Rat confirms Conan | Movie News Brett "The Rat" Ratner has been mulling over two high profile projects in the last few weeks - a CONAN (as in CONAN THE BARBARIAN) reboot and the sequel BEVERLY HILLS COP IV - but he's decided to ditch Axel Foley for the time being and actively develop the new adventures of the beefcake warrior. The Rat apparently sparked to the screenplay by Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly and wants to get started on it as soon as Oppenheimer and Donnelly put a polish on the script, incorporating some of The Rat's idea. The Rat hopes to get this baby shot and cut for a 2010 release with Lionsgate hoping to milk this bad boy into a franchise. They're looking to give The Rat 85 million bucks to bring the beefcake and scantily clad babes back. And if anyone can do justice to scantily clad babes, it's snatch magnet The Rat. But don't think he's done with BEVERLY HILLS COP IV either. As soon as he's finished with CONAN, he's gonna be all over that like the playboy twins he routinely bangs. Alright, now that the news has sunk in, let the Rat bashing begin!

Brett Ratner is the Anti-Christ
This guy is my new personal hero. Cause either he has mind control powers or he just knows how to manipulate stupid people into thinking he's talented. Just imagine the shit you could get done if you had his powers. I swear someday we will find out he sold his soul to the devil to become a sucessfull director. Only he forgot to ask for talent and vision. But isn't that how it always turns out

Nobody cares about Conan, sorry Lionsgate but you have a doomed franchise on your hands.

Is it me or is Brett Ratner not a film god. He directed rap videos for Russel Simmons and then jumped to Rush Hour, but what qualifies him as a genius. His movies are standard shot and anything but cinematic. Hollywood today scares me, George Clooney is not Humphrey Bogart, Brad Pitt is not Paul Newman and Brett Ratner isn't Scorcese.

Brett Shat-ner can tongue my bung, it will be the same experience I get from watching his work. At the end I feel cheap, used, dirty and dissapointed somebody else didn't do it better. I have zero interest in Conan, it will no doubt star a wrestler of some sort trying to break into " acting ". As for BHC4, it will be shit and uneccesary and Murphy doesn't deserve a big vehicle since he has no

I agree with mutant_gorilla here.

The Rat should also stay away from Beverly Hills Cop IV.

Geez!
John Milius is probably losing his mind right about now. The Rat? What about the Hack? Another classic about to be trashed. With any luck, Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan will have cameos.

Bring on the surprisingly flat, yet technically accurate, adaptation. Hell, at least it's not Len Wiseman or Paul Greengrass.

I don't care what he does to Conan. Just stay as far away from God of War as possible.
