Well, Mike - looks like Robert Rodriguez done got himself a gig. SuperHero Hype reports he will be directing a "new script" of King Conan: Crown of Iron. Good thing you didn't seriously consider him for Elric, eh? Poor Robert Howard, such a sad life, and now all busy spinning in his grave.
Oh, yeah - and it also says John Milius and/or Oliver Stone will be in no way connected. (It doesn't say the blockheads responsible for Conan the Destroyer will not be involved, but here's hoping!)
Also heard Alan Moore's V for Vendetta is busily filming (okay, so I'm 'way behind the curve! I got a LIFE! Or unreasonable facsimile thereof.) Suggested elsewhere that there should be a board to vet out really bad adaptations. Suggest we call it the Script Oversight Board (as I've been an S.O.B. for a long time.) I've volunteered to chair. Want in on the fun?
