An open letter to the producers of Highlander: The Source

An open letter to the producers of Highlander: The source.
William Panzer and Peter Davis are two names that have been associated with Highlander for as long as I can remember; as long as I have been aware of such things as producers and executive producers and directors and the like. As long as I have known what these people do… These guys have been doing it, with my favourite franchise. They were there from the start, they had the vision to see what Gregory Widen saw, to hook the script up with Russel Mulcahy. And from this pairing a beautiful film was made. Of course in its initial release in the US it was cut to hell and probably made very little sense. But when I saw it in Aussieland… well it made complete sense to me: An immortal who lives and loves, with friends from many eras who has come to New York to end the conflict that has dominated his life. He is a loner and a strange almost alien lead character who you grew to like as the film progressed. The film ends and he wins The Prize, to live as a mortal to love and to be the conduit for human understanding… what else needs to be said? Nothing.
Sadly, this is where things start the slide down a slope that has gotten steeper and steeper as the years progress.
