CRAVE Online: Yeah. Is there a story you'd like to do for the next movie?

Jason Momoa: I wrote it.

CRAVE Online: Did you really?

Jason Momoa: Yeah, so we're waiting to see if they'll accept it.

CRAVE Online: Is it original or did you adapt it from something?

Jason Momoa: It will mostly be... It's character-adapted, because I really want to get into more of the mythical creatures, you know?

CRAVE Online: Oh yeah.

Jason Momoa: We wanted to go there, but having Clash of the Titans, and coming out against that, we wanted to put the budget into some other things. We just couldn't hit... We couldn't get to that level with [...] the visual effects and stuff. [...] I don't want to give anything away, but we already have our Conan, really it's about the villain, what that villain is going to extract from Conan, and where as an actor I want to go with Conan. You know, no one's going to know what I want to do better than me.

CRAVE Online: Touche!

Jason Momoa: Exactly. [...] We want to incorporate three different things, because obviously you don't just want to do the [existing] story, because the fans already know it. You want to keep them on their toes. So, I think we have a good lock on it. Also, I feel it's beautiful... How many actors get to go in there and go, "I'm part of the writing process?" and care that much about the character, because he is a fan himself? It's great. You know some people go like, "It's great, I'm going to be in my trailer." I want to @#$%ing make a great Conan movie.


By the way Rachel Nichols is in this movie! Yahoo!



Surprise! Surprise! Surprise! Jason actually has a writing credit. He wrote a script for his 2010 short film Brown Bag Diaries: Ridin' the Blinds in B Minor. Of course he produced and starred in the short so I won't give him too much credit, but he is ambitious.

The other day I wrote an article about Jason promising sequels to Conan, but at no point did I think he had a script up his sleeve. I'll assume Jason has never heard the phrase, don't count your chickens before they hatch. Hate seeing him get his hopes up for a sequel before the first one even hits theaters. At this pace Jason will have Conan 3 written by the premiere.



Starring Jason Momoa, Ron Perlman, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, and Rose McGowan, Conan the Barbarian is set to be released in 2D and 3D on August 19th!

He didn't really want to, but he admitted the production is low budget and limited.

Can't blame him for being desperate with this role. TV guy got a lead role of a fan-based character. Anyone would push that.

Interesting?

Hopefully the next movie has more known characters!
Belit, Zula and [frick]ing Thoth-Amon, Kulan Gath or maybe Thulsa Doom played by Djimon Hounsou!

It's good that he is so into the character and the success of the film - hopefully he has the chops to earn that writing credit. Not every actor is Sly Stallone.

Who knows, someone out there can already be working on the reboot!

I'm sure this masterfully written brain-child of his will impress anyone with an IQ below 70. I don't know why, but the first thing I see when looking at Jason Momoa isn't writer.

I wonder: How complicated can this script be?

Let see, (spoiler):

Conan sees woman. Conan want woman. Conan says, "Shut up! Lay down". Conan plays with sword ...the other sword. Woman fight Conan, but woman weak, Conan strong. Conan must battle woman to plant warrior seed; to honor ancestor. Conan win battle! The end.

@ Rubbers - Sylvester Stallone didn't look, sound or act like a writer but he wrote and starred in several of his films. Obviously, he can put 2 words together. How good those scripts are is debatable - most were successful, at least.

Only time will tell what Jason is capable of doing with the pen . . . the other pen.

Jason, lookie here,if this movie is a success,and you care about 'Conan' then there's only ONE direction to go in: Source material. Find a REH story you really dig, tweek it, if you must, to suit your personal aesthetic,and go from there. Just one fan request-make Thoth -amon and the rise a the Set cult in Stygia your ultimate endgame.
Read the Book of Thoth from Dark Horse comics and you'll better understand(if you haven't already).
