A fifth Highlander movie is on the way, according to Empire Online.

The site reports that Adrian Paul's website says that Paul will star and be executive producer for the film under the direction of Brett Leonard (The Lawnmower Man). It will be written by David Abramowitz, who wrote the franchise's TV spin-off.

Paul writes: "Be ready to see a new Highlander film that has the quality of television the series with a new sound and look for 2006. Everyone is excited to be able to produce something that we have more control over, and to revamp such a successful franchise."
