Chris, I am with you all the way! Bring back John Milius! I still say he is the perfect man with the perfect vision for Thor, but I would love to see Mr. Milius finally make Crown of Iron!
But PRAISE Crom that Ratner is no longer attached!

“What is best in life?”
“The open steppe, freed horse, falcons at your wrist, and the wind in your hair.”
“WRONG! Conan, what is best in life?”
“To crush your enemies, see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentation of the women!”
“Yes, that is good!”

@Rob Keyes, interestingly enough, I once sent a facebook msg to James telling him to get his agent to contact Nu Image about Conan! He IS perfect for this!

They should bring back to the directors chear John Milius, He is a great director in the same level as Ridley Scott, we need experince director that have done sword and sandal type of movies.like he made the first Conan movie.
They can stick to his script King Conan: Crown od Iron when he was attached back in 2000.
Avi lerner whants to bring back Arnold and he is keen to continue the franchise,from Conan the Barbarian, but just changing the title slitely to Conan the King.
They have waited 2 years why can’t just wait an other untill 2010 when Arnold leaves office and to put back his loincolth and ravage the Hyborian screen…

Could be interesting. I’m not really that in to the idea of a Connan movie, but who knows.

On a side note not enjoying the new layout. The previous one was much more user friendly. I also simply don’t like how it looks.

What is best in life ?

” To see your enemies driven before you and to hear the lamentation of the women “.

I had a few Conan comics when I was a kid , very cool stuff.
I loooooooved the first Conan movie , despite a few clunky FX moments I thought it was so much fun.
I’m really excited to see this character return to the big screen.
Now all they need is a great script , a director who respects the source material , a huge budget , a genius of a fight choreographer and most importantly a big scary looking dude who can act.
Thats not too much to ask is it ?

Anytime Ratner is removed from consideration the chances of a project producing a quality film increases 100%.

Oh, and NO wrestlers playing Conan OR Thor, PLEASE!

Ninja Assassin looks awesome from what we’ve seen so far too.

Yeah “V for Vendetta” was awesome, but that fact that Brett Ratner isn’t directing anymore means that there is hope.

V for vendetta was good so there is hope.
