“At last, the Gathering…”
Join us as we celebrate the 40th anniversary of this (cult) classic of British cinema - in glorious 4K - with HIGHLANDER-guru Jonathan Melville.
Sean Connery, Christopher Lambert and Clancy Brown star in this centuries-spanning action-adventure, which journeys from the glorious Highlands of Scotland to the neon-streets (and rooftops) of 80s New York.
Remastered in stunning 4K, with an unforgettable Queen soundtrack, we’re excited to bring HIGHLANDER back to the big screen, with a very special guest…
Because, in 2026, if you need someone to talk HIGHLANDER, there can be only one. And he is Edinburgh-based freelance arts journalist, Jonathan Melville.

For the official 40th anniversary 4K Blu-ray, Jonathan not only provides an audio commentary but also new analysis of the film in “From Script to Screen: In Search of Lost Scenes & Forgotten Immortals” - an 84-page booklet including lost scenes and unfilmed script excerpts.
Set for release in September this year (and available to pre-order), Jonathan’s much-anticipated “The Art & Making of Highlander” is an official, lavishly illustrated coffee table hardback that will provide a visual retrospective of the cult-classic.
Jonathan has contributed to The Guardian, The Scotsman, SFX and BBC Radio Scotland. He is the author of “A Kind of Magic: Making the Original Highlander”, “Seeking Perfection: The Unofficial Guide to Tremors”, and “Local Hero: Making a Scottish Classic”.
