Well this could be interesting. Apparently Warner Brother is in hot pursuit of the Wachowski Brothers to direct the next installment of the Conan series “King Conan”. All with Arnold attached obviously.
The good folks over at Cinescape offer up this little tid bit:
Back in January 2004, IGN Film Force had reported their trusted sources told them “Larry and Andy Wachowski have ankled King Conan: Crown of Iron, the third movie featuring Robert E. Howard’s barbarian hero. The Wachowski brothers were to have produced King Conan with John Milius onboard to write and direct it… Sources advised IGN FilmForce that the Wachowskis – who had reportedly clashed with Milius over the tone and direction of the film – left King Conan of their own volition.”
Thus whether the brothers are back or not must remain in the unconfirmed rumor category at this time
I know this makes me an unpopular boy around here… but I still don’t buy the idea of Arnold coming back to be Conan again. He’s too old, too out of shape, and I’m sorry guys, but “Just getting back in the gym” at 60 years of age just won’t cut it. But hey, I’ve been wrong before. Maybe they’ll fuel him up on Cocain and Horse steroids.
