A Kind of Magic: Making the Original Highlander is the first book dedicated to Russell Mulcahy's 1986 classic, featuring 60 new cast and crew interviews, a look at unmade scripts and featuring never-before-seen photos. If there can be only one book on #Highlander then this is it!

Thanks Billy, glad you enjoyed it!

Boom boom! The new Kastagir?

While researching my book on 1986’s Highlander I discovered that filming of the final Silvercup fight took place during Live Aid. The concert boosted Queen’s popularity even further and a few months later they got the Highlander soundtrack gig.

Is this the Kurgan's leather jacket in an episode of Minder?

@HighlanderStuff I came home from work, turned on my tv and was greeted with this. I found the episode on YouTube and took these screenshots. https://t.co/4gLSkY1mUH from about 16 mins in!!

In @kindofmagicbook I discussed the various lost/deleted Highlander scenes that only exist as photos... but what if AI could recreate them? Highlander Heart has had a go at doing just that in this new video... https://t.co/2520tmjgKw

It was 7 years today that Kevin Bacon came to Edinburgh to have his photo taken with a copy of @TremorsGuide - the book is still available to order from all good bookshops!

Not sure there are any real exclusives in this, but I’ve just published an update on some of my writing projects over at https://t.co/eF6bKk35Ze - feel free to subscribe. ChatGPT has perfectly captured my writing set-up in the attached image.

I love how beautiful, horny, and wildly destructive the Quickenings are

For #BookshopDay I took a trip to the brilliant @PortyBooks (and spotted two of my books) and @argonaut_books, buying a few things along the way. Long live local bookshops, visit one this weekend if you get a chance. 📚📚

[Jonathan Melville @jon_melville]

Just 11 months after the last one, I've sent out a newsletter with some Local Hero, Tremors and Highlander updates, plus a few plugs for random films, telly and books I've been enjoying - if you like that sort of thing then head over to Substack... https://t.co/avTZqLHCNs

Now THAT'S how you do a Highlander 4K cover. Not scary at all.
