Given, it ain’t horror, but when there’s swords, blood and decapitations to boot, it spells fun to me! We just got word that Madhouse Animation is currently in production of a new HIGHLANDER movie- this time done in Anime style.
Directed by Yoshiaki Kawajiri (the guy who brought us the ultraviolent and totally awesome NINJA SCROLL and THE VAMPIRE HUNTER D), the new HIGHLANDER goes a little something like this:
In revenge, patience is a virtue. And after a millennium, Colin MacLeod doesn’t give a damn about virtue.
In the new tale, the lone warrior Colin travels with the wise-cracking ghost Amergan through the ages searching for the immortal despot Marcus Octavius, who killed his lover on the Celtic plains tens of centuries ago. On his quest, he discovers New York is submerged, and one dominant monolith fortress towers over the seas. Colin can save the survivors, but his sword only hungers for the blood of one man. Despite many lifetimes of training, Colin has failed to vanquish Marcus on the great battlefields of history. Can he finish what he started and stop Marcus? Will Colin lead the people to freedom or become consumed by hate? There can be only one.
Hell yeah there can be only one! This time he battles a Japanese master, and the possibilities of crazy sword fightin’ is endless. Sure, it’s animated, but still- that shit is sick!
I know, you want more, don’t ya? Check out the teaser trailer HERE and tell me that doesn’t look like a bowl full of fun! Also, be sure to look over the OFFICIAL SITE, while it’s not pimped out with much yet, it will be soon….
