MOVIEHOLE have posted a report with some new information about the recently renamed Conan the Barbarian courtesy of an "insider". First off is the news that despite shooting on the movie having been finished for a while, some of the cast are having to head on back to Bulgaria for reshoots. Why is this worrying? Well, they're are taking place almost right after the first lot of test screenings!
Here's what their insider had to say about that:
"Okay, but look...some people need to realize this isn’t a film version of the Robert E.Howard books, it’s an interpretation...another spin on the character. It’s a little bit different, but I think it’s fine."
Ah, well that doesnt sound too bad! So, why exactly was "3D" dropped from the movies title? Have they decided it was an unnecessary addition or could it be that they no longer plan on releasing it in that format? Probably not according to another piece of information the insider:
"It could be that they have abandoned 3D but last I heard they were going to shoot some more 3D friendly scenes and then hire a freelance firm to convert it in post"
I suppose that explains the reshoots as well then! I'm not sure about you guys, but I'm liking the look of this movie so far. With a cast that includes the likes of Rachel Nichols, Jason Momoa and Ron Perlman (ok, so maybe it not the world's greatest bunch of actors) I think we should be in for a fun ride when it's released next August! As usual, be sure to share your thoughts below!
(Thanks to Sweetre15 for the heads up on this info!)
