Cineverse has extended its existing deal with Davis Panzer Productions, securing digital rights to nine titles including the original Highlander movie.
Starring Sean Connery and Christopher Lambert, the 1986 action-adventure fantasy film grossed just $5.9 million but became a popular title in home video and pay-tv windows, spawning multiple sequels. Its tagline, “There can be only one!” became a piece of pop-culture lore. A Highlander TV series ran for six seasons in the 1990s and also yielded a spinoff series.
The multi-year, multi-territory agreement gives Cineverse streaming rights for its namesake service and Midnight Pulp as well as distribution via other digital platforms and streaming outlets. A reboot of the feature film and franchise is currently in development at Lionsgate. Chad Stahelski of John Wick fame is set to direct and Man of Steel–The Witcher star Henry Cavill will play the lead role of Connor MacLeod.
