7 Directors Who Could Make Conan

James McTeigue is the latest rumour. But what about…

Neil Marshall

Previous work: Dog Soldiers, The Descent, Doomsday

Why he could be great: He’s got ‘80s movies running through his bloodpacks. And he knows how to shoot a fun action scene or two.

His previous work has mostly been low budget, and we really want to see what the TF favourite can do when given some more cash.

It’d be brutal, bloody and intense, we’d guess.

Why we’re not so sure: For Doomsday Marshall mashed up Aliens, Mad Max and Escape From New York. But what if he gets his '80s influences confused, and combines Pretty In Pink, The Breakfast Club and Mannequin for Conan?

We'd all love to see a fllm in which Conan overcomes detention to construct a pretty dress for prom, thanks to the help from his imaginary Egyptian goddess friend - the question is, would the studio? It's far too great a risk, in our opinion.
