First off I should say much of the story should stay pretty much the same..
So I am not going to waste time making up a new one.
Also, This isn't going to be long as I am just casting the principal cast..

Connor MacLeod - James Purefoy



He is the perfect man for Connor. He looks just like him , he is a good actor, and he is no stranger to swordplay, as he has to use one in almost every one of his movies..

Victor Kruger/The Kurgan - Kevin Durand


At 6'6 Kevin Durand is a few inches taller than Clancy Brown, so he will bring even more dread to a character that is supposed to be frightening in stature, and in nature...

Brenda J. Wyatt - Rachel Mcadams


A slight resemblance is all you need here, Rachel has proved she has acting chops, and I think she is perfect for the forensics expert who discovers the world of immortals by finding a shard of Connors sword.

Juan Sanchez Villa-Lobos Ramirez - Antonio Banderas


Sean Connery is a legend, but A lot of people had complaints about him playing a Spaniard with a Scottish accent.
For the role of Connor's Spanish trainer in all things immortal, noone is more perfect than Antonio Banderas IMO..


Heather MacLeod - Kelly MacDonald

We all remember Connor's first love, and the reason he hates being immortal, because he was doomed to watch her grow old and die, while he stays young. She should for sure have just important role in this movie also....As Heather's maiden is also MacDonald.. To me it is fate that Scottish actress Kelly MacDonald should play her...


That's it..Tell me what you think in the usual place below..

Wicked Stuff!

Purefoy would be fitting.

Kevin is perfect for KURGAN!

Very nice, but I'd prefer Michael Fassbender for Connor and Liev Schreiber for the Kurgan.

Perfect! I love it!;)

My choice as Kurgan would have been Mads Mikkelsen (If you have seen him in Valhalla Rising you understand why).
But Kevin Durand is awesome choice! He would play well in the funny parts too!:)

I always thought that Thomas Jane would have been a great Connor because him and Christopher Lambert kind of look alike nut I like your pick too plus he is younger so that works. The rest of you cast is brilliant and spot on. Great job.

You know, one of my pet peeves is when ppl say "i would of cast this person- that person...woo woo woo"

Not saying ive never done it but after a while its just over the top

Please let the OP be the OP

Or go make your own cast ... Sheesh

Anyways i really liked your cast! Spot on! This would actually be a great break out role for Antonio... Especially since he hasnt done anything huge in a while
Great job
