Rat Leaves Another One Behind

Joe Gatta, the producer behind the upcoming planned reboot of the "Conan," franchise, tells Empire Magazine that attached director Brett Ratner is no longer on the project.

"We're currently in the process of hiring a director. 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" says Gatta.



A rumor at Firstshowing.net suggests that Ratner's replacement might just be James McTeigue...

Despite having no helmer, production on the film is due to get underway on August 24th in Bulgaria.

Ratner seems to lose out on more flicks than he actually directs--Guess that's why it seems like he always has a full plate...
