Marcus Nispel To Make 'Conan' Remake
Monday, June 15th, 2009
Marcus Nispel has been set by Nu Image/Millennium Films to direct "Conan," ending a nine-year development ordeal to reinvent the Robert E. Howard-created barbarian first immortalized onscreen by Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1982.
Production on the remake is set to start late this year in Bulgaria and South Africa. Nu Image/Millennium is making the film in a co-production with Lionsgate. Avi Lerner and Joe Gatta are producing with Fredrick Malmberg. Malmberg runs Paradox, the company that holds the rights to "Conan" and the other hero franchises in the Howard library.

Let's hope its not like Pathfinder. I just watch that last night ( I got tired of talking to the whino) and it was god AWFUL. On a side note, I'd like to see the WWE Wrestler the Undertaker take up the main character of Conan. Hey think about it, give him a tan and take the tats and bam there's Conan.
