Rob Zombie to Direct Conan...mmmmmaybe

This is according to the website Bloody Disgusting (a source of mostly horror related film gossip). The reporter of the story seems rather enthusiastic, which seems a bit odd. Most seem to agree quite 'roundly that Zombie butchered the Halloween franchise (pun intended). Must be some sort of zealot.

While many say that Zombie does have at least some visual flare (this is something I have no experience to weigh in on), I don't think Conan is something that needs a "flashy" approach. Now mind you, my definition of flashy may be a bit conservative- there were certain shots in the LOTR Trilogy that I thought were a little over the top. But I don't know if a music video styled direction is what this kind of project needs.
