I'm hoping Rachel Nichols is topless. Which is likely since she's Conan's love interest and Conan DOES apparently have sex with SOMEONE, so....:D

I think the movie will be a really good one. Jason will be brand-new to the big screen, yes, but you can definately see how his craft has developed and grown from Baywatch to North Shore to SGA and to his most recent Game of Thrones (HBO). Though his run with the HBO series was short, he did a phenomenal job with the character. If you've not seen it I really do recommend you do.

I've also caught his own short movie Notes from the Wall which he co-wrote & directed, and I've seen the trailer and teaser for another short film he has co-written & produced called Road to Paloma. Stephen Lang makes an appearance in this one too. Jason seems to have passion for his craft and and evolving depth in his work. Familiarizing yourself with his work will give 'Conan' fans encouragement about this upcoming release!

I'm looking forward to it!
