Adrian Paul returns in new Highlander movie!


Recommended Posts

Good news, Highlander-heads! According to the Adrian Paul Newswire a new Highlander movie is coming to the Sci-Fi Channel in September. Named Highlander: The Source, it will feature the return of actor Adrian Paul as the immortal Duncan Macleod.

In this movie, the 5th since the original Highlander series ended in 1998, Duncan goes on a quest with a number of immortal and mortal friends to find the origin of the first immortal and The Source of immortality. It seems to be set in the future because, as the plot summary says, we find Macleod roaming a crumbling city as the world falls into chaos. Then again, he could be walking the streets of Camden, New Jersey for all we know.

Highlander: The Source will premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel on September 15th at 9 pm, and be re-broadcast on September 20th at the same time.

WOOHOO!

I have some serious reservations about this...

Don't get me wrong, I think Adrian Paul is a great guy (I met him a few years ago, just after he finished filming "The Breed") and he was really cool. However, he has a pretty poor history with films. "Higlander (4) Endgame" was not brilliant (but it was better than 2 & 3!). If you are a hardcore Adrian Paul fan who hasn't seen "The Breed" (a film about vampires, not Highlander related) then for the love of god, DO NOT WATCH IT!!! It is quite possibly the worst film ever made! Ever!

There's a couple of reasons why I don't hold out much hope for the new Highlander film:

1) This was originally supposed to be a cinema release, but now it's going to premiere on the Sci-Fi Channel - not a good sign...

2) I have seen an early version of it that was given to me by a friend a couple of months ago, and while it's not as bad as "The Breed", IMO it's not that great. It's not even as good as "Highlander Endgame"!

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news... And who knows, the version that gets released may be a totally different cut to the one I saw.

You saw the version I was given then I have read they have since changed it slightly but the story remains the same which isn't that good.

So they are just going to ignore Highlander 2? (Immortals from Space!)

All scores IMDB:

Highlander I got 7.1/10

Highlander II got 3.4/10

Highlander III got 3.7/10

Highlander 4 got 4.2/10

Yeah, I'd pretty much ignore Highlander 2 (and 3 and 4).

The series actually got the highest rating at 7.4/10

This movie (Highlander 5) gets 3.8/10

I personally don't really understand how the series got rated higher than the original movie. I did like the original movie. I watched the TV series because it was often the only SciFi program on at the time (desperation breeds compromise).

The series was actually rather good, but the only reason I can think of for it getting a higher rating than the original movie is even though the movie was excellent, but it has aged really badly. If someone who didn't know anything about it watched it now, they would wonder what all the fuss was about.

The music is still excellent though! :D

    • RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.
