We seem to be hearing quite a bit from
Conan the Barbarian star Jason Momoa these days. He has been promoting
Game of Thrones fairly steady. Below is the latest the actor had to say about
Conan from DigitalSpy.
"A lot of people are like, 'What's it like being in the shoes of Arnold?' but it's not a remake of the 1982 film. There's just such a bountiful amount of Robert E. Howard stories. So it's taking a couple of Robert E. Howard stories, the same legendary character and throwing him through that."
"Fans of Arnie, unfortunately I'm not Arnie and I'm not going to try to do anything remotely like Arnold. I think what I tried to model myself after was the things I was inspired by, the stories and Frank Frazetta.
"Both my parents are painters and I grew up doing that and being an artist and I saw the Frank Frazetta paintings when I was a boy. They're just badass, you know what I mean? He's got a chick on his leg and he's standing on a bunch of skulls with this sword and he's just ripped. It's cool! I'm a big kid inside."
Conan The Barbarian directed by Marcus Nispel and starring Jason Momoa, Rose McGowan, Ron Perlman, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang and Saïd Taghmaoui is slated for release this August.
