The trailor for the animated Highlander film is up! Supposadly it's CGI but it looks more like an Anime to me!

Here's the plot:
In revenge, patience is a virtue. And after a millennium, Colin MacLeod doesn't give a damn about virtue.

After four films and two successful television series, you've never seen the Highlander like this. MacLeod returns with a vengeance.in an animated feature-length epic! In the tradition of "Vampire Hunter D" and "Ninja Scroll," anime wizard Yoshiaki Kawajiri brings his unique visual bravura to the immortal "Highlander" franchise. For the first time, the MacLeod katana blade will find itself in the hands of a Japanese master.

In the new tale, the lone warrior Colin travels with the wise-cracking ghost Amergan through the ages searching for the immortal despot Marcus Octavius, who killed his lover on the Celtic plains tens of centuries ago. On his quest, he discovers New York is submerged, and one dominant monolith fortress towers over the seas. Colin can save the survivors, but his sword only hungers for the blood of one man. Despite many lifetimes of training, Colin has failed to vanquish Marcus on the great battlefields of history. Can he finish what he started and stop Marcus? Will Colin lead the people to freedom or become consumed by hate? There can be only one.

Highlander the Animated Series was...successful? Or are they talking about Highlander: the Raven, that show I didn't even know existed until it got released on DVD?

As far as I'm concerned, the only enjoyable piece of Highlander fiction is the first movie.

Though this movie looks to be pretty snazzy.

Well I didn't know Imagi was doing it or that the trailer had been up for a while. All I knew is that Kevin Eastman was involved in an animated Highlander film. :P He's the animation supervisor.
