According to TheArnoldFans Conan is heading to theatres, but instead as an animated film rather than live-action. It will be based on the classic story by the best-selling fantasy author Robert E. Howard.
The feature film is reportedly being directed by animation veteran Victor Dal Chele (Spider-Man, Johnny Quest, and Ghostbusters). Comics, animation and superheroes expert Steve Gold is onboard as the film's writer/producer while Larry Houston (X-Men TAS, Batman TAS, and Spawn) is the animation director.
"In other big Arnold and Conan news, Swordplay Entertainment Inc., has begun principal production on the animated feature film, Conan: Red Nails, based on the classic story by the best-selling fantasy author Robert E. Howard, a new 2D/3D animated feature film, targeting a 2006 release on video/DVD. New Line Home Entertainment has acquired all North American distribution rights to the animated feature film."
"Conan: Red Nails, one of Howard's most famous stories, is both a sprawling epic and an equally engaging love story. When Conan and the female warrior Valeria, are betrayed in battle, they flee across harsh desert and trackless jungle only to confront the mystery and horror of a fabulous lost city. Conan becomes embroiled in a feud between the city¹s factions, and must triumph over dragons, demons and a host of human and magical foes to end the war and win Valeria¹s love."
