The upcoming Highlander: Endgame will be similar to the original Highlander, according to Christopher Lambert, the star of the film. "The story is obviously different, but the construction of the film is close to No. 1, as I said before, because we are giving lots of thoughts about the joys and the pains of immortality," stated Lambert.

Although actor Adrian Paul makes an appearance alongside Lambert, the film will have little to do with the popular Highlander television series. "This is a feature," Lambert said. "We are not taking anything from the TV show. But I would say that Endgame has the best story so far since Highlander. ... The movie is about redemption. It's also about a strong reflection on immortality ... a romantic movie combined with lots of action, opticals and special effects."

Let’s hope so. The second and third Highlander film simply… how can I say this eloquently… sucked.

The film, which was shot in Romania, London, New York and Scotland, will feature a new villain, Kell, played by Bruce Payne. "Kell ... is very edgy. ... Very funny, but highly dangerous. He is the only bad guy in [the] Highlander [series] that I would definitely compare to the Kurgan [from the original film]."
