–is this the Gus Van Sant Psycho with s-words?

@fitheach@mstdn.io The cast looks good - I think Henry Cavill will be a good Connor and I'm guessing Russell Crowe will do a better Spanish accent than Connery. And it has Karen Gillan and Dave Bautista as Kurgan. It sounds promising.
