During the New York Comiccon Comic author Rob Liefeld talked about a Youngblood movie project helmed by Brett Ratner. In this interview Liefeld mentioned that the Youngblood movie would take precedence over the Conan project for Ratner:

Liefeld told us Reliance and Ratner want to get the project off the ground “asap”, and mentioned a 2012 release date as “optimal”.

Liefeld also told us that Ratner’s Conan project (which the Hollywood Reporter reported last fall he was an “negotiations” to direct) is behind Youngblood in the director’s pecking order and a deal for that other film was not even finalized as of a few weeks ago.

This can either mean that Ratner is no longer involved with Conan, or that Conan will be moved back or, and with the track record of Liefelds projects this seemed most likley, that Liefeld voiced his wished, rather then and facts.

If all goes well we will see a reboot of the Conan license in form of a movie in 2010. Because that is not so far off, we thought it is time to start a little blog that will collect all available information on exactly this topic: The new Conan movie.

Since this is not meant to be a one or two man show we encourage anyone who wastes spends his time plowing through the internet in search of news regarding this movie and Robert E. Howard in general to join our team of havoc madness and participate in making this the one and only and best place to find information on the new Conan movie.

We hope you enjoy the futur of this little project as much as we enjoy bringing it to you and that it will flourish and rise (don’t forget to bookmark it or register for the RSS!).

Cya soon!
