They got Cavill for the HIGHLANDER reboot.

Yeah, I can see that. Henry Cavill has been busily chewing his way through comic book and action fantasy properties for the last few years; HIGHLANDER seems like an obvious next step. I suppose I’m just surprised that they’re finally getting ready to film it, five years later. Oh, well. I suppose if we could wait thirty years for somebody to take a second bite at that particular apple, five more isn’t so bad.

Moe Lane

PS: I think he’ll do fine, actually. He was a good Geralt: Connor MacLeod won’t be too much of a stretch. But who can they find to be the villain?
