Sweet! Sad that Poledouris died... Conan films need that kind of soundtrack.

If they make a great story and the scale of the film is Lord of the Rings big and has lots of familiar characters. Im in.

Hope they cast Daniel Cudmore as younger Conan. They are going to show younger Conan too right?

I want Mamoa back as Conan. His Conan was much more interesting than Arnold's. I liked all of the Conan movies, but Mamoa was just a better depiction.

The first movie had an amazing soundtrack. It really made the film seem better than it actually was.

The recipe that made Conan awesome was
1. Jon Milius-directing and dedication to the character and source material.
2. Dino DeLaurentiis producing an ambitious for the tiem project
3. Basil Poledouris - timeless and brilliant score
4. Mako's Narration - haunting and one of a kind
5. James Earl Jones' acting helped set a dramatic and shakespearian tone
6. Violence, Grit, non-romantic sex, barbarism and boozing
7. Visual aesthetic that was based more on realism and relying on set-design and location rather than special effect
8. No - CGI!!!!!!


Arnold like 5 minutes worth of dialogue. Although the character is quite verbal in the books/comics I think Milius made the right choice to make Conan a character of little words ( for obvious reasons ). I can easily see them allowing Arny to take certain liberties with the role and throwing in stupid catch phrases which will kinda ruin it.

As far as Dwayne the Rock Johnson goes.. is there no other strong guy in hollywood? Dwayne doesnt' look White enough to play conan.

I hope they use the same music from the first movies it was great . Maybe in a few more years they could digitally recreate a young Arnold and make many more with muscles lol .

I don't like the idea that they even ignore Arnie's Conan sequel. Why?!? Why not make the new Conan a threequel?

And couldn't the Mamoa Conan movie serve as kind of prequel to the original one? Then Mamoa could be Conan in Flashbacks from the new movie. Or did the events in the 2011 movie contradict some of the other movies' events? Haven't seen Arnie's conan movies for years, so can anyone tell me that?

Not saying that Jason Momosa's (sp?) was the greatest thing ever, but holy hello kitty was it far superior to Arnold's Conan... let alone that Arnold is maybe one of the worst actors of all time.

The first Conan movie had a script written by Oliver Stone.

It also had Boobies. LOTS of Boobies.

Wish they adapted the tales of Conan's pirate career,when he was also known as Amra.......

Hope Anrie gets really good in shape or they at least use this software



They could also use it to make Carrie Fisher and Mark Hamill fit for Episode 7.

You need to take your own advice and go away or die already as well.

Have respect little boy but what can I expect of children?

He's too old to be resurrecting this role. His youth and physique were the only thing that gave him any presence on the screen when he was younger. Now he has neither. He certainly can't act. Rental at best for me...if that.

The main reason Conan is so fondly remmebered is BECAUSE of Arnold. I'll see this. I don't know about Twins 2, though. Oh hell, I'll see that too. Ya really want to turn some heads, put him in Fast 7 (since Fast 6 is already done). Only they may have to call it Not-So-Fast 7, at that point.

The ONLY thing good about Conan the Barbarian was the music and the actress who played Valeria. The rest of the movie was just a load of bad fight choreography and campy costumes.

Arnie's "Dumb" version of the character barely had dialogue because his acting was so poor. All he did was pose, pose looking sullen, slowly perform telegraphed fight choreography, pose again looking sullen and lost.

Those movies flopped back then and they'll flop now!

^^^^if this guy is talking seriously - poor bastard! He hasn't a [frick]ing clue! LOL
Conan 82 is an epic and a classic - in all categories! And Its meanings aren't in the surface.

My most anticipated film, even more than star wars episodes 7, 8, 9.

So much talk of Conan, so little mention of Robert E Howard. So sad.

I wish more people would read his stories, so that they could realize how good a REAL Conan film would be.

AnungUnRama@ The first movie was an actual masterpiece. Like an actual cinematic masterpiece. Of art.
The second movie was a cheap, but slightly enjoyable, piece of '80s shite.
In Red Sonja, he wasn't even Conan.
And the reboot contradicts the events of the first film. In the first film it is Thulsa Doom that kills Conan's parents. Both of them, at the same time. It's completely different in the Momoa version.
Neither version of the events of Conan's origins are faithful to the books, but at least the first one had legal reasons for this.
I would never, ever, ever, in good consience recommend Conan The Destroyer, Red Sonja, Kull the Conqueror, Solomon Kane or the 2011 version of Conan the Barbarian to anyone, ever.
But I would and do reccomend the original Conan the Barbarian to everyone.
