CONAN and the Wachowski Brothers?

The Arnold Fans website is reporting "it now seems that Andy and Larry Wachowski --the Wachowski Brothers as they are known-- are being courted by the WB to direct KING CONAN: CROWN OF IRON a.k.a. CONAN THE CONQUEROR. They were once going to produce and write King Conan under Milius before they left the project to pursue other things."

The article also goes on to note their source said, '...the Wachowski Brothers are comic book geeks and Conan is a comic book property, Warner Bros. would be stupid not to make a deal with them to direct the next Conan film and get Arnold Schwarzenegger in the mix.' He then concluded with 'the WB have been very supportive of the Brothers so I'm sure a deal will be made and fans can stop sending Warner Brothers death threats for killing KING CONAN with Arnie.'

Back in January 2004, IGN Film Force had reported their trusted sources told them "Larry and Andy Wachowski have ankled King Conan: Crown of Iron, the third movie featuring Robert E. Howard's barbarian hero. The Wachowski brothers were to have produced King Conan with John Milius onboard to write and direct it... Sources advised IGN FilmForce that the Wachowskis who had reportedly clashed with Milius over the tone and direction of the film left King Conan of their own volition."

Thus whether the brothers are back or not must remain in the unconfirmed rumor category at this time, but click here to read more. 

Thanks to Shannon for the heads up.

I agree, this has a lot of potential, I just wonder about Arnie's advanced age. I mean, the guy has had some serious heart surgery whilst running the state of California not to mention falling off motorcycles and all that. Like Indie 4, if they don't do it soon the main character will need a walker with a battle axe holster attached.

What great news. The 1st Conan film was cool, but I would love to see this material in the hands of people who care about it.

I loved the first movie. The second is a comedy, isn't it? I say they start over. Like Batman.

I doubt Robert E. Howard would have liked to hear His hero refered as "comic book property"
