I’m a product of the times of the Original Conan the Barbarian film with Arnold. Comics were a major fascination in my childhood – I still have hundreds of them. In the late seventies, my uncle got me interested in body building and of course, Arnold was king of the ring! In saying this, it was easy for fans of both realms to make the connection and appreciate the final results on screen.

Now in this new era of boy toys and thinner is inner I see a derailment coming! I just hope the powers that be don’t get to “Twilight-y” in the new interpretation. Because 1, the only people anticipating (negatively of positively) this release are people who know the “history of this franchise & appreciate the blood, gore, grime and brutality of the first film. Because 2, my kids & most others for that matter don’t know and could care less about Conan. They’re gonna have to do a MAJOR marketing campaign to bring Conan’s story to the forefront so that the new generation will “get it.” Otherwise, judgment will be left to people like me who already HATE the casting of the new Conan!

I’m just suprised they are making a new Conan film, but like so many print to screen journeys, butcher it and we’ll butcher you!

Please give us a great Conan movie that Robert E. Howard deserves. Please give us an actor who can pull the character through—from the classic novels to the big screen!

We could certainly use a throw-back to Robert E. Howards’ true Conan. The Conan of that great Hyborian Kingdom. That bone twisting, face-splitting, demon-fearing, blood-letting, kingdom taking Conan. Some of you out there know who I’m talking about! You spent a lot of hours reading those great original and uncut literary masterworks that told it all. Just take it back to the REH novels, with all the grit and sorcery, and we’ll have one great movie…A true Conan movie! There’s a lot of great material that makes up the mythos of Conan! So take it away Mr. Nispel!! We’re counting on you!

Though I am excited to see Conan remade it’s hard to imagine anyone replacing Arnold in that role. I really hope that they keep it gritty & barbaric…hence Conan THE BARBARIAN. I don’t want to see Conan the Ninja..

I’m a little concerned now.

Forget Milius! Conan belongs to his creator, Robert E. Howard. Any of the original tales is far better than the Arnold movie.

Give Conan movie again, to Mr Milius to do justice with his “King Conan: Crown of Iron” second draft script.
Were we can see armies in shiny armour marching over dead bodies and keep on fighting for his life.
If King Conan done by Milius it will smash the box office and be the top of high action fantasy adventure even will outdo Lord of the Rings.
Arnold can finish off his loincloth were he is crowned as a king.
He is off Governor next year; even James Cameron wants him to do True Lies 2. Before going to that direction he can beef up, in his come back to his old roots and finish off what he had in his pipeline before he went to office.
Marcus Nispel might be a good director but does not hold up with John Milius visions.
And I tell you that this new Conan it won’t be that of a success as was in the era of the 80’s.
Nispel does not have the knowledge been military expert, he will not make it as it suppose to be made.
Milius has a mastermind vision of a director, when come to directing in his ability he show that he is Sergio Leone of America.

Nispel tried to do a Conan like film with Pathfinder and it did not work out. I say let Milius get the money to make King Conan with Arnold!
Conan the Barbarian might be from the ‘Disco Era’ but it still holds today for its brutality and realism. 300 is nothing compared to Conan the Barbarian.

I dunno PATHFINDER SUCKED. Friday the 13th was meh. I’d rather he do Conan the Rave-arian as done on you tube before he soils Conan the Barbarian with mediocrity

Drasko Andjic is the best choice for new Conan

I like what I’m hearing so far – Nispel’s head looks to be in the right place for this project.

The director Mr Nispel said that this conan will not be a Arnold looking actor.And that rumor about Roland Kickinger has been put to rest has being not true.The 2 guys that wrote “Sahara” are doing conan and they say that they have been big fan’s of the REH Conan book’s for a long time.But the story line from the first draft was leaked and it was a long way off from REH.So hopefully things have changed a bit now that they are geting things going.

I would like to see some indication that he has glanced at the Robert E. Howard stories.

I wonder if they will use the Conan graphic novels as a reference. This would be a good idea because it will give them a better grasp on who Conan really is and perhaps even a viable story line. My vote for who should be Conan…Sam Worthington. Though he may need to get a little more ripped. Probably won’t happen anyway since he’s busy with the Clash of the Titans remake.

Who the F will be Conan? Roland Kickinger looks and sounds exactly like a late 20′s Arnold only taller and has even played him in the Run Arnold Run Tv film. Hope they don’t go with some dipsh*t wrestler in the starring role. Maybe in supporting roles though like Ben Davidson and Sven Oley THornson in the first film. Hulk Hogan as Rexor
