The Highlander reboot by Chad Stahelski and Henry Cavill is shifting production studios, as per reports from The Hollywood Reporter, indicating that it has departed from Lionsgate.

What studio is the Highlander reboot moving to?

The report indicates that the project, which has been under development for approximately a decade, is now moving towards Amazon MGM Studios. THR states that Amazon is currently in advanced talks to purchase the project. Under the new arrangement, Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt from United Artists will oversee the film’s production at Amazon MGM Studios.

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m excitedly awaiting the upcoming Highlander movie, though details about the plot are still under wraps. Yet, Chad Stahelski hinted that it will blend aspects from both the film series and the TV show. He mentioned, “We’re aiming for a prequel to The Gathering, essentially setting up the foundation for future expansions of the franchise.

Stahelski also said Cavill’s Highlander could lead to more films and television series.

He expressed, “We’ve got plenty of concepts for fascinating characters suitable for a groundbreaking television series.” He continued, “I believe it’s a captivating mythology when you can portray any era, any nationality, any culture, any kind of individual as an immortal who must engage in duels and grapple with the weight of immortality – that’s incredibly intriguing.

In 1986, Russell Mulcahy directed a film called “The Highlander.” This film featured Christopher Lambert portraying Connor McLeod, an eternal swordsman, who must engage in combat with other apparent indestructible adversaries to protect mankind.
