Hither came Conan

Metzger Meister

the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet.

I think it's about time Hollywood brought Conan back.

Darkness Mundus

ban the internet

Probad

They should make a Conan movie based on the Age of Conan game.

And watch most of the audience walk out halfway through.

babyeatingjesus

thank god. I saw the title and was like "if this shit isn't about Conan the Barbarian I'm going to be FURIOUS!"

Well done, sir.

Now who should play Conan? Gerard Butler or Hugh Jackman?

Also I am on book 5 of the full series reprint of Savage Sword of Conan and he just took the crown of Aquilonia and I was losing my shit. I haven't been that excited reading a comic book since... the last time I read these comic books on their original run.

SSoC is probably my all time favorite comic title. God that makes me feel young again when I read it.

Metzger Meister

The Rock as Conan.

Mr. Henry Bemis

gerard butler could play a kickass conan

Metz you may not know me, but I like your style.

babyeatingjesus

The Rock had his chance and he was the Scorpion King.

Drew-B

So how many of you were Conan fans because of how violent and 'sexy' it was when you were kids?

I mean, hell, I was. It was a great comic, but I didn't really know good from bad at that point. I just dug the Conan'ness.

Probad

They should do like a passing the torch style Conan movie with Arnold as the now aged Conan sort of looking for a spiritual successor who will take up the barbarian mantle when he can't anymore.

Obviously this person will be played by Shia Labeouf.

I think Conan meets his required goals if -

Gerard Butler called to say he is too busy with Romantic Comedies. Gonna have to get Luke Wilson to play Conan guys.

The problem with Arnold as conan... the way I see it at least, is if you go by the comics he is a Big McLarge Huge sort of man but he's also supposed to be very nimble, they go so far as to describe him as catlike even.

Arnold was closer to mountain-like. Awesome in his own way but... less catlike and more Conan-the-support-pillar-ish.

Metzger Meister

Triple H as Conan

There's a lack of super buff, awesome dudes to play Conan these days. It's a shame.


fake edit: HOLY SHIT I WAS TYPING THIS POST AND LOOK AT THIS

real edit: see, RDM, that's why in some respects casting a pro wrestler as conan would make sense. they are all actors in their own right, they're all in great shape for the most part, and even the big guys (not the HUGE GUYS) are pretty spry and athletic.

GRMike

Who the fuck is Roland Kickinger and why is his last name so fucking badass?

Hunter

What some of you are failing to realize is that Arnold was not and is not a good actor, he's just huge, has screen presence, and it's believable that when he hits a guy with a broadsword that it's going to lob the dude's head off.

They could go to WWE, the UFC, or anywhere ginormous dudes congregate and pick out a decent Conan. Conan is about death and killing people with melee weapons. Also titties, but Hollywood is full of titties.

Snowbeat

that guy is conan

this may not actually suck

vermiculture

He is strong enough to punch out a camel

Kovak

I hope he has learned to speak.

There can never be another Conan film. Not unless they figured out a way to reanimate

Damn you for posting this first!

I loved this show, as a kid. I've rewatched most of it on YouTube, thanks to Bleeek79.

Arnold punched a camel in the face.

That eclipses everything in all the Conan movies and all Schwarzenegger's other movies combined.

Defenestrator

I know a guy who (claims at least) to have one of the original Conan sword props. I am inclined to believe him because his name is James Tiberius and nerds spend money on stuff like that.

Rob Liefeld also bought one of the original swords once. Rob Liefeld is a bit of a child, really.

Conan is super rad, though.

I hear the Conan books are pretty great.

Also, I bought the special edition of Age of Conan...

Agent Cooper

There are already plans to resuscitate the Conan franchise.

Brett Ratner has already been signed to direct.

Peter Ebel

I very honestly think Arnold Schwarzenegger was the best possible choice for Conan throughout all eternity.

But I'd watch a new Conan movie. If they reused the first one's score I'd watch it twice.
