Brett Ratner Says Conan Reboot Will be Hard R
Conan the Barbarian (Remake, 2010) Movie — By Nix on April 17, 2009
Let’s face it, there are two names that can make a fanboy cringe when it’s attached to their favorite object of geek: Uwe Boll and Brett Ratner. So when it was confirmed that Ratner would be helming the “Conan” remake, there weren’t a whole lot of happy faces out there in fanboy land. So what’s been going on with the reboot, and will Ratner’s ever-expanding list of “movies to do” keep him from doing “Conan” after all? One can only hope.
Movieline caught up to The Rat, and asked him about “Conan”. Says the director of the “Rush Hour” movies:
“Yes. That’s something I’m actively attached to. We’re just budgeting the script and trying to figure out when’s a good time and where to shoot it. It’s kind of a global landscape.”
On some rumors that The Rat was looking at a PG-13 version of Conan:
“No. That’s ridiculous. It’s a hard R.”
So there you have it, kids. Brett Ratner will make a Conan movie unlike anything you’ve ever seen. Hell, it might even be better than the John Milius version. Um, I’m just saying. It’s possible. Okay, maybe not so much, but you know, until it’s actually in the can and delivered to the theaters, just about anything could happen. It could get lost, for instance, and wouldn’t we all be happier for it?
Below: This is what Conan thinks of your reboot, Brett.

I think It’s great that Brett Ratner took this job, he’s suitable for Conan, it could be great.
This will be horrible, the original is a classic and without John Milius and Basil Poledouris it won’t be good. He’ll probably have a hip hop soundtrack and cast Chris Tucker as Conan.

Conan the Gangster!
New title: Get Babarian or die trying
go to You Tube Drasko Andjic Conan Casting 2010,he is the beast chois for new Conan
They’re casting that slim, samoan-looking guy Momoa from Stargate Atlantis as Conan? He’s too thin. Every Conan book cover that I’ve ever seen has a big broad- shouldered sumerian. All this guy has is the skin tone and the hair. Pathetic. Plus, he’ll have to lose the fu-man-chu that he sports in ‘Atlantis’. Momoa would make a good Subotai, but not a good Conan. it has become an annoying practice in Hollywood last decade or so to do a remake and revamp the main character(Cedric the Entertainer as Ralph Cramden for instance). Trying to draw in a new crowd, but driving away the old die-hards.
