That guy is way too wimpy to play Conan. He better beef up before they shoot, or this will be totally lame.

There basing it on more of the Robert E Howard stories which should be cool however.
Triple H from WWE was rumoured to be Conan at one point

Given that I despise Conan and am a big fan of Triple H I'm extremely pleased that this didn't happen!

How can you not like the original Conan film?
Needless to say, the very idea of this makes me furious. Not because of the fact that I'm a big fan of the films, more because I'm just so sick and tired of Hollywood having no ideas. It's just an easy option to remake things for an audience who are too thick to appreciate the originals because they don't feature good looking teenagers and a nu-metal sound track.

The commentary of the original Conan film is great. Arnie sounds totally off his nut.

I just never have and never will enjoy things like that. Well with you on the second point though. I tend to avoid remakes but the ones I've seen (The Omen, Psycho, Texas Chainsaw Massacre) have all been complete rubbish. |

The only remake I've ever seen is Halloween, and that was so bad boiling to death in a cauldron of diarrhoea sounded appealing. I never want to see another again. I'm not sure what infuriates me more, remakes, or insipid comic book to movie translations (never read the Watchmen, but it's one of the most dreadful films I've ever seen), which never work apart from the original Flash Gordon which is so gay it's great.

I love the way its says the filsm will be more faithful to Howard but when you follow a link about the main characters they're nothing to do with Howard at all. Conan: "He is prepared to die in order to accomplish his goal. What Conan did not expect, was to find a reason to live…". This followed by a female lead who is an expert in martial arts: "She is not in the least intimidated by Conan's size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both"... in other words the usual Hollywood bullshit.
This will be rubbish.
