Robert Rodriguez
Previous work: Desperado, From Dusk ‘Till Dawn, Sin City, Spy Kids
Why he could be great: Like McTeigue, he knows how to stretch the budget.
Plus, he has a singular visual style and a way with interesting action. Conceivably, he could also shoot the movie in a Sin City CG fashion, allowing for all manner of creatures and battles.
And he’s done his research already – since he’s still busy trying to get the Red Sonja film off the ground.
Why we’re not so sure: We'd love to see a flick where Conan wanders from town to town with a treasure chest full of weird weapons, or even a flick which starts out as a sword and sandals epic, then turns into a vampire gorefest halfway through.
What we don't want to see is Conan team up with a couple of wisecracking kids to take down a cartoon villain played by Sly Stallone. If that's okay with you.
