In a pretty awful few days for CBM news I figured this would be worth reporting. El Mayimbe over at Latino Review is reporting that the little dude that played a young Snake Eyes will now be playing a young Conan...
Remember the kid who was bad ass as Young Snake Eyes in the flashback scenes of G.I.JOE?
12 year old actor Leo Howard.
Well I just found out he is playing Young Conan in the Lionsgate "Conan" reboot that Marcus Nispel is directing.
It's a pretty meaty part and the audience's first introduction to Conan for the first 15 minutes or so.
As we know, the role of the older barbarian will be filled by Jason Momoa(queue moaning below!). The only other casting news(rumor) has been that Mickey Rourke may play
Conan's father. Pre production is under way in Bulgaria and production is expected to begin next month.
