        If I were casting the movie I'd be looking at either Gerard Butler or Clive Owen.

        Either of those would suit me ell. Or if they could get him, the new bond (Daniel Craig).

        As for

        Yes Lambert may not have been the best choice, but he did a damn good job.

        As for Ramirez, I'd say it might be wise to go for someone who actually comes across as Spanish........ one thing I will say about the original film is that you know you have a problem when the Highlander sounds like he's from the continent and his "spanish" trainer sounds like he should be the title role. That said I still like Chris Lambert in that film.
        Hows bout Antonio Banderass? He can do the sword play (as we saw in the Zorro films).. Speaks with a spanish accent.

          Antonio Banderass would make a great Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramírez!!

            Ramirez was actually Egyptian so someone who can play a convincing middle eastern person would be great. The first actor who came to my mind was Oded Fehr, he was pretty good in the mummy movies.

              True. However, Sean Connery doesn't look Egyptian and did an great job as Ramirez in the original movie. If memory serves Ramirez was working for the King of Spain when he found Conner so someone who could pass himself off as Spanish would work just fine, IMHO.

              Having just looked at Oded Fehr's IMBD page, I like his work and would be happy if he got the role.

                    Seems like this movie isn't going anywhere, Ryan Reynolds is out and there is no director attached.

                      Can't say I am sad to hear this. Some films shouldn't be remade, and if they are struggling this much to get it done, more proof they should leave it alone.

                          Christopher Lambert made the best movie Highlander.
                          Adrian Paul as the TV show Highlander , was, well........AWESOME
                          Can't imagine anyone reprising the roles.

                              The three actors that I would be happy to see in the role are:

                              Gerard Butler
                              Clive Owen
                              Ewan McGregor

                              If they are going to reboot the franchise then one of those actors would make me want to see the movie. On the whole though I think that this is a property that doesn't need a reboot. The original movie is still very good and is simply too treasured by its fans which means the reboot will face a massive hurtle to overcome.
