‘Conan the Barbarian’ Update

This looks promising…. Check out that poster above!

IGN checked in with its Conan source to find out about the current status of the Barbarian’s big screen return. Nu Image/Millennium Films is producing the new “Conan the Barbarian” movie for Lionsgate.

The site was advised that screenwriters Thomas Dean Donnelly and Joshua Oppenheimer are currently penning their contractual rewrite of the first draft. The filmmakers are still talking to some directors but expect to engage more of them once they have a screenplay everyone is happy with.

Even though everyone is eager to begin production, nothing will move forward until a solid story is in place.
