They’d lose their heads if they weren’t screwed on. After director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo left the project last year, citing the old “creative differences” excuse, Summit Entertainment’s HIGHLANDER reboot has suffered another casualty with the departure of star Ryan Reynolds. As producers Neal Moritz and Peter Davis searched for another director, Reynolds was left quietly twiddling his thumbs. However, people can’t be expected to wait forever. This does give the project a fresh start, and perhaps they could actually cast a Scottish actor in the role. Ryan Reynolds hasn’t exactly been a box office draw over the last few years, and with the rather lame looking R.I.P.D. coming out this summer, that doesn’t look set to change.
R.I.P.D. is released 19th July in the US and 30th August in the UK. It stars Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Mary-Louise Parker, Robert Knepper, James Hong, Marisa Miller, and Stephanie Szostak.
