Nyhed: Brett Ratner ude af "Conan"

Brett Ratner ude af "Conan"

Dårlig timing betyder ny instruktør.

Sidste måned kunne Brett Ratner afsløre, at han skulle være instruktør på den nye filmatisering af "Conan" fra 1982, der kickstartede Arnold Schwarzeneggers karriere.

Nu kan filmens producer, Joe Gatta, så fortælle overfor Empire Magazine, at Ratner ikke længere er tilknyttet projektet.

"We're currently in the process of hiring a director," forklarer Gatta. "For the past six months we were discussing the movie with Brett Ratner, and for more timing issues than anything else we had to part ways with Brett. We all wanted him to do it, believe me; just the timing didn't work."

Han tilføjer: "We have a potential start-date on 'Conan' of August 24. And we'll be shooting in Bulgaria. I would say though the emphasis is on Conan [rather than Red Sonja]. It's our crown jewel here at the company and that will be the leader. Red Sonja probably won't happen until next year, as far as making it goes. So we want to launch Conan and reinvent the franchise."
