Thanks for posting this! I had heard rumblings about this Highlander offering, but never knew when and where (tv/theater) it was going to be showing. This is great!

They didn’t do a good job of promoting it… In fact, they didn’t promote it AT ALL.
I would have missed it too, if I didn’t read the article on SciFiWire!

I must be the only person I know who’s only ever seen the first movie (and parts of the series). After hearing about the second movie I couldn’t bring myself to follow anything more.

My friend, aspiring romance author and actress Ruth Kaufman, is in this! She filmed in Lithuania two years ago! Our whole chapter in Chicago North is excited for this one.

Carrie – Wow, that is very cool! What role does she play?

Heather – It’s starring Adrian Paul, more like the tv show than the original movies. And the man is gorgeous. I’d watch anything he’s in!

Oh yeah, Adrian still got IT! But the preveiw looks like a lot of chit-chat and not much action, but I haven’t actually seen it yet.

He’s just too good looking… *sigh* I wish I had cable…

Katie – I’m sure it’ll go to DVD before long…

I was unaware this was still going.

I loved the original movie but missed the entire series. I worked at a theatre at the time and missed all prime time programming. But this seems to have interesting backstory stuff.

This was one series I never actually got into. My husband loved the first 2 movies. I didn’t even know there was another movie!!

Sooo looking forward to this.

I watched it and it isn’t as good as endgame, it lacks something that the previous installments had.

I LOVE highlander (and adrian paul) but my response to this movie (the leaked version) was hysterical laughter followed by depression. Oh how the mighty have fallen. I’m still afraid to watch the supposedly recut version that aired on saturday.

I went to Lithuania to be a featured extra in The Source. I’m a homeless washerwoman, there’s a 2 second shot just of me about 11 minutes in. I spent two nights on the set, got to meet AP, the director and others in the cast. For anyone interested, my set journal is posted at http://www.highlanderworldwide.com/thesource/ruthreport.shtml...

I’m going to try to get around to watching it this weekend…
Ruth – Very cool! I’ll definitely keep my eye out for you when I watch!

The film was OK. I was very disappointed that the theme song Princess of the Universe that is done by Queen and is in almost all the highlander movies and TV series is done by somebody else! Its not even close. That made me mad. I agree with the others on this forum, it jumps all over. The ending was bad too. I wish I could have written the story.

Shaun – After finally watching it this weekend, those were my major complaints as well. I had to fast forward during the butchering of the Queen theme song.

The movie was terrible. I think they have ruined the series. It is easily as bad as Highlander II. They left themselves nowhere to go with this franchise. It had to go direct to TV as only a small group would have paid to see this movie. It saddens me that someone didnt realize the script and plot were weak and save it. I seriously thought they could improve on Endgame but they really blew it.
