Movie Rocker Report

I appears doubtful that Brett Ratner will direct Conan.

A third Conan movie moves closer, and Mr Ratner is apparently set to sign on the dotted line…

IGN Movies has learned from a longtime reliable source that classic science fiction hero Buck Rogers will return to theaters courtesy of producer Avi Lerner's Millenium Films, the outfit behind the recent revivals of Rambo and Conan. Not only that but we were told that none other than comic book icon-turned-filmmaker Frank Miller will direct it!

I've got Conan. I've got E.T. I've got Vigo the Carpathian. Who could ask for anything more?

How many of you grew a beard to support the writer's strike? Conan and Letterman attempted but failed by shaving before the strike was over. Here is a video of a kid he grew a manly beard back in December to support the Writer's and did not shave until the official end of the strike. Here is a video of the SHAVE - What a true American Hero!!!

We're not really sure what any of this actually means, but it was announced the other day via a new Myspace page that Rob Zombie's next film (after the animated El Superbeasto) will be entitled Tyrannosaurus Rex. This should lay to rest some of those unfounded rumors floating around the net that Zombie would be attached to a new Conan film.

With the writers' strike coming to a close, producers of the new Conan project are on the hunt for a director. According to IGN, both Xavier Gens and Rob Zombie have already discussed jumping behind the camera.

By Krom, the powers in Hollywood have gathered to bring the legendary Conan back to the big-screen! But where's Arnold?

We're going to get a new slate of Conan movies beginning next year. At this point, there are no plans for Conan the Embattled Governor, but you never know.

If you ask us, the new movie will be a flop, destined to hit bargain basement bins the globe over - they'll probably cast some skinny pretty boy in the lead role, have a kick-ass female character just as tough, if not tougher than Conan, and the movie's bad guy will probably be British - Jeremy Irons or someone of that ilk.
