Title: Conan coming 2010 - director will be Brett Ratner
Post by: Bluto on November 09, 2008, 04:09:26 AM
The Hollywood Reporter says that Brett Ratner has weighed two high-profile projects the past few weeks: Paramount's fourth installment of the "Beverly Hills Cop" franchise and a 21st century take on "Conan" co-produced by Nu Image/Millennium and Lionsgate.

Ratner has now made his choice and is in final negotiations to direct Conan, which is aiming for a release in early 2010.

The trade says that Ratner jived to the Conan script by Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly, who looked to Robert E. Howard's original pulp stories of the 1930s to create their take on the character. The writers are doing a quick polish to incorporate some of Ratner's ideas.

Joe Gatta and Avi Lerner of Millennium Films are producing, along with Paradox Entertainment president and CEO Fredrik Malmberg.

Millennium and Lionsgate are eyeing a potential franchise and envision a very R-rated approach in the $85 million budget range. Preproduction is under way for a shoot at Nu Image's Nu Boyana Studio in Bulgaria.

"The story opens on the battlefield where Conan is born and tells the origin story that sets the stage for what will be the first of multiple films," Lerner said.

I know you have no interest in either bodybuilding or movies, but for the rest of us, Conan is a pretty big deal  :)

and who the hell will play Conan?

there's no muscle hero actors like Arnold around so they will probably be forced to make him computer animated.

Even competitive level.

Weren't the supposed to do a King Conan movie? basically continuing where the last Conan movie left off ??!

I hate when hollywood studio's try to re-do what the original 1st or 2nd movies in a franchise tried to establish...an origin story... fuck, this sucks.
