Ryan Reynolds drops out of Highlander reboot

The Wrap are reporting that Ryan Reynolds has dropped out of Summit Entertainments "Highlander" which seems to have been in productions for centuries.

Reynolds was meant to play Connor MacLeod, "an immortal Scottish swordsman forced to confront the Kurgan, a brutal barbarian who lusts for the fabled 'Prize.'"

Ryan Reynolds lands Highlander role

Well it looks like the rumours I've been reading for the past month or so about Reynolds landing the Highlander reboot are in fact true. Reynolds films of recent years have been very hit & miss, I mean "Safe House" was pretty good great Thriller especially because Denzel was on top for as ever but then there was "Green Lantern" and "Adventrueland" which I would use are a torture technique rather than a viewing pleasure. But, with his casting in this an the "Deadpool" film and "R.I.P.D" hopefully producers are seeing him as more of the Action star than the Rom-Com star he has been.

"We first heard of the possibility of Reynolds becoming the next member of the Clan MacLeod back in March when the Canadian actor emerged the front-runner for the coveted role. The “confirmation” comes from The Tracking Board who claim that negotiations are complete and that Reynolds has officially secured the gig."

 Role sealed, but in all honesty this doesn't mean we will be seeing "Highlander" on the big screen anytime soon. Reynolds was originally cast as Deadpool around the same time he was cast as Green Lantern an as you know Green Lantern has been out for over a year now and "Deadpool" hasn't even began pre-production.
