If you enjoyed the remakes of FRIDAY THE 13TH and THE TEXAS CHAINSAW MASSACRE, then you’re going to love CONAN THE BARBARIAN. That’s because the director of those two uninspired horror movies, Marcus Nispel, has been given the directing duties on the Conan remake. This is thanks to Variety.
Nispel said a lot of crap about the movie like how he will blend his childhood imaginings of the character with the influence of famous Conan illustrations and the influence of such viscerally violent period films as APOCALYPTO. In other words, he’ll be influenced by everything other than the Conan stories written by the creator of Conan, Robert E. Howard.
Is anyone else honestly excited about this choice? I’m seriously curious. They must have really been scraping the bottom of the “no one gives a crap” barrel. I seriously hope they don’t screw this movie up.
