Conan the Barbarian

*Raph's Girl* · 01-22-2010, 04:23 PM

Well it's official. Stargate Atlantis' Jason Momoa has been cast as Conan The Barbarian. Yeah... Conan with dreadlocks. At least he's hot. Mickey Rourke has been reportadly cast as Conan's dad, Kull (previously played by Kevin Sorbo, Jason's co-star on Andromeda....yeah).

That's no Conan, he's too puny and not Austrian enough

*Mecha Cow* · 01-22-2010, 06:33 PM

There's no way this will be better than the 1982 film.

Yeah, yeah, "remakes don't hurt anyone, why do you care, blah blah." Shut up. We're talking about Arnold here.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-22-2010, 09:03 PM

hopefully they'll follow the original stories better.

but basically it's all about beef holding sword/axe/randomsharpblugieweaponthingie killing minions and then the main bad guy.

not only had the first movie Arnold, James Earl Jones played the main antagonist in it

*Roland* · 01-26-2010, 03:03 PM

Did any of you see the tv series of conan the babarian?

*Spitfire* · 01-26-2010, 03:16 PM

Didn't they already make this movie? Yeah it was called "Scorpion King" and it sucked.

I'm not trying to be Conan!

Horrible choice. Momoa was probably one of the weakest links on Stargate: Atlantis and I'm not keen on seeing Conan the Slimmarian.

I hope Krom frowns on this production and smites it.

Arnold was never a great actor, but he had presence. Natural charisma. Momoa has neither.

And how much you want to bet it's gonna be PG-13?

Ah, so now they're going to have fu*ked with both Conan's in one month.....the irony. Pleeeeease tell me this is a Universal Pictures movie. The jokes would present themselves.

Regardless, this isn't going to touch the original 1982 film. Nothing could.

It's being done by Millenium Films via Lionsgate/North Shore (aka Conan's gonna be filmed in Canada). Incidentally NBC picked up a pilot from Conan O'Brien's production company (didn't even know he had one) about a supreme court justice who starts up his own lawfirm....*blinks*

But maybe they should base the film on the cartoon. Do you remember who the main enemy in the cartoon was? I don't remember it at all. All remember is that conan's sword turn certain people into snake people.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-28-2010, 04:54 PM

And I remember Conan's parents didn't really die, they were just secretly turned into stone or something.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-28-2010, 05:20 PM

perhaps we get a book accurate movie... or just beef cutting lesser beef

It's supposed to be book accurate apperantly.

*Andrew NDB* · 01-28-2010, 05:27 PM

But Conan is huge in the books.

He is described by the original author as:

"giant" and "massive"

It is also stated that as of 15 years old and not yet fully grown he was 6 feet and weighing 180 pounds. This sounds about the measurements of the guy who was cast and I doubt Conan's going to be 15 in this movie.

Another passage of the author of when Conan was King of Aquilonia read:

" ... a tall man, mightily shouldered and deep of barreled chest, with a massive corded neck and heavily muscled limbs."

This describes the larger character we've always seen on both the comics as well as the movies. Does that sound like Jason Momoa? **** no.

*Oculus Orbus* · 01-28-2010, 05:41 PM

That guy looks nothing like Conan. They casting him give you an idea of the kind of film we're getting.

*Candy Kappa* · 01-30-2010, 07:49 PM
