Conan Has A Director
Latino Review —
Conan Has A Director By George 'El Guapo' Roush on October 17, 2008 [image] I really wanted to do a whole thing about this news story but I'll let you guys actually read who the director is going to be by clicking either one of these TWO WORDS . You may then vent as freely as you like. But if I do the news piece the way I want to do it, I'll rob Ain't It Cool of a link. And if I do that their site may collapse and people will lose their jobs and I can't be the one responsible for that. But I'll give you a hint if you made it this far without linking...the guy is already ...
Almost Confirmed: Brett Ratner To Direct Conan
/Film —
... Aint It Cool News is kinda, sorta, may be, confirming the rumor that Brett Ratner will be directing Conan for Lionsgate. Written by Outlander scribes Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain, the $100 million R-rated tent pole is neither a remake or a sequel, as they are starting over from the original stories. ...

BY CROM! Brett Ratner on Conan!?
TheBadandUgly.com —
... found in the original series, someone–God only knows who–thought this would be the perfect project. Perhaps not being aware of the poof-and-you-missed it Outlander, which involved vikings and such, there doesn’t seem to be much outcry for a brand spanking-new Conan reboot.
That said, the last person I’d ever imagine doing said film would be Brett Ratner.
But that’s the word from Drew “Moriarty” McWeeny at Ain’t It Cool:
And let’s be clear… stop calling this ...
Brett Ratner Confirmed for Conan Reboot?
Film Junk —
... Well internet, it looks like your worst fears have been confirmed: Brett Ratner will be directing the new Conan movie. There still hasn’t been an official announcement about it, but Moriarty over at Ain’t It Cool News says it is a done deal. And before people start spouting off the usual angry tirades, let me just say that I am truly growing tired of the Brett Ratner hate. I don’t even understand where it all started. Just from X-Men: The Last Stand? How can someone like Michael Bay have plenty of people defending him, yet no ...
Ratner takes up Conan?
Filmstalker —
... on the new Conan film, the one that goes back to the original stories and recreates the life of Conan. While the news that the restart of the franchise is being welcomed, the suggestion that Ratner could take up the position is not, and yet I would have thought this would have been more suited for the director. There's no real hard and fast confirmation of Brett Ratner directing Conan , just a passing comment that seems to suggest that he's in there. It comes from AICN through /Film , and with it the point of view that is sweeping the interflab right ...
Ratner (Mostly) Officially Directing Conan
I Watch Stuff - The Best Movie News Ever —
It's sort of official: the rumor that Brett Ratner is directing the new Conan film is true. AICN reports:
Let’s be clear... stop calling [Conan] a remake. They’re not doing the Milius film. They’re starting over from the original stories. So it’s relly wrong to call this thing a remake at all. You won’t be seeing the same story or even the same supporting characters. This is ground zero.
And now it appears to be official that Brett Ratner is directing the goddamn thing.
Oh, brother. Alright, Brett, do your worst. And I mean ...

News Bites: Ratner, Reiner, Ferrell and Sex ... with Conan?
Cinematical —
... ... this should certainly make you laugh: According to AICN, Brett Ratner is a lock to direct the new Conan film. Not sure why Ratner's the choice here (especially since this film's main character is a male full of muscles), but apparently the idea is to go back to square one and see if they can't franchise this sucker. I personally think Conan's a little too deep for The Brett, but I guess we'll see ... ...
Ratner Takes On Conan Reboot
Cinema Blend News —
Ratner Takes On Conan Reboot A Conan the Barbarian remake, or revamp, reboot, or whatever you want to call it, had a tough road ahead of it from the very beginning. You have to make something really, really spectacular to erase the memory of all the campy Arnold Schwarzenegger performances. But that's never going to happen if Ain't it Cool has it right, and Brett Ratner will be taking over the franchise. AICN's Moriarty, reporting the story, doesn't cite any sources, but says it's definite that Ratner will be the guy. A Conan fan, Moriarty is about as panicked as most of ...
Conan The Destroyed?
Screen Rant —
... Conan has no cast attached yet - so it would appear that Cop has the advantage because they already know that Eddie Murphy is up for more Axel Foley, but it’s going to a bit more difficult finding a new Conan. How many musclemen out there can act, and I don’t mean in the wrestling way?
Will Ratner direct Conan?
Who knows, but at least it sounds like we might see Conan this decade.
