Tim Burton may tell the story of Maleficent (from Sleeping Beauty), which sounds good on paper, but what is this but a slightly different take on Wicked?
Found at the Torchonline in the midst of many, many little stories.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Also, from that page, it appears that Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan. And an offer's out to Mickey Rourke to play his father.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
You know what's weird to me about that trailer? Hearing Corddry swear. Because I only see him on TV, so in my head, he just doesn't say "fuck." Which I realize is objectively ridiculous.

ita, you said "Conan" and I thought "O'Brian" and was confused.

I was torn between that and "the Barbarian", but I'm guessing neither is right.

Ooh, interesting. He's also playing Khal Drogo in Game of Thrones (a very important and somewhat Conan-like character).

One of the Song of Fire & Ice sites has already noted that shooting for Game of Thrones and for the Conan movie shouldn't conflict. (Should GoT get picked up that is.)

It really better get picked up, dammit.
Also, I think the piece of GoT casting I'm most excited about is Rory McCann as Sandor Clegane. Apparently the screen test was one of the pivotal scenes between him and Sansa Stark, and both McCann and the young girl (who got the part) gave everybody chills.
Yarp.
