Fox, having learned nothing from its Gracepoint/Broadchurch experiment, is developing a remake of the BBC crime series Luther. Like Gracepoint/Broadchurch, Fox has hired Luther's original creator, Neil Cross, to assist in the making of the American version, which will exist because …? There's really not a sound reason to remake Luther, especially since the original is readily available for U.S. audiences via Netflix (it also ran on BBC America). Hit the jump for the who and the what of this remake. According to Variety, Idris Elba, star of the original series, will serve as an executive producer, but not appear in the American version. This is a huge problem. Luther is Elba. Remove his performance, and Luther becomes more a run-of-the-mill Sherlock-inspired weekly-psycho series (in which Single White Females Living Alone are always targeted and brutally killed).

Way back last year we brought you news that Iron Man scripters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were penning the script for Summit Entertainment’s Highlander reboot. Now we finally have news about who is directing and producing the 21st Century Highlander update. Here’s a clue - they’re Fast and they’re Furious.
Yes - Fast and Furious director Justin Lin and blossoming super-producer Neal H. Moritz will call the shots on the Highlander remake.
The original Highlander told the tale of a 16th Century Scotsman - a highlander - who is immortal. He and other “immortals” fight through the ages in order to win “The Prize.” The only way that they can be killed is to be decapitated. Highlander starred Christopher Lambert and screen legend Sean Connery.
