The new version will flesh out the 1986 cult classic's premise, which saw the immortal Connor MacLeod (Christopher Lambert) being mentored by Ramirez (Sean Connery) to fight for 'The Prize' - the power to rule the earth forever.
Twilight studio Summit Entertainment already has Art Marcum and Matt Holloway (Iron Man) writing the fantasy epic, while Neal Moritz recently came on board to produce.
The original Highlander launched four sequels and three spinoff TV shows. The most recent franchise instalment was the 2007 film Highlander: The Source.
