There can be only... none? Ryan Reynolds has exited the long-in gestation/development hell remake of Highlander, in which he was going to play immortal Scotsman Connor MacLeod, leaving the project without a lead actor or a director.

If you thought remaking the 1986 classic was a bad idea and think this news is good, think again — The Wrap reports that this actually helps the project, because now a new director can cast his own leading man rather than getting saddled with Reynolds. Hey, here's a fun idea... why not cast somebody Scottish? You know, just to see what that would be like?

Or why not abandon the project altogether? It's bound to suck donkey balls no matter who the leading man is.

Agreed - why do they need to remake all of these movies? How long before someone tries to remake Die Hard or Home Alone?
