He'll play Connor MacLeod...

Tracking Board reports that Ryan Reynolds has officially been cast in
the lead role for the Highlander remake.

He will play Connor MacLeod, a Highlander who finds out he is one of a
decreasing group of immortals who kill each other in fights for the
"Prize" of immortality. Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later) will
direct and is currently in negotiations to rewrite the script.
Producers include Neal Moritz and Peter Davis.

Reynolds is known for being a comedic actor after roles in National
Lampoon's Van Wilder and Waiting. He has since played Deadpool in X-
Men Origins: Wolverine and Hal Jordan in Green Lantern. He most
recently starred with Denzel Washington in Safe House. He is voicing
characters for two animated films from Dreamworks: The Croods and
Turbo. Both will be released next year.
