Production Resumes After Injury Delay

Filming for Highlander was put on hold late last year when Henry Cavill was injured while preparing for the physically challenging role.

Filming has resumed, and the initial photos show a dark, visually striking style for this fantasy-action project.

Henry Cavill has been set to lead the film for a while, and Chad Stahelski, known for directing the John Wick movies, will be directing with his trademark action-packed approach.

All-Star Cast Joins Cavill

Russell Crowe, Karen Gillan, Djimon Hounsou, Dave Bautista, Marisa Abela, and Max Zhang also appear in the film.

So, Michael Finch did the final work on the screenplay, but it wasn’t a solo effort. Ryan J. Condal and Kerry Williamson had a hand in earlier versions, laying some of the groundwork before Finch came on board. It’s always interesting to see how a script evolves with different writers, you know?
