Yup you heard it. Conan is currently being planned to launch in 2009. Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain have been hired to rework Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer’s (“Sahara”) original script that was written for Lionsgate. No director has been signed and the film will be given an R rating for it’s Conanism.

This will not be a continuation from the earlier Arnold Schwarzenegger films. This movie is suppose to us the stories from the Conan comic books. I personally think that is the way to go. The comics were much darker and they were the only first comic books that were bearable in black and white. The old books were printed on Magazine stock and were always BW except for the cover. Every book had naked chicks, decapitated heads and scary monsters.

So get ready to see our Dark and Silent type hero come back to the big screen to fight off wizards, barbarians and make off with the hot wench.

“CROM!” This is going to be a good movie!
