Just use Basil Poledouris' score and the film will be decent even if the script and acting suck.

VERHOVEN, HE'D BE PERFECT FOR CONAN..PERFECT. JUST THE RIGHT AMOUNT OF HUMOR AND PURE BARBARIC ACTION WITH A GOOD STORY.

Ahnold you'd betta staht to pump some iyon. I'm sure he'll get in great shape...or maybe they'll just play up the old warrior look all the way. I'm thinking at some point he'll take his shirt off or whatever animal robe he's got on. Its good to have him back!

Verhoeven sounds like a cool choice.
Im not really sure is Arnie the PERFECT CHOICE... but he did good enough job in the original.

The original movie is special for me only in nostalgia level. It has certain magic in it even its not totally faithful adaptation of Conan. James Earl Jones rocks as the villain and script is pretty good. Its hell of a better movie than that crappy remake. In which only good thing was the style. Momoa would have been alot better if they had better script and director. Its hard to make a good role if you dont have stuff to work with.

Hope they change that title by the way. King Conan is much better.

!0 years ago I would have been pumped for this. I wanted King Conan more than anything. But now, unfortunately I have my concerns. An undertaking of this magnitude cannot be taken lightly. Conan the Barbarian was a masterpiece. Conan the Destroyer...not so much. Hopefully everyone involved understands that. Conan the Barbarian was no light hearted romp through fantasy land. Oliver Stone made sure of that. Who's writing the script? If you want a sure fire success I think you need to go back to the beginning. Oliver Stone. Get Ridley Scott to direct. Of course the original score is an absolute must, that goes without saying. I'm just skeptical about how hollywood handles movies these days, and I'm not sure if they will let this movie be what it needs to be. You can almost be guaranteed that there's going to be some bullshit Shitta LaPoof upstart thrown into the mix to make this some kind of father/son buddy crap to appeal to the Twilight crowd and that, quite frankly will not [frick]ing do. Does Arnold still have what it takes? He's proven time and time again that his integrity is for sale, but at the same time he's no idiot. Does he respect the original film enough to do what needs to be done? Plus he's hardly the draw he used to be. He really needs to surprise everyone and win back some respect by giving Hollywood the big [frick] YOU salute and make a movie that KICKS SERIOUS ASS. R is a must. Lets have a [frick]ing bloodbath dude. Don't be a puss.

I can't wait. But I would have to say no on Verhoeven. Don't get me wrong, I love his 90's stuff, but I don't think he's the right choice for this.

If Verhoevan directs Conan with Weta visuals I will explode hard in my pants.

If Verhoeven is involved...Well,"I'll buy THAT for a dollar!"

The man loves his gore-see Robocop and Starship Troopers for proof....

This would please Crom,high on his mountain...

I hope this movie is good. The last Conan movie (2011) was dogshit. Jason Mamoa looked the part but he couldn't act his way out of Crom's nutsack. Now with Arnie back, the Cimmerian's future looks bright again.

For the ppl who say Arnold can get in shape he knows his body and what it takes for him to be in good shape enough where you'll believe like yea I can see that so and the way ppl are talking about this project you know they have he passion for it and I like that

@Ohthepurdue No one can escape Croms nut sack. You can't fault him for that. Crom laughs at everyones four winds dude! Duh ;)

Jason Mamoa was a great cast and has a lot of cool roles left to play in his career. He's gonna' be fine.., I agree though, his Conan movie was awful!

If King Conan gets Weta and people come on board that really get that first film.., this will be very anticipated by me. Basil(Starship Troopers, Robocop, Conan the Barbarian '82, Red Dawn '83)was one of the most underrated greats and it sucks they cannot hire him to work on this. Giacchino(?), Shore or Zimmer would be good for this project. I dig Paul Leonard-Morgan, Martinez, John Murphy and his collaborators as well, but I would not recommend them for this project. The score is just as important as the script and how much digital coverup they do on Arnold if he in fact is shirtless in this. I could see an aged King Conan not shirtless however and still kicking ass! Imagine Aragorn topless throughout the LOTR trilogy. :-D Sorry, just thought of the It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia "FIght Club" episode from season 2 where Charlie won't take his shirt off.

The scene right after Conan is freed and he evades the wolves by falling into the tomb is a great cinematic moment! The score, the pace.., classic stuff.

:-P Awesome and thank you!

I think back in the 80's viewers accepted Arnold for what he was...a well-muscled guy on screen who couldn't act. Today, I don't think viewing audiences are as accepting of his inability to act. Even if he does get back into shape, it won't make up for his poor acting skills.

SpideyQuad - 1/25/2013, 7:04 PM
I am not so sure. He wasn't moving around very freely in this latest movie the last stand.

We will see

@Ranger14

Which is why the best in the industry need to be onboard. I'm not delusional and Arnold has the recent media shenanigans, but if you time this release correctly and once again.., don't half-ass it.., it could be good. Acting and Arnold are like street dogs at 2:30 am. The best thing ever.., but yeah. :-D

This could be a really awesome film; key is to not go Die Hard 5 with the younger ensembles and constantly say the words "Game of Thrones" whilst doing pre-pro. Stay positive. I contradict myself a lot.., but yeah mate.., stay positive.

This has a lot of potential to kick ass! Arnold is Conan.

That Conan O'Brien pic as CONAN looks hilarious.
It does remind me of the end of the original Conan movie where Conan is King on the throne and he has a beard.

Arnold should grow a beard for the new Conan film..look more seasoned & regal.
AlexDeLarge87
AlexDeLarge87 - 1/26/2013, 7:21 AM
Make him sport really old look and im sure he will pull it off.



Hope we get to see younger Conan too played by Jason Momoa or Daniel Cudmore.
