Mickey Rourke maybe? I also thought maybe Brendan Frazer?

MMA's Bob Sapp has been cast as Ukafa:

Ukafa is in his 30s-40, very dark-skinned African or African American, massively framed at six-foot-five, gold-toothed, hardened by a lifetime of war, a leader of Kushite Tribemen from the savannahs of Kush. Ukafa is Khalar Singh’s second in command, jealous that Singh’s son, Fariq, will one day be warlord. He obeys his leader but plots the overthrow of his son. He is a mighty warrior and unbeatable in battle—until he comes face to face with Conan.

BOB SAPP IS AWESOME!

[Mutagen Mutant]

Terrible, awful, unfortunate, unpleasant, dire, loathsome, offensive, disastrous, appalling, detestable - that pretty much covers it for me.

So...get your priorities straight, maybe?

Casting news: Mickey Rourke is out as Conan's dad, Corin. Ron Perlman is in....

Rachel Nichols (she's everywhere!) is Tamara

Spoiler:

"the Queen’s servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other female bodyguards to the queen have been in hiding most of their lives because of the curse of Acheron, which would take the queen’s life to bring almost immortal power to its king. When Khalar Singh, a powerful warlord with ambitions to become the king of Acheron, storms the monastery and captures all of the novitiates, she is separated from Ilira, the one she must protect. With all of her strength and will, Tamara is determined to find and rescue her. She finds herself in league with Conan because of a mutual need to find Khalar Singh. She is not in the least intimidated by Conan’s size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both."

. I guess she's the love interest?

Stephen Lang is Khalar Singh

Commanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won. He is driven in his quest to find the Queen of Acheron and has been building an empire to do so.

Said Taghmaoui has also been cast but I don't know what role and Dolph Lundgren MIGHT be in the movie....*lol*

Meanwhile Rose McGowan has not been cast as Red Sonya but as a half human/half witch.....

Spoiler:

Good point, but at least Johnson had the girth.

where, where? is he behind the threes?

[Raph's Girl]

New piccie of Conan. Jason looks confused... perhaps he's confused about the plot?

[Candy Kappa]

ah must be Conan age 15

[Raph's Girl]

I just realized that this is the first time I've ever seen Jason Mamoa WITHOUT his dreadlocks.....

[ZariusTwo]

Looks very much like it's pandering TO the teenage demographic...I guess that's why we thrifty-year-olds (27s who feel like there going on 100), are always looking for the grander aspects than the fantasy-lite fluff

[Candy Kappa]

any info who's doing the music?
The soundtrack on the original movie was epic.

The story as well

new teaser trailer

[Raph's Girl]

And for those not in America (MTV doesn't like non-Americans) here's the same trailer via youtube. Looks.....interesting. What little can be seen anyways.

[Newton Gimmick]

I can't wait til they reboot this.

[Ninja Turtles 25 Years]

There is no chance that this movie will be better than the 1982 movie. It's a fact of reality-- remakes are VERY rarely as good as the original. I wonder why do these studios invest many millions of dollars into a remake that most people will like their orignals better. Psycho remade in 1998 REALLY sucked; Planet Of The Apes (2001) sucked worse than the 1970s 5-part series; The Honeymooners (2005). The only remakes I actually liked better than the orignal was Resident Evil Remake (VG), Little Shop Of Horrors; and The Nutty Professor.

I found Conan the Barbarian/Destroyer to be my top most favorite movies ever. What wasn't to like? The movie was nicely made, the fighting sequence, the soundtrack was dynamite, I really loved the Atlantian Sword of Conan, the sword/gladiator training, the love, the revenge and even the voice of Akiro The Wizard. He had a real interesting voice when narrating, and same with James Earl Jones. In Destroyer, I liked the locations; crystal palace, sparkling lake, enchanted forest, snowy mountains, mirror chamber and the wrestling scene between Conan and the Man Ape. In spite of the upcoming remake, I watched The Barbarian just a few days ago, enjoyed the soundtrack, enjoyed the fighting and practicing, and even practiced along with my real sharp-metal sword resembling Conan's I own during the time after Conan is revived. I loved that movie since my mother first let me watch it when I was only age 3.

Again, this remake is not going to top the original no where near. Being who they chose for the role of Conan, I hope this remake has a crusify scene.

Theatrical trailer is up. This movie looks somewhat confusing but also looks like it'll be a good one. I'll be in theatres for this....if only to drool over Jason Momoa for 2 hours.

[Candy Kappa]

I think his voice fits the Conan character, and SNAKES!
