Very exciting news today! I've been a fan of Highlander since I was lad. From the movies in all of their 80s, Queen slathered glory to the TV show with an actor who looked remarkably like one of my brothers. Being not shy with swords, and having a director as talented as Chad Stahelski at the helm, this is an opportunity like no other. Deep diving into franchise storytelling with all the tools at our disposal, is going to make this an adventure I (and hopefully all of you) shall never forget.
And as you can see from the swipe, I've lately been dipping into some of my Scottish heritage, and inadvertently getting my base line research underway! #Highlander
F*ck! Yeah!
Ladies, it may remind you of TW, but it’s different.

Chad Stahelski will direct the film from Amazon MGM Studios and United Artists (UA), which is being run by former Netflix film chief Scott Stuber. The film will open theatrically. Michael Finch is penning the screenplay, based on the 1980s cult classic of the same name.
UA’s Scott Stuber and Nick Nesbitt will produce alongside Neal H. Moritz, 87Eleven Entertainment, Stahelski’s production banner, Josh Davis of Davis Panzer Productions, and Louise Rosner. UA has secured full rights to the 1986 original, with the potential to also develop a new series. Lionsgate developed the film.
Abela recently won a 2025 BAFTA TV Award for her performance in the third season of the acclaimed banking drama “Industry.” This follows her turn alongside Michael Fassbender and Cate Blanchett in Steven Soderbergh’s espionage thriller, “Black Bag.” Abela previously starred as Amy Winehouse in the biographical drama “Back to Black,” which earned her a nomination for a BAFTA EE Rising Star Award.
