Alex ZalbenHOST
Back in 1986, movie theaters were taken by storm by a fantasy flick titled Highlander, about a guy who chops off people's heads and steals their energy.
Alex ZalbenHOST
But the original screenplay by Gregory Wyden was extremely different than what was seen on screen, and now it will get an official adaptation from Titan Comics.
Alex ZalbenHOST
Written by Wyden with art by Simon Kudransky, Highlander, the original screenplay, is a four-issue series reimagining what could have been.

Aditya KashyapHOST
I've, I've, I've not, I've not seen the movie, but I think just because of, uh, I think Sean Connery or some whatever pop culture relevance of it all, I've remember seeing it somewhere.
Aditya KashyapHOST
Highlander.
Aditya KashyapHOST
Highlander.
Vineet NairHOST
Yes.
Vineet NairHOST
Yes, yes, yes.
Aditya KashyapHOST
[laughs]
Vineet NairHOST
So that is, uh, the, uh, movie series we're talking about, and it is, uh, The Forgotten Highlander, that was the book that was written by Alistair Urquhart.
Vineet NairHOST
And for those who, uh, may or may not have recognized, my impression was that of Christopher Lambert, uh, Christopher Lambert.
Zoe CunninghamGUEST
Because the last, our second AD, bless him, was absolutely beside himself.
Zoe CunninghamGUEST
He was like, James Cosmo is my absolute hero ever since Highlander.
Zoe CunninghamGUEST
I can't believe I'm working on a film with him.
Zoe CunninghamGUEST
And you have to, you know, that's, not necessarily a great experience for the person who's being like gushed over.
Jay RussoHOST
And that is so much energy just cascading through this hospital ward that it's basically just wreaking havoc.
Jay RussoHOST
And it's exactly like what happens at the end of Highlander, Sean, when the quickening overpowers Connor McCloud and he says for the final time, there can be only one.
Sean McGirrHOST
There can be only one.
Sean McGirrHOST
Can you remind me, is Connor McCloud, Connor McCloud of the Clan McCloud?

Seth AndrewsHOST

Seth AndrewsHOST
[audience cheering]
Seth AndrewsHOST
[audience cheering]A terrific 1986 movie with Christopher Lambert, Sean Connery, Clancy Brown.
Seth AndrewsHOST
Now, the gist of the film, if you're one of the three who haven't seen it- [laughs] ... which is a crime, a few select people are born immortal, and their destiny is to travel through time, assuming various identities to try to sneak through the cultures.
Seth AndrewsHOST
They battle other immortals, beheading the only way to dispatch the other, until only one remains.
Seth AndrewsHOST
When the last foe is finally defeated, as there can be only one, the Highlander gets the prize.
Seth AndrewsHOST
It is the combined power of all the immortals.
Nic BrownGUEST
We've got Halloween coming up.
Nic BrownGUEST
