But will Princes of the Universe still be the theme song?

Thats the low hanging fruit that Hollywood misses all the time. A Christopher Lambert cameo, keep the theme song... its not hard to tick a few small nostalgia boxes when dipping into the Vault.

Clancy Brown was way more impactfull then Lambert.

The amount of Highlander quotes you still hear to this day are mostly those of The kurgan.

Connery and Brown carried that movie. Lambert just went along for the ride.

Remember our agreement, Murdoch. The boy... Is mine.

The way how Clancy just spits out these one liners, in that growling voice. It's bloody fantastic. Cavill as mcloud is good and all, but it's all about who they cast for the Kurgan and Ramirez. And that they don't fuck the story up too much.

Hi. I'm candy. *Of course you are.. *

It will be a cover by some pop or rap star and it will be cringe.

A slowed down, piano based and sadder vocals cover.

So.... "Who Wants to Live Forever"?

[–] ours@lemmy.world 1 points 4 months ago

But the singer needs to sound bored.

No, Princes of the Universe will get the slow whisper sung cover for the trailer.

Who Wants to Live Forever will get the dancy uptempo Demi Lovato cover in the end credits.

The could do modern covers of the entire album.

Imagine Dragons could do Princes of The Universe some justice.

No words.

Come to think of it maybe 3 sentences:

Burn the heretic. Kill the mutant. Purge the unclean.
