As an enormous Highlander fan, I’ve been following the plans to reboot the franchise for years, and after a number of begins and stops, it appears to be like just like the film could lastly really occur, as new actors are being solid within the movie. The most up-to-date identify added to the listing is Russell Crowe, who will reunite along with his former Man of Metal co-star Henry Cavill, but it surely seems that wasn’t the primary place these two met.
The Story Behind The Advice Russell Crowe As soon as Gave Henry Cavill
Again when Man of Metal was launched, the solid appeared on The Graham Norton Show, and Crowe talked about assembly a 16-year-old Henry Cavill. Crowe was available on the Stowe College, taking pictures the film Proof of Life with Meg Ryan, the place Cavill was a scholar. Crowe says he seen a younger Cavill as a very adept rugby participant, and the 2 began speaking, and Cavill wished recommendation on find out how to change into an actor. Crowe stated…
So as an alternative of not answering the questions or no matter – ‘trigger you get requested these questions 100 thousand occasions – I advised him the reality within the temporary second that I had with him, and put it in entrance of him that it is a problem that is as much as him. No person’s gonna give it to you.
Crowe says he later put collectively a few care packages, one for Merlin Hanbury-Tenison, who performed Crowe’s on-screen son within the movie, and likewise went to the varsity, and one other for Cavill. In Cavill’s, he included a notice. Crowe continued his story…
On Henry’s I put ‘A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step,’ mainly ‘If you need it, you go and get it.
Years later, on the set of Man of Metal, Crowe apparently requested Cavill if the 2 had met earlier than, and Cavill needed to remind Crowe of their assembly, it appears.
Cavill And Crowe Will Reunite In The Highlander Reboot
Russell Crowe and Henry Cavill will see one another once more quickly, as they’re now each set to seem within the Highlander reboot directed by Chad Stahelski. The pair will probably even have probably have considerably extra display screen time collectively than they did on the Superman movie.
Cavill has been on board to play the lead character, a Scottish immortal who was named Conor Macleod within the unique 1985 film. Crowe has signed on to play Macloud’s mentor, who was performed by Sean Connery within the unique film. Dave Bautista was beforehand on board the reboot to play the villain, however that was so way back at this level it’s unclear if he’s nonetheless hooked up.
