Hollywood runs on money, bad movies don't make money, thus they try make movies that people want to see, and suprisingly they suceed sometimes.Yes they fail alot but if they were not making money then they would be out of business. For what it is worth the vast majority of the decision makes are alot smarter than any of us, they do what they love and make money by the wheelbarrow load, that seems pretty slick to me. It took the Conan Property years to recover from the crappy second movie, and for that matter if it wasn't for the Scorpion King making a huge pile of money then it would still be a dead property. I don't think the Rock will be in it as he will probably making Scorpion King 2 in the next year or so. The worry I have is that they will mess up through impatience, oh and the whole kinder and gentler bit is just silly. They need to head to the gym and find a new guy, there are not that many actors who are built good enough for the role. I also fear the chance they will go for a wrestler, I love wrestling but man Stone Cold as Conan makes my head hurt. They need a back to basics script with a good balance, the first movie had a decent balance, the second movie was just crap because they tried to have wacky stuff in it. The most important thing they need is a good director and one who is a actual fan of Conan. The bad thing about this situation is that the screenplay and the preproduction that was just given up on was looking to be pretty good.As far as Aliens being a dead property, WRONG. Aliens 5 is alive and kicking: <a href="http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/alien5.html" target="_blank">http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/alien5.html</a>Resident Evil dead, WRONG, Resident Evil 2 is in the script phase: <a href="http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/residentevil2.html" target="_blank">http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/details/residentevil2.html</a>I'll give you Street Fighter looks to be dead, good riddance.For that matter if you want a idea of what is in the works check out corona: <a href="http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/filmlistings.html" target="_blank">http://www.corona.bc.ca/films/filmlistings.html</a></blockquote>
