I don't know if the "3 New" Highlander movies were ever made, but looky who's up for a reboot!

From io9.com:

Justin Lin, the director of Fast And Furious 4, is bringing his shiny fast paced style to the hills of Scotland to recapture a franchise we all thought long dead. Apparently, it's time to reboot the Highlander.

Summit Entertainment announced that Lin will re-imagine the franchise, and coming off the impressive box office that Fast & Furious 4 had, he will most likely get a lot of leeway. But on a happier note, Iron Man scribes Matt Holloway and Art Marcum are on the script, which will focus more on the backstory of the immortals. But the real question is, can you teach someone how to work the Christopher Lambert accent?

The first Highlander is a classic... not a solid classic, but a kind of "so bad it's good they started the movie at a wrestling match in MSG" kind of good.

I don't think I'd mind seeing a quality reboot.

Or can there be only WAN?

I never saw any of the other Highlanders. I heard they were epic awful.
