Jeremy Irons to Play Villain in Amazon MGM's 'Highlander' Remake

In a significant move, Sony Pictures has hired veteran production executive Louie Provost as their new executive vice president of production. Provost is best known for his 15-year tenure at Walt Disney Studios, where he oversaw the development of several blockbuster films, including the live-action remake of 'Lilo & Stitch', which has become the highest-grossing movie of the year, earning over $1 billion globally.

Provost's impressive track record in the family and franchise sphere also includes managing the $1 billion hit 'Aladdin', the Emmy Award-winning 'Chip n' Dale: Rescue Rangers', and the big-budget 'Maleficent' and 'Maleficent: Mistress of Evil'. His ability to deliver "big movie moments filled with heart" has made him a valuable asset, and Sony is excited to welcome him to the Columbia Pictures team.

In another major development, acclaimed actor Jeremy Irons has been cast as the villain in the upcoming 'Highlander' remake being produced by Amazon and MGM. Irons will be starring opposite Henry Cavill, who is set to play the lead role. The 'Highlander' franchise, known for its epic battles between immortal warriors, is poised for a highly anticipated comeback on the small screen.
