Crom has summoned a pair of writers for CONAN!

Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. Lionsgate has finally shown some movement on their resurrection of CONAN hiring Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain to pen the newest filmic adaptation of Robert E. Howard's sword-swinging badass. The pair also scripted OUTLANDER which hasn't been released yet, but looks kickass. Viking and aliens... two great tastes that taste great together, right?




These two aren't proven yet, but they seem to be setting themselves up as potential geek idols if OUTLANDER ends up as cool as it looks and if they can knock a great asskicking Conan story out of the park. Thoughts?
