The same guy that played Arnold in a biographical film and was his body double for Terminator Salvation? Are they trying to make the same film over again or something? Try something different!

There aren't too many beefy actors around that are worth a shit these days. I draw a blank when I try to cast this one.

Fuck reboots. A reboot usually means that either a studio is too pussy to invest in an pre-existing fanbase and wants to pitch to the goldfish-brained teenie-market, or a writer is too lazy to bother doing his research for continuity so ignores it altogether and calls it a "reboot". If they'd've brought back Milius, Stone, Arnold and Gerry Lopez (yes, fucking Subotei, where was he in Destroyer?), and made a movie about the latter days of King Conan (as promised in the previous films, dammit), the existing base of Conan fans would have gone nuts. Remember, a large portion of Robert E. Howard's original stories were set when Conan was King of Aquilonia in his older years. They could have brought in a youthful actor to play Conan's young protege and satisfy the younger crowd. But no - REBOOT - they shit on everything and start again. A well-loved movie franchise should not be treated like a broken computer, IMO.

Jeez, what a no brainer. Why not just give the guy on the far right a call?

The thing that gets me about that picture is the Jurassic Park logos in the background.

Photoshopped?

Why the FUCK are they remaking Conan the Barbarian?!?!??! There are so many other Conan stories to tell. Jesus jumped up Christ that is just fucking stupid. . . .

Hurm. All the Howard purists I know are going to be screaming blue murder (again), but those that are only familiar w/ the films will be ok w/ it. I just hope they do it kinda as a sequel, picking up somewhere after the 1st do & don't do a LITERAL remake...been there, seen it, done it. 1st one was awesome. Doesn't need a remake.

They're not remaking anything. They're making another Conan film.

isn't that one dude from the queers of war game? This sentence is possibly one of the most confusing and intruiging sentences that I have ever read. All I have to say to it is. . .huh?
