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
"I think anyone would agree that Christopher Lambert was not the best choice in the first place, and Ryan Reynolds is probably an even worse choice."
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.I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!
Did you not say it is played on ice, O'Neill?

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.

Having just looked at Oded Fehr's IMBD page, I like his work and would be happy if he got the role.Last edited by mandogater; 01 November 2012, 04:13 PM.I tell you Teal'c, hockey is the coolest game on Earth!

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

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.
