There's two issues with this article. The first, and more straightforward, argument for deletion is that this subject does not meet WP:GNG. The only source I've been able to find online is the same interview cited by the article, hosted on various websites in either English or Italian. Its reliability and independence are questionable, and by itself it certainly does not meet notability guidelines.

More puzzling, however, is that the plot summary for this article appears to be copied almost word for word from Highlander II: The Quickening, with all the character names changed. It seems more than a little improbable that these two films have the same plot. _signed,Rosguill ^talk 23:20, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Despite having been named slightly differently, the two footnotes are both the same actual source — but it's a WordPress blog, not a notability-making reliable source, and nominator is correct that the only other locatable source is an English translation of the same source, so it doesn't add GNG points at all. And no, the plot description being a copy-paste of a different film's plot description isn't encouraging either — but then again, neither is the fact that the blog interview also fails to contain any other plot description either, thus failing to prove that the creator didn't lift its plot straight from a Highlander movie. The fact that "Ian McKellen as God" in the cast list is not verified by either the blogsource or by the IMDb profile also doesn't fill me with a lot of hope either. None of this is "inherently" notable at all, and some of it is tilting in a very WP:HOAX-like direction — so we would need much, much better sources to deem it notable than have actually been shown.

Delete - pretty much what Bearcat said. Looking through this before reading their comment, I came to a similar conclusion. Guettarda (talk) 14:19, 13 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
