Its just been confirmed Marcus Nispel is set to direct it

Who are they going to get to play Conan??
Some movie you just shouldn't remake, come up with something new.

I will see this... but I do hope the plot is good

What do you mean remake you do realise theres a heap of short stories from Robert E Howard and plenty of ones from the comics and besides says nothing about its going to be a remake.

I love me some Conan, but I'm skeptical this will be good. I do hope so.

Dvd.

THere's plenty of better actors to chose for Conan's role other than Arnold.

So it can't be much cheesier than the original conan movies.

It's not the chessieness that i am worried about.
Replacing Arnie just doesn't seem right.... better actors?? this is Conan what do you want? Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, i know let's get Johnny Depp.

It like them remaking total recall, what is the point.

Al Pacino will make a good Conan, though

I'd actually prefer if this was made CGI, like Beowolf.

The first Conan movie was'nt cheesy it was a decent movie now that sequal on the otherhand.........

agreed!!! the only good thing about the sequal besides the end was Conan saying to the wizard "enough talk" and sticks him with the knife.

By the way does anyone know when a good version of conan will be released on DVD or Bluray?? I have seen it on DVD with a bunch of extras but the sound is in glourious MONO!!!???? WTF

I agree, it's one of my favorite movies and the sound track by Basil Poledouris is one of the best scores in movie history. Just ****ing epic.

Conan The Destroyer was oh so sad and pathetic. Did you know that was Andre The Giant in that rubber monster suit?

.

See the teaser.

Is Conan seriously weating mascara?

Jason Momoa was looking massive in Game of Thrones, made me more excited for the Conan movie.

pause.

well he better have more lines than just "no" "no" "no"



as for this, thought it would be good to go see, however i have no hope for this

Robert E. Howard's Conan was not only intelligent & cunning but also very agile.

Arnie may have looked the part but he seriously came across as slow-witted compared to the novels.

Sweet.

It looks terrible, and has a mediocre director.

Well yeah the teaser does look shit

hopefully something better shows up later on.

My earlier skepticism came true, this will definitely suck a bucket of sweaty balls. Too bad.

This is gonna suck worse than the Crow remake. Next thing you know they'll remake Die Hard.

I say that Star Wars will be remade by 2030.

If Willis wasn't aiming for yet another DH, I think we'd see a remake starring Jason Statham and it would suck.

When you say 2030, you do mean 2030 on the 24 hour clock, as in half past eight tonight?

Remakes are ruining the movie business. There are still a plethora of movie ideas out there. But no, they just have to remake a movie. No script really needed because you can just modify the old script and viola! A movie! Honestly, these directors are getting slack.

As much as I loathe remakes, I think the reason being has to do with the writers' guild striking a couple of years ago.

Remakes, reboots literally write themselves needing less writers to rely on & are also already guaranteed to pull in the profit over the opening weekend.

New trailer

http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/167201-new-conan-the-barbarian-trailer

looks good, alot better then that crappy teaser that they released.

Looks like the same rehashed garbage that gets released every year.

Looks shit still.

Agreed. Whos going to deliver the crush you enemies line?
This movie is going to suck hard. I'm just waiting for the original one on blu ray since the DVDs were in mono I never got them.

It looks enjoyable enough.
Although it's becoming obvious & annoying these days of action sequences that are deliberately made for 3D.

Yeah, i'll wait for dvd for this one. It doesnt look like anything special and i;m still not sold on the casting of Conan.

Boy you can say that again.

saw the trailer again before Thor came on, I do like Rachel Nichols and she'll be the only reason why i see this

Still gonna see this one but won't be going into with high expectations

stupid that they got someone like Marcus Nispel for this flick when the character was ripe for a comeback.

I'll see this and I'll be dressed as Thor, and you all will be jealous of my pecs.

New full trailer released last week. Did everyone get a chance to see it?

I'm really liking the outlook for Conan. Momoa seems like a great pic for the lead, especially after seeing him on Game of Thrones. Definitely also excited to see a story more in line with the Robert E. Howard vision of Conan.

It's just I can't get past his forehead & eyebrows.
He's expression is either surprised or worried at what he sees...

