Last month, we told you that hot Fast & Furious director Justin Lin left Summit Entertainment’s remake of 1986’s Highlander due to scheduling conflicts. Summit’s Highlander wasn’t developing fast enough to make Lin’s dance card though Lin still intended to serve as an executive producer on the project.

Variety reports that Summit is in talks with director Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later, Intacto) for this reboot effort.

Summit has a script written by Iron Man writers Art Marcum and Matt Holloway. Neal H. Mortiz and Peter Davis serve as producers on the project with Rui Costa Reis and Eliad Josephson of RCR Media Group as executive producers.

Fresnadillo will also helm Relativity Media’s reboot of James O’Barr’s The Crow.

Summit plans for Highlander to be released in 2014.
