Ratner Off of Conan Movie

For those of you not too happy with Ratner's accomplishments, you will be happy to hear what the producer of Conan has to say regarding his involvement.
When asked what the status of the Conan Director is Producer Joe Gatta states:

"We’re currently in the process of hiring a director. For the past six months we were discussing the movie with Brett Ratner, and for more timing issues than anything else we had to part ways with Brett. We all wanted him to do it, believe me; just the timing didn’t work. But you never know what can happen."

Joe also gave a comment on the production schedule of Conan, "We have a potential start-date on Conan of August 24. And we’ll be shooting in Bulgaria. I would say though the emphasis is on Conan [rather than Red Sonja]. It’s our crown jewel here at the company and that will be the leader. Red Sonja probably won’t happen until next year, as far as making it goes. So we want to launch Conan and reinvent the franchise."

shibazz - 5/7/2009, 3:34 PM
you need a hug don't you Shibazz? or maybe that's why you feel the need to post for no reason - because you've had far too many hugs....far too many hugs out in the toolshed boy? huh? out in the toolshed?

it's not too late to call the child abuse helpline.
Keven - 5/7/2009, 3:38 PM
AAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAAAA, you finally got it you psycho LOLOL :P I luv ya!!!

Well i sure as hell am glad he's out after what he said about comic book movie characters and all. [frick]ing douche!!!
Shaman - 5/7/2009, 3:40 PM
and this news is positive - because it means they want Conan out before Rodriguez slops his girlfriend into that Red Sonja movie....Who would be a good Conan now though? Pretty much whoever doesn't get the role of Thor I guess.
Keven - 5/7/2009, 3:40 PM
So yeah Conan would be pretty bad-ass with all the new tech since the previous one.
If people really want to say first theres a reason, its not hugs. It is simply because they have never achieved anything of merit and wish to state they can be first for something before they die.

Or they are just tools.

BUT YEA CONAN!
VenomIsOnMyRibs - 5/7/2009, 3:41 PM

Jojo Risin - 5/7/2009, 3:51 PM
ok, iknew this movie was in the works and i guess i may not have been following this too closely...but does anyone know who's in the running for the lead?
soldier1 - 5/7/2009, 3:52 PM
I really did not care about this movie but for the Conan fans out there I am glad that Ratner was taken off. I am more of a Conan O'Brien fan than a Conan the Barbarian fan.
ironknight27 - 5/7/2009, 3:53 PM
I loved the old Conan movie with Arnold. I'm excited to see what they can do with it nowadays :)
Runefyst - 5/7/2009, 3:55 PM
WTF?!
First they start this marketing campaign for Red Sonja, then everything goes Conan... Then they throw all of these pics online with Rose in full regalia (groan), now they're saying that they've LOST a director for the film due to a scheduling conflict?! And it was Rattner!!!???
I see the Conan movie now, he's going to fight through a bloody swath of red tape, and journey through a dark and abysmal developmental limbo!
adamant877 - 5/7/2009, 3:56 PM
I say Roland Kickinger for Conan. He played "Chip Rommel" in Son of the Beach. (jk)
adamant877 - 5/7/2009, 4:00 PM
I think Shibazzz needs more than a hug. I really can't think of anyone right now of who could do Conan.
spideysweb - 5/7/2009, 4:03 PM
Great, another remake...yeaaaah.

Why don't they just make their own version of a barbarian movie? Why do you need to remake Conan?


Macksimus - 5/7/2009, 4:08 PM
whoever they make conan they need to give him like a 6 picture movie deal. i want to see lots of these films. arnold should have made lots more.
grif - 5/7/2009, 4:13 PM
Not VIN hehehehehe!!! An yeah your right @ MACK @ We don't need a remake they can do their own spin on the character!
LEEE777 - 5/7/2009, 4:21 PM
Yay no Ratner! Give Conan to that guy that wanted to be thor so bad. I mean, throw him a freakin' bone here, there.
Betty - 5/7/2009, 4:26 PM
I only have one thing to say to Ratner

Quoting Nappa from TFS Abridged DBZ:

