As locals, we are being asked to apply as film extras for a "Huge new feature film". There are scant details but it appears The filming of Henry Cavill-starrer ‘Highlander’ will start in Scotland, Italy, and Hong Kong in May 2025. Based on the 1986 movie of the same name, the movie revolves around Connor MacLeod, an immortal from the Highlands of Scotland who has been alive since the 1500s and now lives in plain sight as the head of a charitable foundation in New York. He was killed back in the day but somehow got revived to live a full life with his wife, Heather.
As the narrative progresses, Ramirez approaches MacLeod with the talk of the former’s immortal nature and destiny, only for the Highlander to refuse to abandon Heather until her death by natural causes. After Heather’s demise, without ceasing to miss her, MacLeod looks Ramirez up and learns about their powers, their place as warriors, and their destiny to battle amongst themselves until only one remains. MacLeod has lived many lives over the centuries and counted Ramirez as his companion along the journey, as well as fellow immortal Castegir.
MacLeod and Ramirez’s saga takes a turn when Kurgan is out to claim supremacy. In the past, MacLeod bested Kurgan, buried him under tons of rocks, and told the others he was dead. But now, Kurgan has surfaced again and is out for blood. FBI agent Lara suspects MacLeod when people start turning up dead, but he evades her until she witnesses herself that those like him and Kurgan cannot be killed except by one another. MacLeod is eventually found by Castegir, who tries to get him to join forces against Kurgan, but Castegir is after power himself, forcing the former to fight him as well.
Chad Stahelski, who helmed all four ‘John Wick’ films, is directing the movie based on a screenplay by Mike Finch, who previously collaborated with the filmmaker for ‘John Wick: Chapter 4.’
Stahelski suggested that the reboot could mark the birth of a franchise. “I think we have some very good elements now. The trick is when you have the tagline ‘there can only be one,’ you can’t just kill everybody the first time.
We had a guy stay with us at our B&B late last year. His whole car was full of movie camera gear, and he set off for a day to research scenes at Sanna Bay, supposedly filming for a property developer, which sounded rather unlikely to us. Is the beauty, peace and tranquility of Sanna Bay about to be destroyed in the next Highlander movie? It will be interesting to see, as many of the scenes in the original Highlander movie were filmed around Loch Shiel.....and Skye.
Funnily enough I was on the beach down by Castle Tioram. There was a young local Mum down there with her toddler. He was dressed in tiny well boots with a one piece weather proof zip up suit. As we threw sticks for the dogs to collect from the water we didn't notice the toddler had waded off into the water behind us and was waist deep and half way across to the castle on it's islet. "Connor!" the woman shouted in horror. Her surname McLeod. Did I get that right. Little Connor McLeod, the boy Highlander assuming he would live forever wading out into the depths? Perhaps he thought I was Kurgan.
What part should I ask the Casting Collective for? Bullshitter isn't available
Actually, the photo is of "The Highlander" memorial at Glenfinnan
