The actor they cast is named (Andrew McLaren). Andrew has a few credits and is very similar to what Conan is supposed to look like black hair, 6 ft tall, blue eyes, 185 pounds ripped muscular body. Rumor has it that the movie is going to be huge and will spin off several sequels. They want to build up Andrew McLaren as the next action star since he is still in his 20's and a lot of the current A listers are aging.

That's what you get when you swing swords around. The most realistic battle on film I've ever seen. CONAN should reflect that. anyone ever seen that foreign film MONGOL ?

A Conan movie filmed with 300's vibe would be awesome, but lets face it you can't go around swinging swords and axes without a great deal of gore. That's one of Conan's major appeals. Besides, for the time period, people in general weren't exactly humane. You’re probably not the only one DC, but don’t expect a large following.

I guess I thought I was competing against a know it all. In the end it's really about the stories we love isn't it? BTW Lisa have you noticed how some former pretty boys are pathetically trying to act now that their puberty is catching them? Let's be honest, if it weren't for Martin Scorcese, Leo DiCaprio's last few performances would just be sad. Speaking of lame, I just checked out the latest movie posters for G.I. Joe, The Rise of Cobra. I can now officially say with total conviction that Hollywood does not respect anything....PERIOD. I can’t deny your loyalty as a fan Mikeyboy.

That's funny as hell !!!!! And I sooooo agree. But, I suppose that is the lure for the teenyboppers, sensitivity, you know. I prefer the long hair, rugged look myself. Well, I suppose we'll find out soon enough who it will be, I just hope he's not to lame. Right. doe-eyed girl/boy, huh?! That’s funny as hell !!!!! And I sooooo agree.

FINALLY there's something to go on. Thanks for the support Lisa. I first noticed Dominic Purcell in Blade Trinity. His portrayal of Dracula as an old-school noble warrior literally screamed Conan. He is good looking (don't get me wrong), but he's not pretty. That's the point I think we were trying to make. Purcell is an actor first and his looks are more chisled and rugged. That's the kind of Conan the story needs. As for the appeal factor I have noticed women have taken to more masculine actors lately. Hugh Jackman, Gerard Butler, and Jason Statham all come to mind and that's great. It's good to see that people are returning to more manly sex symbols. Hopefully, that doe-eyed girl/boy from Twilight is the last of the pretty boys. Mikeyboy you are my new hero! FINALLY there’s something to go on. Thanks for the support Lisa.

He would still have to muscle up a bit though. I suppose I have to agree with shyluck007, Dominic Purcell could probably pull it off. He would still have to muscle up a bit though.

A few months ago I got "jumped on" in this forum, too, for voicing similar opinions. When my sister and I went to see Van Helsing, a guy sitting next to me said he was surprised that so many women were in the audience. My sis and I said together, "It's Hugh Jackman!" Other women around us agreed. ;) Lisa,

Nobody is contesting your opinion. But,this Christian guy is just some kid from a girlie show. He's not a big name. Sure you think he's cute and sex appeal sells films...but....if they chose a sex symbol kid from some teenie bopper program to star in this thing...I would not be going to see it. Talks about filming and production are available on the web. Rob Zombie wants to direct it....Rodriguez was approached but he's filming Red Sonja starring Rose Mcgowan right now. So it'll happen soon...but they need a director and a star first. point/counter point….all good. Nobody is contesting your opinion.

Conan is not handsome nor is he charming and appealing to women or children was never REH's goal. The world of Conan is a dark, gritty, and very brutal place. Conan himself is no gentleman, but that was always his true appeal. We love him for his bravado, his everyman demeanor, and most of all for his in your face confidence. I'd like to think people not familiar with the stories could appreciate that not how good looking the actor is or how audience friendly the stories are.

THEN he got the wanderlust. He went to countries that were the HYBORIAN world equivilent of Africa and Saudi Arabia and spent years in the sun as he grew older larger and stronger. There were stories where he was lost , naked in the desert and had sun burn so bad it would have killed any normal man...but he recovered and he of course got tanned in these instances. He worked and he was enslaved as well. He also spent some time out at sea. Once again....exposed to the elements. Yes he wore clothing but there were segments where he removed his garments and further exposed himself to the elements. This is how he wound up with " BRONZED " skin. I fhtis helps you at all I am more than happy to have obliged. sigh………Zyg , Conan…in his youth before he traveled to far off distant countries…was just as pale as any other one of his countrymen.
