Oscar winner Russell Crowe ("Gladiator", "Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World") has signed on to star in the upcoming "Highlander" remake. The film stars Henry Cavill in the lead role, and Crowe will embody the mentor role played by Sean Connery in the 1986 original film.
The remake is directed by Chad Stahelski ("John Wick") from a script by Michael Finch ("John Wick: Chapter 4"), and it's produced by Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists. The latter has secured full rights to the 1986 original, which Lionsgate developed, with potential to also develop a new series.
UA's Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt will produce "Highlander" alongside Neal H. Moritz, 87Eleven Entertainment, Stahelski's production banner, Josh Davis of Davis Panzer Productions, and Louise Rosner.
Crowe is also set to star as Hermann Göring, one of the most powerful figures in the Nazi Party, in James Vanderbilt's "Nuremberg", and he recently finished work on Netflix's Unabomber biopic "Unabom", the Cold War thriller "Billion Dollar Spy", and the action thriller "Bear Country".
