Sean Hood to rewrite Conan screenplay… again!

Deadline just announced, that the Conan Movie screenplay is getting another rewrite, this time by the hand of Sean Hood, also a horror interested writer, just like Andrew Lobel it seems.

The nature of a screenplay is that it tends to be rewritten several times before the cameras roll and there are several reasons for this to happen; One obviously being that it’s not good enough in general, the other ones involve the quality of the characters, depth, flow and very importantly budgeting. A script has to be budgeted and sometimes a writer is asked to rewrite, or put a section in or out depending on the budget. We don’t know the reason for this continued rewrite or polish, since nothing was said about the scope or the reasons for the rewrite.

These last two writers involved seem to have a lot of talent on their side and are much less commercial than the Donnelly/Oppenheimer team, which in my opinion is always a good thing when it comes to movie screenplays and I personally hope, that even if the movie is not REH, they have the power to turn it at least into an enjoyable fantasy movie. (I know, we have enough of those already and REH was supposed to have his turn now… )

    A rewrite is most welcome. But this close to the actual filming, i suspect it wont provide us with any major changes, or REH satisfaction. As mentioned, re writes are pretty common in the process of making a movie. Lets just hope its for the better and not just to fit the cast better.
