Rumor -- New Movie - Page 4 - Science Fiction Fantasy Chronicles: forums

They could have avoided the discrepancies by simply not killing Connor off. They can set a Highlander movie for any time period. All they have to do is avoid the last imortal issue.

sigh - big fat potential spoiler for this 'potential' movie -

(i posted this in the HL Series section too)

I heard that in the next movie, Methos is supposed to be the next to go - bad bad bad bad BAD move!

Diamond9697 · 4th April 2002, 01:52 AM

okay that's it...I'm boycotting that movie

Dru · 4th April 2002, 04:10 AM

Oh bad! Bad bad bad bad bad bad!

Highlander II · 4th April 2002, 03:28 PM

i told you it was bad --

trust me - if i find out that rumour's true - i'll boycott that movie for sure!

ARGH! NO! IS DPP CRAZY????

Petition time, people.

Highlander II · 5th April 2002, 07:40 PM

um - yes those at DPP must be crazy -

and while petitions are fine --

we might wanna make sure they're actually gonna make the movie ---

last release date i saw was 2003 - and it even listed some of the actors' names wrong <sigh> --

so - lemme dig around and see if there's any more on this ---

Highlander II · 5th April 2002, 08:00 PM

more news on the movie ---
(from http://movies.go.com/movies/H/highla...hesource_2002/ )

this is mostly rumor and unconfirmed reports and such - but read and see ---

Timothy Dalton (ick) is supposedly being cast as the villain

they're talking to Sean Connery to reprise Ramirez (again - geez, can't the guy just die in peace?)

and Christopher Lambert is returning as Connor MacLeod (Note that on the site, they spelled his name wrong - McCloud - he's not a puffy white thing in the sky ppl!)

and - there's a possibility that Roger Daltry may show up - guess we'll see more Fitz flashbacks -

oh - and the biggie! "The Source" is set to take place BEFORE Endgame

didn't they try that before and totally screw things up? <sigh>

no mention, in this bit, about Peter Wingfield, Jim Byrnes, or Elizabeth Gracen ---

so - if this is supposed to take place before Endgame - guess that spoiler is kinda moot ---

more of that 'wait and see' --

DarkCity545 · 8th April 2002, 04:17 AM

oh great another one to make us mad as ever :evil:

ok they blew highlander 2 by having the immortals as aliens

they blew the third one by blowing the time line

then came endgame :evil: :evil: :evil:

so is "the source" going to put every thing back in perspective? will it follow the correct time line in joining the series and the first movie? they can't do that because connor won the prize!

and if they kill methos i know a lot of ppl will be :evil:

Highlander II · 8th April 2002, 04:01 PM

(added a spoiler to your post, b/c you kinda listed what was in the spoiler from above - can't have that now, can we?

)

and no - they won't fix the timeline or put the canon back or 'not screw up' - why? b/c that's not the way Panzer works - he just has some idiot who's never seen Highlander write a movie, he says, 'hey that's got some action and Duncan's in the middle of all of it, and he doesn't die, so, yeah, that'll be a good film!'

but - the fans say, "But, Mr. Panzer, sir, what about the series? and the 1st three movies? Well, and Endgame, even tho it sucked. And all the canon and characterization?"

to which he would respond (if at all)- "Bah, we don't need any of that stuff - Duncan MacLeod is in the movie, that is enough for the fans."

Fans: "But, we like Methos, and Joe, and Amanda, and we like canon, and characterization....etc."

Panzer: "Bah, we have Adrian Paul, god of all film, and he will be Duncan MacLeod - the only character anyone pays attention to anyway, we need no more. We don't even need Duncan to stay in character, b/c no one will care! They will pay their money and watch the movie and make me rich! Bwahahaha! :evil:"

Fans: "But we DID care and notice in Endgame! It sucked! What does it take to get you to see that?"

Panzer: "But, you paid to see the movie anyway! You saw it! You paid money! And Duncan MacLeod was in it!"

Fans: "Forget it, we give up. We'll just go write fic and pretend you and your stupid movie ideas don't exist."

Fans leave Panzer standing alone raving about the greatness of Duncan MacLeod, heading off to write fic where Connor never died and Richie lives on, and Duncan still acts like Duncan and Methos and Joe play prominent and purposeful roles in the storylines like the should.........

(note, Bill Panzer was not harmed in the making of this parodic conversation)

Denial is good. Denial is why we have TIKLE. We will stay in denial untill the ppl who make the shows get brains.

Highlander II · 9th April 2002, 03:41 AM

wow - we are gonna be in denial for a VERY long time -

Diamond9697 · 9th April 2002, 06:51 AM

I've been in denial about various aspects of various shows and books for as long as I can remember...what's a little more

Highlander II · 9th April 2002, 03:29 PM

honestly - i'd rather not have to be in denial about anything - it kinda ruins the show --

but -alas, we are left w/ what the producers and writers give us -
