When asked what the status of the Conan Director is Producer Joe Gatta states:

"We’re currently in the process of hiring a director. For the past six months we were discussing the movie with Brett Ratner, and for more timing issues than anything else we had to part ways with Brett. We all wanted him to do it, believe me; just the timing didn’t work. But you never know what can happen."

Joe also gave a comment on the production schedule of Conan, "We have a potential start-date on Conan of August 24. And we’ll be shooting in Bulgaria. I would say though the emphasis is on Conan [rather than Red Sonja]. It’s our crown jewel here at the company and that will be the leader. Red Sonja probably won’t happen until next year, as far as making it goes. So we want to launch Conan and reinvent the franchise."

So yeah Conan would be pretty bad-ass with all the new tech since the previous one.
If people really want to say first theres a reason, its not hugs. It is simply because they have never achieved anything of merit and wish to state they can be first for something before they die.

Or they are just tools.

BUT YEA CONAN!

I really did not care about this movie but for the Conan fans out there I am glad that Ratner was taken off. I am more of a Conan O'Brien fan than a Conan the Barbarian fan.

I loved the old Conan movie with Arnold. I'm excited to see what they can do with it nowadays :)

WTF?!
First they start this marketing campaign for Red Sonja, then everything goes Conan... Then they throw all of these pics online with Rose in full regalia (groan), now they're saying that they've LOST a director for the film due to a scheduling conflict?! And it was Rattner!!!???
I see the Conan movie now, he's going to fight through a bloody swath of red tape, and journey through a dark and abysmal developmental limbo!

I say Roland Kickinger for Conan. He played "Chip Rommel" in Son of the Beach. (jk)

I think Shibazzz needs more than a hug. I really can't think of anyone right now of who could do Conan.

Great, another remake...yeaaaah.

Why don't they just make their own version of a barbarian movie? Why do you need to remake Conan?

LEEE777 - 5/7/2009, 4:21 PM
Not VIN hehehehehe!!! An yeah your right @ MACK @ We don't need a remake they can do their own spin on the character!

I only have one thing to say to Ratner

Quoting Nappa from TFS Abridged DBZ:

"Bitch, please."

Awesome... Ratner should be banished from Earth for his crimes against humanity!
musicsuperhero
musicsuperhero - 5/7/2009, 9:53 PM
i'm not even mildly enthused about a conan movie...but in light of what ratner willingly did with x3 i would want him far away from any such movie...comic related or whathaveyou....just for the sake of the fans.
musicsuperhero
musicsuperhero - 5/7/2009, 9:54 PM
in other words: ratner should stick to making jackie chan movies!!

Why on God's given earth would you want that [frick]er Brett RATner to direct anything, the only thing he should be director of is an old folks home gettin ready for a bingo game, yelling B4

Brett Ratner is the biggest doucher of all directors, he falls in the same category with Dakota Fanning, Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Bell. They should form a club call the Big Time Doucher Society

Hey i just watched PUSH with Dakota Fanning! Somehow, she reminded me of a 50 year old Goldie Hawn.
