It has been a while since there has been some Conan news, but today is the day we get a “possible directors” list for the long-in-gestation film.
Latino Review notes that Brett Ratner, known best for his Rush Hour films, met with Nu Image about directing the film, but wasn’t offered the gig. In fact, several directors have met with the company, who was desperately courting Robert Rodriguez for the film, though he can’t do it due to his busy schedule.
Other directors were mentioned, including Juan Carlos Fresnadillo (28 Weeks Later), Neil Marshall (The Descent), James McTeigue (V for Vendetta) and The Strause Brothers (AVP: Requiem).
No one has yet been confirmed.
