I mean the dude walked away from getting to play Geralt of frickin Rivia because the show wasn't true enough to the source. I think Warhammer fans are in good hands.

[@EAfirstlast]

Luckily enough 40k doesn't have a real plotline, you can do whatever really

[@Ancaruin]

@@EAfirstlast On the other hand, it's visually difficult to make. For example Astartes, may be cringe if not done properly...

[@PoorlyDrawnSmileyFace]

@@Ancaruin Luckily the best material for actual stories with characters in the setting actively avoid the Spess Mehreens. Inquisition, Rogue Traders, Arbites, Necromunda/hive gangers are all aspects that are about humans that have to navigate the rotted hellscape that is the Imperium as well as the horrors of the cosmos. Imperial Guard are probably the best option if it HAS to be about a faction in the wargame.

[@artofsam]

Would personally love to see a Space Marine movie that really goes full practical in scope not just building the suits and props but to have it be shot like it was Saving Private Ryan and really feel like you are with them in this alien hellscape could be something really special, Fury Road comes to mind as well where you could have the movie with almost no dialogue and just have it the story be told entirely through action.

[@rabbidjeremy9193]

It has huge overarching plots, but you can get there any way you want. So it really is a great opportunity for story telling.@@EAfirstlast

“So it can be faithful”. That line and that side eye was definitely aimed at the idiots that ran The Witcher.

That Highlander TV Show theme song was a banger. Queen - Princes of the Universe.

[@Electrify928]

The movie song " Who wants to live forever?" Is good too.

[@Electrify928]

Also by queen. Queen did the whole soundtrack for the movie.

[@WesterlyWilderness]

What you guys on about , princes of the universe is literally the first opening song to the movie

[@lm7_gio]

It's taken from the movie soundtrack (which is all done by Queen), but i get your point. "Who wants to live forever" playing while Duncan is watching his wife grow old and die is truly one of the most heartbreaking moments in cinema history for me

[@aliali-ce3yf]

I loved the Highlander tv show way more than the movies (which were just ok) , so the fact they're looking at the show makes me happy. I hope they bring back Adrian Paul in some capacity and the cool theme song. the show peaked by season 3-4, didn't really get started til season 2 after Tessa's death, but at its peak - so good

I loved the Highlander show with Adrian Paul. I used to look forward to watching that after school back in the 90s.

I hope (as a Warhammer fantasy fan) if the 40k stuff does well, Henry would consider playing a character like Karl Franz or even Felix Jager!

[@ryancooper3629]

I think that it is very unlikely that WHFB era will get a movie, ever. If anything it would be in the old world timeline but realistically I think they are more likely to tell more 40k stories than to do old warhammer.

@@Oberon117 Well to be fair like 20 years ago GW did hire a small production company to make one, they even revealed a pretty rough CGI trailer of a blood angels dreadnaught but it never really came to fruition. But yeah its wild that a big budget production is happening. I just hope this isn’t a disaster like the warcraft movie all over again.

[@klioseth4336]

@@ryancooper3629 I disagree, both "universes" are rich enough to fully support a suite of movies and tv shows. After the success of GoT, fantasy warhammer is one of the few established universes where you can surpass the awe of seeing dragons on screen. That being said, WH40k is a safe bet to start with. Cant go wrong with space marines!

[@ryancooper3629]

​@@klioseth4336Oh, my point was never that they weren't rich enough. My point is in the hierarchy of GW IPs WHFB is "really" low on the pecking order. The only "reason" it even would be in the conversation is Total War but expect 40k, AoS, 30k, Old World to all by wildly ahead of it. Hell even specialist stuff like Blood Bowl and Necromunda probably are well above WHFB in terms of pecking order. I just can't see GW ever looking to tell a TV show or film story around characters like Franz. Magnus the Pious, however...

[@xensonar9652]

Highlander was one of my fave movies as a kid. My fascination with the concept of immortality has endured and I am intrigued how they are going to explore it in the remake.

[@jasonsheath3294]

Check out Poul Anderson's fantastic sci fi book "Boat of a Million Years" - very similar plot down through history and into a future where immortals become exposed. One of my all time favorites. Once thought that Highlander was partially based on the book but the book came out three years after the movie.

[@Marwolaeth01]

Ooh Highlander. I mean for me, Adrian Paul will always be The Highlander (sorry Christopher Lambert). You got so much more from Duncan Macleod because it was a TV series and so you had more time to enjoy the character. I always feared that Connor was meant to be "the one" in the films and so addressing Duncan's supposed inevitable death was something I never wanted to reach, but still watched every week regardless. But listening to Henry speak about the show, and realising how much he reminds me of Josh Strife Hayes, I actually found myself excited at the prospect of it returning in some way... especially since I am hoping that when the TV show was mentioned Henry said he couldn't say too much, this means Adrian Paul will be involved in even just a small way!

[@goblinslayer7096]

Pretty sure the first meeting for Warhammer was something like, "So. The fired you because you cared too much about the source material? That's exactly what we've been waiting for."

[@akshaytrayner1960]

Great interview Henry cavil sure will nail highlander

[@iAdas]

I agree Geralt.

[@NahLife.Studio]

I was born in '75 and was around 11 years old when the original Highlander film dropped... I remember my Dad taking me to see that film at that age, and it changed my life because it felt so much like He-Man the cartoon I loved.. Christopher Lambert was so unassuming of a warrior, and played the role so convincingly... the line "LOTS OF DIFFERENT PLACES" still lingers in my mind to this day whenever people ask where I am from... Cavill was born in 1983, he would have been 3 years old at the the time Highlander the original flim launched.. but still a child born of the same era as the film. He mentions the series likely because he would have been 12 years old at the time, much like me at 11 years old, it would have impacted him more at or around that age, when the imagination met reality, where "honorable warriors" and "real men" were becoming one in the same to our young minds. Cavill has a love for good film, and rich stories with realistic fantasy character warriors.... I appreciate his connection to any film and his loyalty to the portrayal of the origins of these characters. Any thing he touches if given the freedom to run, becomes Gold and a guaranteed film I will take my son to see in a theater. Great interview this. Thank You.

[@bloodsling]

I hope there's easter eggs in the retelling with nods to the og version,and at least one Queen song,Queen is as much a part of the Highlander legacy as is the story itself.

[@michelmartin672]

"So it can be faithful" some serious shade in that look

[@Mediados]

The part about "Big swings" really describes 80% of new movies. So many people play it safe out of fear for bad reviews, but it's much better to try something big and fail than to not even try in the first place. And the worst thing someone can describe your movie as is "It was ok, but I don't need to see it again." and then never speak of it ever again.

[@wyrdplae8586]

Can you imagine how scary it must be for him after what happened with the Witcher? Like, he must know that if it goes bad, even through no fault of his own, that fans will see his proximity to two franchises that didn't work out well, and they will run with that. The pressure of that must be a lot. I can imagine being a true fan of something and having it "go bad" quote/unquote "on your watch" must be so much worse than if something goes bad that you aren't invested in. Really hope it goes well. Never really been a fan of his per se but I really respect what he want's out of these things and I hope that admirable quality in him gets rewarded by something he is proud of.

[@marychocolatefairy]
