Re: Conan 2009?

Well this is coming out in 2010 and its directed by Brett Ratner (x-men the last stand, red dragon, rush hour 1,2,3 , prison break pilot etc)
Don't know if it will be good very little information still...just thought I'd add this even though I know I am like the only fan here

Re: Conan 2009?

I'm having a hard time imagining a remake that would do the Arnold Schwarzenegger / John Milius original film any kind of justice. It's just such an iconic role for him (well, maybe not so much the sequel), and even if they were to stick to the books, I doubt that Robert E Howard's vision could be translated very well to screen with the exception of a handful of directors (and Brett Ratner ain't one of them).

Who can deliver a line, much less write one that can compare to this one (which made the movie to me)?

Mongol General: What is best in life?
Conan: To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of their women!

Re: Conan 2009?



I honestly don't think Arnold did a very good job...the first one was bearable but the second was terrible. Anyway I am sure if they find someone well built, who can actually act, and if they stick to the actual story rather than trying to tell the whole life of the character in one film... they will do well.
Its all about the senseless killing and the attractive women...

Re: Conan 2009?

So this is coming out this august apparently...

I have to say it doesn't look all that great hopefully I am wrong

Re: Conan 2009?

It's in 3D, and yeah, I still think Arnold's will be the definitive version to beat.

A adventure that begins as a claimed vendetta for the angry Cimmerian warrior anon turns into an ballsy action adjoin ample rivals, alarming monsters, and absurd odds, as Conan realizes he is the alone achievement of extenuative the abundant nations of Hyboria from an advancing administration of abnormal evil.
