Conan Movie Announced!

In the wake of the San Diego Comic Con and the astounding success of The Dark Knight, movie production companies are tripping over themselves announcing new movies based on comics, fantasy, etc. This is great news for Conan fans!

All we know so far is that the film has entered pre-production over at Lionsgate Films with a projected release date of 2009. That's not too far away, so I hope they're not rushing it. The script was written by Thomas Dean Donnelly (Sahara) and directed by Xavier Gens (Hitman).

Apparently, Lionsgate is talking about this being the start of a whole new series of films. No word on casting yet.

I'll keep you all posted!
