In "Highlander", after centuries of dueling to survive against others like him, Connor MacLeod, an immortal Scottish swordsman must confront the last of his kind, a murderously brutal barbarian, who lusts for the fabled Prize.
"We are privileged to have this amazing opportunity to reinvent one of the great franchises," the studio's co-chairman Patrick Wachsberger said .
"Neal and Justin have proven more than once that they can deliver an entertaining and exciting blockbuster."
Summit's film will expand on the original Highlander's core mythology and according to the press release the plan is very much to "spur a new franchise for the studio".
"Iron Man" scribes, Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will pen the script.
The pic will likely hit theatres at the back end of 2010/Spring 2011.
