John McTiernan
Previous work: Die Hard, Predator, The 13th Warrior
Why he could be great: We’ve plucked him from one of the rumour lists, since he was attached to the film for a while.
He’s one of the best action directors out there – and his filmography speaks for itself. And with The 13th Warrior (though it’s not an amazing film), he proved he knows how to handle swordplay.
Why we’re not so sure: Are we ready for a flick which sees Conan trapped in a massive cave with a bunch of Viking terrorists who have taken his wife captive, forcing him to kill them one by one, whilst spouting a bunch of catchphrase-friendly death-insults? Frankly, yes.
