SW:
I just found this out because I got so tired of seeing Sandy news that I just cut off the news for 3 days.
I can say I am shocked. But then again, it's hard to turn down $4 Billion. I guess Lucas thought he was getting too old and it was time to pass the torch. Now I hear they are going to make antoher trilogy with new actors playing the old characters.
Honestly I think SW is just going to go downhill. Not that is wasn't already with the prequels mostly being bad.
Then again, the Star Trek reboot blew my mind with how good it was. So I guess I will just wait and see.
Highlander:
So Hollywood is going to butcher more of my childhood. Highlander, although kinda cheesy looking at it now, is still one of my favorite movies ever and a classic. And now it is getting remade with Ryan Reynolds as Connor MacCloud.
I don't care for Ryan Reynolds. He basically plays the same character in every movies. Deadpool, Green Lantern, same guy with different outfit. So not too thrilled that he is going to try and be Christopher Lambert. Now don't get me wrong. There are some great actors that play the same person every time like Chris Walken. But I like Chris Walken. He's hilarious. Ryan Reynolds, well, IMO, isn't. At least not in the way that is needed for this character or the others he has recently been.
Just let the Highlander franchise die. I mean, every single movie after the first was bad, badder, extra crispy bad, and then shoot me/end the pain bad. The TV show was good though. Any ways, please, just create something new and original instead of rehashing old stuff.