"Bitch, please."
SGA - 5/7/2009, 4:51 PM
THANK GAWD...BUT YOU GUYS KNOW WHY HE'S HELD UP RIGHT? HE'S GOING TO DO A GAMOOVIE-(VIDEO GAME TURNED LIVE ACTION MOVIE)--OF "GOD OF WAR"...WELL..IT WAS THAT OR CONAN..I HEARD WACHOWSKI BROTHERS WAS LINKED TO DOING IT.
GUNSMITH - 5/7/2009, 5:24 PM
Would love to see a GOW movie. I hope Ratner doesn't do it though.
spideysweb - 5/7/2009, 5:48 PM
BRETT RATNER, HE MAKES ME WANT TO BARF BLOOD...BEEEEEEEAAYYTCH PLEEEASE....
GUNSMITH - 5/7/2009, 5:51 PM
HHH for Conan! ..just getting that out there before someone else does!
Rorschach01 - 5/7/2009, 7:18 PM
from the CO to the NAN!!!
grif - 5/7/2009, 7:19 PM
They got lucky. That's all I'll say.
iNsaneMilesy - 5/7/2009, 7:29 PM
Thank Crom!
J. "Falcon" Ayers - 5/7/2009, 8:37 PM
Awesome... Ratner should be banished from Earth for his crimes against humanity!
gerant - 5/7/2009, 9:40 PM
i'm not even mildly enthused about a conan movie...but in light of what ratner willingly did with x3 i would want him far away from any such movie...comic related or whathaveyou....just for the sake of the fans.
musicsuperhero - 5/7/2009, 9:53 PM
in other words: ratner should stick to making jackie chan movies!!
musicsuperhero - 5/7/2009, 9:54 PM
Why on God's given earth would you want that [frick]er Brett RATner to direct anything, the only thing he should be director of is an old folks home gettin ready for a bingo game, yelling B4

Brett Ratner is the biggest doucher of all directors, he falls in the same category with Dakota Fanning, Kirsten Dunst and Kristen Bell. They should form a club call the Big Time Doucher Society
LaffaTaffa - 5/7/2009, 10:22 PM
Hey i just watched PUSH with Dakota Fanning! Somehow, she reminded me of a 50 year old Goldie Hawn.
goldie
Betty - 5/7/2009, 10:35 PM
I miss when Goldie Hawn was at least mildly attractive.
SGA - 5/8/2009, 12:20 AM
MMMMM SGA what u on about look at her in that pic man!!!! I'D DO HER!!! ; ) Heh heh heh : D
LEEE777 - 5/8/2009, 12:23 AM
come on bitches
nick cage for conans abs
darthstern - 5/8/2009, 2:06 AM
Going back to old Conan. I thought I read something about Thusla Doom movie being made is that still in the process or did they just skip it all together.
thwip284 - 5/8/2009, 4:41 AM
@ Keven:

U ned 2 git restlar, WWE, Hueg liek ceeena, LOL, WOLVERINE SUCKd MAN,FUKEN FOX.

*shakes pointy stick*
TheJester - 5/8/2009, 5:16 AM
Man I'm glad Ratner is off the project.
Bandrews1 - 5/8/2009, 6:14 AM

spanky - 5/8/2009, 6:38 AM
Yeah @Spanky@ Goldie Hawns a cutie hubba hubba!! ; )
LEEE777 - 5/8/2009, 7:41 AM
Thank the Lord!
CHAS65 - 5/8/2009, 8:05 AM

remakes equals dejavu biitchess
loganaspatch - 5/8/2009, 8:17 AM
Why does everyone always say wreslers for movies they always suck!

HuXli - 5/8/2009, 8:41 AM
I remember when Nic Cage was awe....awe never mind, he's always sucked.

Wrestling's gay and wrestlers cannot act...haven't you ever watched? The only one kinda exception is Dwayne Johnson (notice I didn't call him The Rock? He does have an actual name, wrestling geeks).

It doesn't have to have top-notch acting, I mean, let's remember, they will be playing a Barbarian. Barbarian's were not exactly known for their intellectual prowess. Keep the spoken lines to a minimum and you open up the role to more actors (or whoever ends up playing the part).

Keep the action scenes crisp and have an actual story and it just might be entertaining. I mean, the original Conan didn't exactly have Oscars being thrown at the actors.

- TheJester

What? lol. I can't handle people sometimes. Therefore I just can't handle theJester at all. I don't even know what this statement means. If someone this bright thinks that Wolverine sucked then I don't have any sort of empathy to their review.
Keven - 5/8/2009, 11:09 AM
Thank God Ratner is out! I bet the "timing" issue is just a cloud wall excuse...
Inohaku - 5/8/2009, 11:14 AM
Keven: I was trying to make a funny....referencing another thread.

think about it. Let it sink in.






TheJester - 5/8/2009, 1:22 PM
That pic of Goldie Hawn made me throw up on my dick.
BillyBlack - 5/8/2009, 5:30 PM
GotDamnit BillyBlack!!! hilarious!
shibazz - 5/8/2009, 5:58 PM
BillyBlack--ffsssHA!

dizzle716-- Wrestlers cant act? Do you think arnold could act when he did Conan?
Betty - 5/8/2009, 11:49 PM
Ron Pearlman did the voice of Conan for the PS3 and 360 game and it sounded awesome also he looks kinda like Conan, but alas he isn't buff enough.
Osiris - 5/9/2009, 1:04 PM
@Betty: Hence the fact that I said:
"It doesn't have to have top-notch acting, I mean, let's remember, they will be playing a Barbarian. Barbarian's were not exactly known for their intellectual prowess."

And no, they can't act. Which is why they're in wrestling not part of the SAG.
