Crom, Scifi.com has the latest on the Conan film properties. Sure Arnold is still out, but we can always hope for that cameo if anything.

Warner Brothers production president Jeff Robinov told the Hollywood North Report Web site that a third Conan the Barbarian live-action movie is in the works and that the studio "is committed to producing the film within the next year."

Warner intends to produce Conan with a big budget, the site reported.

Robinov is reportedly going back to the original Robert E. Howard Conan stories for inspiration. "I love the character," he said. "You have to get to the core of who the Conan character was."

Thanks to Jacob for the tip.

In other Arnold news, actor / director Rob Reiner may still challenge Arnold for Governor should he decide to run for a second term.

Moviehole.net has the scoop!

Filmmaker Rob Reiner (When Harry, Met Sally) tells Moviehole today that he isn't ruling out going up as Governor of California sometime soon.

  Reiner: I have not ruled it out because I'm still invested in California politics and wanting to do good things for children. We've got a ballot initiative that's going to be on the June ballot next year for universal preschool. That's going to give high quality preschool to every four year old in the state which is start the process of transforming our education system. So I am invested and I will continue to do things because I do care about that and if at some point, down the road, I feel that I can be more effective as an elected official then I'll seek that.

Were you pleased that Schwarzenegger's ballots were defeatedŠ

Reiner: I was pleased with that. I actually campaigned against it and I was pleased not because there might not have been merit to some of those initiatives but because the way in which they went about it wasŠ it was like a power grab and it didn't allow the unions and the other side to be participants in the reform. I think if you're going to do any kind of meaningful reform you've got to bring labour leaders and business leaders together to the table to work out differences ­ you don't just do a once-sided power grab and I think that's whatŠ that's what the public saw and they rejected it.

Who do you think is going to be the Democratic candidate?

Reiner: Well there are two right now there's Steve Westley who's the State Controller and there's Phil Angelides who is the State Treasurer and they're both going to be vying for the nomination. They're both good men and I think it'll be a tough primary.

Will Arnold be re-elected?

Reiner: I think he could be. I mean I think it's going to be a tough race.
