AICN EXCLUSIVE! By Crom! It Looks Like CONAN Has A Director!

Is McT Directing The New CONAN?!

Hey, everyone. ”Moriarty” here.

And no, I don’t mean McG. He’s got his hands full with the TERMINATOR franchise, and I wish him well with it. It’s not going to be easy. Mostow just barely pulled it off without shitting the bed, and even so, I think T3 is a pale imitation of the first two films.
