Conan casting news from Daniel "Colossus" Cudmore!

My vote goes to Cudmore... he's younger looking which give him time to evolve in future Conan movies and that 6'7" height of his is rather imposing

I coul'd see Cudmore making an excellent Conan. He has the look. I ve not seen him in anything but Xmen. I would rather they didn't go with an Arnold clone for this.

Nice find webhead.

Interesting. Every movie I've seen him in, he's only said about 3 words, so I can't really comment on his acting abilities. But, I would rather see someone like him get the role than see a Arnie clone, like old blue eyes above me said.

My vote's Ronald Kickinger, Cudmore doesn't look right to me.

Wait, doesnt Conan have to say more than 5 words in the movie so I dont think Cudmore would be good for the role lol

But seriously he might do a good job

Cudmore, and this isn't gay, is to pretty. He just doesn't say "I'm a super bad ass barbarian who lived through hell and can kill anything on this whole friggin planet while incorporating only about 5 - 10 lines of dialog". I would still rather he get the part of the two though.

Give it that "300" look !

If it was between those two I would say Cudmore, he looks the part and the other guy is way too bulky.

Awesome that they are going with a darker feel. Speaking of Red Nails though, anybody know when the Red Nails cartoon movie is coming out?

you're right skunkape, that's what I.m looking for!! the style of 300!! and neither one is good for the role!
one is too skinny, the other one looks like too much androgenics. bodybuilding is great, but conan shouldn't be that big in musclemass!

than feller or keller or what was his name(really forgot his name)is a better choice!

Cudmore

Okay so everyone's big issue is, can Cudmore act? My big question is, does it matter? Has anyone ever watched an Arnold movie and said, Damn!! Arnie is such a great actor!! Man I was completley convinced it wasn't a tumor and I totally felt the need to get to da choppah! Seriously, Conan does not need an actor, it needs a frigging huge dude that can kill the shit out of everything and make 300 look like a Disney flick. Who's with me?

Cudmore can act better than kickinger but still... i dunno. DDD has picks of Paul Telfer i think his name is. He's a good choice. If there's a good enough director on board to whip Cudmore into shape, i wouldn't be against it. NO JPR!!!

Paul Telfer is CONAN!!!

We need a PIC SHAMAN dude!! ; D

Some one said x4 haha NONONONONONONO!

My pick is for the second dude, Roland Kickinger

You don't need to be able to act to pull off conan, I mean arnie can't act his way out of a paper bag lol you think he was cast for that part for his acting?

Kickinger's build is very much like Arnold was, a bit bigger, but seeing him with arnie's face was awesome in Terminator. I loved it. Being that Conan the Barbarian was and is one of my all time favorites since childhood, I would love to see Kickinger, accent and all, play Conan, the only question is, can he act at all. We know Arnold was never acclaimed for his acting in Conan, but he still WAS Conan in the first one. I can't even bare the thought of the horid destroyer crapquel. Anyway, better him than Tripple H. I think Cudmore would be awesome as either Superman or Captain America.

I'm not saying Daniel couldn't do it, I liked him as colossus, I just hope he gets bigger, which I'm sure he would, he has the genetics for it. You're right about the 6'7" superman, that would throw things off a bit, but I do think he would do well as Captain America, except for the fact he's already colossus.

The new Conan movie has the green light. It starts filming in 2 months. First off the actor they get needs to have acting skill because the real conan is not some big meat head that walks around and hacks people in 2 for the fun of it. Arnold played a vary bad and unfaithfull conan. If you would like to know what Conan is reaily like then pick up a book. I dont think Cudmore is to big or to small for the part I think he has the perfict size and build for the role. Conan is not some juiced up steroid freak with muscle on top of muscle. The muscle Conan has is from a hard life lived and genetics. In REH's story's he often said that conan moved like a panther when he was fighting. And I dont think Cudmore is to pretty of a man to play Conan but he dose have manly good looks. And when you put some fake scars on his face along with that magical movie make-up the manly good looks turn to rugged good looks. And that is what conan needs. This movie if made well can be bigger than Lord Of The Rings.
