Arnold Schwarzenegger may be pissed, but I could not be happier! YAH!!!!!! I am so happy that they are re setting the entire Conan mythos. It is just what it needs. It will not be a remake. unlike what most will claim, because Conan lived in short stories and books decades before the movie was anything. And BTW, the movie is WEAK SAUCE and no very faithful to the original stories at all. So will Conan kill once again? Oh yes. The director Boaz Yakinhas stated that he wants to go off the books, not comic nor the movies. That means a whole super phat helping of the "Ultra Violence", lots of sex,. mass killings, tons of babes, magis and stealing left and right. :hugegrin: Makes me grin right now. What say you all?

PS, they need a nobody. Some one who is either an actor with skills that is huge or a body builder type who has skills. Just as long as he is HUGE.

Another good thing of note is that the guy Yankin is apparently a massive Conan fan and has read all the book for years. He is very passionate about getting the true Conan universe right. That means a very hard R or an NC-17 rating. SWEET!! No kids need apply please.....

June 15, 2006 Warner Bros. Pictures is eyeing an early 2007 start of production for CONAN THE BARBARIAN. Boaz Yakin (FRESH, REMEMBER THE TITANS) has been asked to write and possibly direct the film after his pitch impressed the studio.

Ah, Mr Yakin- This will be a badass film then :thumpsup:

Ha, rumoured actors to play Conan include Triple H (HHH) from WWE and The Rock.

The Rock suuuuuuuuuuuuucked in Doom and he can't pull off the "I am a badass warrior" look without looking corny.

I haven't seen anything from Triple H but at least he looks more like Conan.

Not very excited about this movie but just with The Punisher, should be a great movie to watch once it's readily available (i.e: someone from my family rents it and I just sit and watch it with them).

It better not be Triple H or The Rock or any wrestler for that matter. I would rather have arnold.

I liked the old conan movies though and red sonya.

Crom and his demons!

I really liked the first movie and the second one had its moments, but it was a lot weaker and had too many annoying characters.

Hopefully they don't hold anything back in this movie and find the right person to play Conan.
