One of Hollywood’s biggest yo-yo properties just sprang back into active development.

Yes, despite the lamentation of the fans at the slow progress, Conan The Barbarian is pushing the giant stone wheel of Warner Brothers once more.

The Wachowski Brothers were attached, then they were off. Robert Rodriguez flirted with the idea, but he was dumped when he left the Director’s Guild Of America to make Sin City.

Now Boaz Yakin – who directed Remember The Titans – is apparently a big fan of Robert E Howard’s barbarian character and plans to reboot the muscle-bound warrior into a more faithful version than either of the Arnie-starring movies.

Warners is itching to get moving on the new version, even suggesting an early 2007 kick-off date for shooting.
