Conan 3 Derailed

[Gservo]

The IGN FilmForce is reporting a rumor that the proposed sequel film King Conan: Crown of Iron has derailed. Citing anonymous sources, the site reported that Conan Properties Inc., which owns the rights to the Conan franchise, has not renewed the film option held by Warner Brothers and producers Larry and Andy Wachowski. Warner and the Wachowskis (The Matrix) were developing the film with writer/director John Milius and star Arnold Schwarzenegger.

But, according to the sources, the site reported that Conan Properties was frustrated with the film's slow development process. The Wachowskis were reportedly not going to start work on the film until after they've completed the upcoming two sequels to The Matrix.

With Milius and Schwarzenegger no longer involved, Conan Properties wants to set up Conan at another studio, with the hopes of casting a younger star and producing a cheaper film, the site reported.

Conan without Arnie simply won't work,
and frankly I would have thought that the Warchowski brothers would DEFINATELY have been worth waiting for.

Its amazing how stupid executives can be sometimes..... I would have liked to have seen a 3rd Conan film, perhaps based around one of the short stories written by Howard. There are several I think could have been appropriate..... :(
