    I love Cavill, unfortunately his products have a terrible track record.

    Unfortunately there is now way this will be worth it. Highlander was great because it had a Frenchman playing a Scott, a Scott playing a Spaniard and Clancy Brown playing one of the greatest villains of all time all set to Queen’s awesome soundtrack.

    Every attempt since at this material has been utter dogshit.

      C’mon, the show was peak 90’s syndication TV. Highlander, Xena, Forever Knight, Brisco County, the golden age of flipping through channels and stopping when you see one.

        “The show”!? While I enjoyed both, I was sure they were referring to the legendary movies!

      Holy shit… I never realised that was Clancy Brown, I got his old face so ingrained as an actor I never made the connection!

        I find it a bit ironic that you recognize his face. To me I recognize his voice. Once I hear that deep rich voice I know Clancy Brown is in it.

          He does a lot of cartoon voice acting and that’s how i recognize Mr Krabs, too.

          In this case it is probably because I saw that movie in my teens. I live in a country where movies are dubbed, so I never even heard his voice until much much later.

        I was so enthralled with the superb charter he’d pkayed at the time, I noted who it was and followed him in many of his productions since.

        To me his character and the soundtrack are the glue that made the movie. It wasnt until No Country for Old Men and Javier Badem’s character that I thought id seen an equally “good” bad guy

        A head which at this time has no name. “I know his name!”
