Summit’s attempt to mount a new version of 1986’s action fantasy Highlander has been through the development wringer, with multiple script drafts and several directors attached before dropping off. The studio is hoping to give the film a kick up the casting chain, eyeing Tom Cruise to take over the mentor role originally played by Sean Connery . Don’t expect to see Cruise practising a Scots brogue any time soon, though: according to The Wrap’s sources, this is still merely wishful thinking on Summit’s part, and Cruise is the sort of big name that everyone approaches first anyway. Still, it could be an interesting development if he decides he’s up for it, guiding whoever takes over as main man Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert in the original films) through his battle to become the lone immortal stalking the Earth. Or whatever variant on the story current director Cedric Nicolas-Troyan has come up with from the script by Art Marcum, Matt Holloway and Melissa Rosenberg. Cruise h...

Here's why a 50-year lawsuit settled this week is important news for James Bond fans. By: MattInRC In Hollywood as in life, all things come around. For fans of James Bond , that time is now. On Friday, we learned that MGM had finally bought the rights to two key Bond baddies: Ernst Stavro Blofeld and SPECTRE , ending a nearly 50-year lawsuit between MGM and creator Kevin McClory . In 1958, he was the man who came up with the shadowy S pecial Executive for Counter-intelligence, Terrorism, Revenge, and Extortion organization , which was first featured in 1962's Dr. No . Its bald dictator arrived in 1963's From Russia With Love , with Blofeld later portrayed by the likes of D onald Pleasence and Max von Sydow . It was McClory , not Ian Fleming , who came up with these characters, giving Actor Sean Connery and others a first class antagonist to battle through several films. This left an indelible impression on moviegoers and filmmakers: from Darth Vader to the campy D...

Sean Connery's Outland Getting a remake By Warner Brothers Looks like another 80's Movie that is going to get a remake. The Original movie was about Marshal W.T. O'Niel is assigned to a mining colony on Io, one of Jupiter's moons. During his tenure miners are dying - usually violently. When the marshal investigates he discovers the one thing all the deaths have in common is a lethal amphetamine-type drug, which allows the miners to work continuously for days at a time until they become "burned out" and expire. O'Niel follows the trail of the dealers, which leads to the man overseeing the colony. Now O'Niel must watch his back at every turn, as those who seek to protect their income begin targeting him. We have a soft spot in our hearts for Outland, the 1981 Sean Connery outer-space western loosely modeled on High Noon, so it comes as good news that Warner Brothers and Hollywood Gang Productions are developing a remake. Shoot 'Em Up director Michae...
