Pacific Highlander

Source - New Highlander Movie

Some time soon we’ll be hearing about the cinema release of Highlander: The Source, the first in a new trilogy of films featuring Duncan Macleod, the immortal Highlander, and his friends as they search for the holy grail of their world.

Here’s the promo from the official movie site:

The world is falling into chaos. As he roams a crumbling city, Duncan MacLeod, the Highlander, remembers happier times before the love of his life left…
Hopeless and alone, MacLeod finds his way to a band of immortal companions, including his mysterious friend Methos, and a mortal, Watcher Joe Dawson. Together this small group sets out on a quest to find the origin of the first Immortal and The Source of their immortality.

Shooting for the film begain in Lithuania in October and finished in December. Director is Brett Leonard, with Adrian Paul starring as Duncan MacLeod as well as producing. Brett pioneered the creation of digital visual effects in filmmaking with 1992’s Lawnmower Man. He also directed 1995’s Virtuosity, and most recently completed Marvel’s Man-Thing.

Davis-Panzer Productions is busy further immortalizing the Clan MacLeod during the series’ twentieth year with an anime feature film in partnership with Imagi of Hong Kong and Madhouse of Japan and a video game with SCI Games Ltd. of London. David Abramowitz, writer from the TV series, is writing the script.

Adrian Paul’s Diary - straight from The Source - has details on the shooting of the movie. Highlander Worldwide, the official Highlander fan club, has photographs from the shoot.
