Some time has passed since the last "Highlander" remake update. Over a year, in fact – last we'd heard, "Fast Five" director Justin Lin was attached to direct with Neal Moritz producing for Summit Entertainment. "Iron Man" screenwriters Art Marcum and Matt Holloway were working on the script.
But as the old "Highlander" adage goes, there can be only one… and as of right now, it's neither Marcum nor Holloway who will be writing the screenplay.
Instead of sticking with the "Iron Man" duo, the "Highlander" screenwriting gig is staying in the Summit family. Heat Vision reports that "Twilight" writer Melissa Rosenberg is in negotiations for the remake, with Moritz and Lin both still attached to the project and Peter Davis also on board as a producer.

Obviously, I mean screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg. We all know that Stephenie Meyer wrote the books. And this is all assuming that Summit Entertainment actually goes ahead and greenlights "
Twilighters might want to think twice before popping in that DVD for the fiftieth time this weekend, and instead head to LA for some upcoming vampire scoop. Because none other than “Twilight” screenwriter Melissa Rosenberg will be appearing at the LA Times Festival of Books this Saturday at UCLA - signing copies of her smash script.
Are you too busy reading about vampires to pick up your socks off the bedroom floor? Have you been spending your nights posting on message boards under the alias “LoveSpunkOME,” rather than emptying the overflowing trash can in your kitchen? We know, Twilighters, we’ve been there too.
