If you feel like being risky today, put it in the hands of <b>Michael Mann</b>. That would be an interesting film. With his style of film making, it would be a step out of his normal element. But I think that with the overall look and feel that brings to a screen that it would be very possibly a great contrast to the picture and it would make the movie very engaging. He is great with the way he sets up sequences. Great with the way he approaches having the actors engage in dialogue. Great with the way he depicts incredible and insane acts of violence. It would be good. At least I think so. My personal Director of Choice would have been Akira Kurosawa. I think he would have done a great Job with CONAN! It would have been done in Black and White and would have been fucking epic! It would have reminded me of sitting by my lamp in my bedroom as a child reading <b>Savage Sword of Conan"</b>. But alas, that can never happen since he did just over 10 years ago. R.I.P. Give it to Werner Herzog.

"Was...was that cool? The peace sign?" He ran home to see how a marginally respected director sporting a peace sign tested with the market audience and found not a quantum of solace. Sorry, I'm trying to work 'quantum of solace' into everything I say publicly. I think it will make the movie less weird if I repeat its title in everyday speech. Is that weird?

Can't wait to pirate or rent. Can't wait to hear Doug rip him a new one for almost making a good movie. *sigh* Rat is throughly adequate, soulless, but adequate. Can’t wait to pirate or rent.

That is why I like hanging here, every now and then someone lays down some info or knowledge and it just blows me away. Mel does have all that period experience when he filmed Braveheart, one of my top ten favorite films. So yea Mel would lay the serious smack down on the Conan movie and make us believe! I would never have thought of him or even considered him, great call. Of course nothing we say matters anyway, but its nice to speculate and dream right?

After that happens we can talk about a Conan reboot. But to me, discussing this now would be like talking about a Superman reboot if Christopher Reeve were around and walking and a script for Kingdom Come was just laying around waiting to be filmed. Or to put it briefly: Crom cares not for your reboot. I would prefer Arnold Schwarzenegger return with John Milius at the helm to make that long-rumored King Conan movie.
