Well at least Rob Zombie isn't directing it.

I dont know. I would have liked to have seen Zombie's film. It would finally be something different from his usual "white trash who kill people for no good reason" stuff. I understand he's a fan as well. I think Ratner is too stylized for this kind of film. But we'll see, i suppose.

Ratner seriously?? He did a horrible job with Red Dragon, and hell, he had a version of it on the shelf that he could have easily looked at.

This guy will probably end up killing this. Or, he could be gettin the same reaction we gave when we first heard of McG and Terminator. I guess, I'm just "meh" about this now, until I start seeing some set pics.

Maybe he really does like the character and has a passion to do it. Let's hope he doesn't lie about it though, like with X3.

Ratner was claiming he was a huge fan, then the dummy didn't know jack when he was talking on the commentary.

Did you not read the article, pork chop? It's not a re-make of the Schwarzenegger movie in the least.

Not that i'm on board with this director, mind you. But this is in no way a "re-make".

 

[byte19]

oh great!! really? it's not a remake? awesome!! now i'll go see it! sorry 'ham-hock' reading the article or not, i'd rather watch batman & robin 10 times.

Boo I say. hate the Rat getting a Conan franchise. Give it to a real director, who will give it his own vision. Ratner hasn't got an original bone in his body.

I'd watch any Ratner movie before reading another post by byte19

Eh, better than giving it to Singer.

 

[AVEITWITHJAMON]

^NO it isnt, Singer is 50 times the director Ratner is.

^NO it isnt, Singer is 50 times the director Ratner is.

Agreed although I wasnt a fan of Superman Returns!

I'm a little unsure of this news, I wasnt enthused with the news of McG directing T4 either but thats looking good so maybe this will be too.

Nothing can be said until we see some footage really!

 

[Theweepeople]

^NO it isnt, Singer is 50 times the director Ratner is.

Agreed. Singer has actually directed a film that won 2 oscars. None of Ratner's garbage came close to winning any academy awards. All of Ratner's films have received mediocre to bad ratings on multiple movie websites.

Na, I think that's exactly what Zombie would of put in. He would of made Conan born in a trailer and then when he was 13 he loses his virginity or something. Yeah, Zombie's Conan right there. But even though I think theire are alot, and I mean alot of better directos than Ratner for the job, I'll sleep better at night with him at the riegns than Zombie.

Actually it's staying more closer to the source material. It's not a remake of the Arnold version which was a complete difference to the material. You aren't making any sense.

And he did the freaking Usual Suspects and X2. People seem to forget he made of the best comic book sequels of all time. Too bad. They are just blinded by SR and completely disregard him and his past great work.
