Okay, so we’ve heard the news from JoBlo about the sequels, but there’s something else, and I think it’s deserving of a separate post (mainly for Doug). Could Robert Rodrigeuz be shooting a Conan remake?
Rodriguez plans to start shooting a film titled CONAN for Warner Bros. after he’s done with the sequels. We’re not sure whether CONAN is the same sequel that’s been in development for a few years now, Conan O’Brien’s scintillating tell-all autobiography or something completely original.
Yeah, that’s more likely actually. Shame. What a cool take that would be! Sorry Doug!

Looks like he stepped away from the big sword:

Rodriguez and Conan?
“Q: Now your name was attached to some big franchise in the past, like the whole Conan stuff.”
“Rodriguez: Conan and Princess of Mars. It’s hard to do the studio pictures now that I’m out of the DGA so, because they developed projects, control project. I couldn’t do it, so I’m just doing more original material like Grandhouse and Sin City.”
That sounds like a “no”.

The good news, is it’s wide open for another director to make his mark on it. John Woo? Tarantino? Ridley Scott?
