Ryan Reynolds in for Highlander?

The actor is in talks to take on the lead in Summit Entertainment’s Highlander reboot. While the report says that all sides are in talks and all indications suggest that the talks are going very well, it doesn’t appear that Reynolds has been cemented in for the role just yet.
As Variety points out, Reynolds is still mulling over several other proposed projects, so it’s possible that he could end up passing up the role in favor of something else. For now, though, Ryan is the frontrunner for the Highlander role.
Not a whole lot is known about the upcoming Highlander reboot, apart from the fact that director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo of 28 Days Later fame will be helming the film while Art Marcum and Matt Holloway will be penning the screenplay.
