They don’t even need to use those characters. Although the mentor/Ramirez is important. He doesn’t necessarily need to be a much older actor. They don’t age….remember?

The interesting thing that the tv show brought out is that you can create a large and interesting universe for these characters. I hope they don’t necessarily end it with Connor becoming the last immortal.

Another movie I won’t be seeing. They screwed up the original with sequels, and now they are going to screw it up some more with a remake.

I just don’t see Ryan Reynolds as being gritty enough to pull this off. I just can’t look at his face and see a guy who could cut someone’s head off.

I’m not sure how you continue the series without a reboot. Connor died in HL4 & there’s just no coming back from “The source” aka the worst piece of crap ever put on film.

I think they should have picked someone else. There are a lot of great Scottish actors out there.

i would rather see colin ferrell than ryan reynolds, or least adrain paul from the tv series in the lead role. the fact that one of the writers from the twilight movies is on this project makes me think this is going to suck bigtime.

Would some one please kill Ryan Reynolds so he’d stop getting these roles.

Two equally important questions:
1) Who will pay the Kurgan? Clancy Brown owned that role, physically as well as vocally, and I can’t think of any actors right now who could o the part justice. Gerard Butler, maybe.

2) Who plays Ramirez? Connery practically carried his scenes, and he was the only thing that raised “The Quckening” to the level of sh*t. Ian McKellen, maybe, or Michael Fassbinder if he were about 20 years older

WHY??? With so many new, good and fun ideas out there, does Hollywood have to continually do nothing but make ‘remakes’. The first movie was great, the rest sucked worse and worse and worse. The TV series started out strong, then slowly turned to trash. We don’t need a ‘re-boot’… we need some NEW ideas and stories!! But I guess that’s just too big of a chance to take for the tightwad executives in Hollywood to even consider.
