Universal Pictures has set Peter Berg to direct "Bran Mak Morn," an adaptation of the Robert E. Howard fantasy novel series that Working Title Films is mounting as an epic reports Variety.
John Romano is writing the script. Romano will write and Berg will direct the Michael Mann-produced "The Kingdom" at Universal. Berg hopes to make "Bran Mak Morn" his follow-up.
Howard is the creator of muscular period fantasy novels and comics that include Conan the Barbarian and King Kull. 'Bran' mixes the historical with the fantastical as the title character, a mythical king of ancient Britain, forges an alliance with supernatural troops to contest the unstoppable forces of the Roman Empire.
