First came strange rumors that RUSH HOUR’s BRETT RATNER wanted to make a movie version of GUITAR HERO with a plot that centered on a small town kid with big rock ‘n roll dreams.
Fantastic idea.
Now it has been sort of confirmed that he will helm the CONAN THE BARBARIAN remake according to an Ain’t It Cool News exclusive.
While AICN’s Moriarty seems most concerned that Ratner is only it for the franchise money, I think whether or not the original Conan, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER will cameo should be our biggest worry — although the thought of an ABRAMS/SHATNER showdown between those two would be hilarious.
Who would have been a better pick to ensure the integrity of this campy cult classic?
