I’m excited to see what the combination of Chad Stahelski’s direction and Ryan Condal’s script can do for the Highlander franchise, which feels like it has never truly lived up to its potential.
The Highlander mythology is ripe for a serious take, and we don’t get nearly enough sword-fighting in movies.
So with Stahelski’s slick action paired with a great script, this reboot has the potential to really elevate this franchise above its origins.
Ryan Condal’s show Colony is a complex family drama that serves as a compelling allegory to issues of terrorism and occupation, and Chad Stahelski has previously spoken about this being John Wick with swords.