I read for this flick its Marcus Nispels dream project

who knows the final product might be decent but will wait and see.

After seeing Momoa on Game Of Thrones, I think he is going to make a kick ass Conan.

He's...well...just a little guy. Sure, he's in really good shape...

But this is Conan The Friggin' Barbarian!

I guess should not compare past Conan's to this one. I should let it stand in its own right...just like I tried to do with GI Joe.

Another Red Band clip released for Conan. Anyone who didn't catch it, see below:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yNisV1YQbXQ&feature=player_embedded

I think it looks awesome personally. Every piece of content I've seen so far, I have liked better than the last. And this clip is definitely the best thing they released so far. If this is what Conan is doing as a kid, I can't f'ing wait to see what goes down when he is grown up. Absolutely badass.

Seen two reviews up for this film

the main things they say are bad script, pacing, dialog etc


but this one from Twitchfilm has some positive parts

http://comicbookmovie.com/fansites/rorschachsrants/news/?a=44467

Terrible movie.

Still willing to bet it's better than the original with Arnold.

when you see the remake, say your statement one million times fast lol

The original wasn't so good itself to me, so I may not have much standard for the remake.

Orignal is great. This was utter shit.

Hmm'k. Am not saying it was terrible though. Just not anything particularly special, but if the remake is really that bad in comparison, then I guess I might as well wait to dictate that 'till it starts being shown on movie channels or netflix, as I wouldn't want to pay extra to see garbage would I?

Original is pretty classic.

It may be a classic but it's a tad tedious, slow & very outdated watching it now compared to when it was first released.

Different tastes for different people i suppose because the original was far from slow for me.

Arnold had classic lines and there's a nostalgic factor for me. Just look at the original star wars films and compare it to the prequels it looks vastly outdated but still are great movies. Look past the effects and with conan at the time it was a wonderful tale of revenge and gladiatorial good times to be had by all.

A good film can never become dated. Watch Conan again but with the commentary with Arnie and the director, it's hilarious.

Slow? We get a battle 10 minutes into it and we stay entertained until the end. The non-battle scenes all pretty much are either character development related or plot-driven.

Tedious? See above.

Outdated? Was made in 1982 and the effects for the time are pretty good. But it is an almost 20 yer old fantasy flick.

Conan the Barbarian is timeless.

Conan the Destroyer was cheesy, but fun.

If I want to see Arnold at his best or a nostalgic factor of his, I'll preferably rewatch Terminator 2 or something. His Conan movie doesn't hold a candle to plenty of the other movies he's been in IMO.

His Conan movie doesn't hold a candle to plenty of the other movies he's been in IMO. Arnold just shit out classics in the 80's. Termintor 1 and 2, Predator, Running Man, Conan, the man was on fire.

And then started killing us in the 90's with shit like Eraser. "You're luggage."

T2 was made in 91.

Arnold had 3 maybe 4 good movies in the 90's. Less than half from the 80's. He's the 80's action-star.

Terminator 3 was one he did all right in too, though I guess that wouldn't count for the current topic since it was in 2003, but was still a better movie than Terminator Salvation IMO (Kristanna Loken was kind of a plus too). I'll be a bit disappointed if the next Terminator is one he doesn't have a prominent role in either.

I think what I had difficulty watching was really James Earl Jones & his henchmen & their ridiculous haircuts....the whole religious sect story line was what I found tedious to watch...after having seen the movie about 4-5 times already.

The one problem I had with the original though it's minor is the manner in which Conan dispatched the villain. Once he overcame self doubt and his words he just killed him. I expected a fight.

The MAIN problem I had with the original was how dumbwitted & clumsy Arnie played Conan out to be.

Having read all the Conan novels, the guy wasn't just muscle bound, he was quick, agile, cunning & intelligent enough to rise to king.

Usually those who have high expectations leave disappointed when it makes the transition from comic book/novel to movie.

I liked how Milius used Arnold in Conan1: no talk, just action. And yes, he wasn't too clever, but it felt honest enough. Can't say that about our new pumped up version.

I read one book with lots of short stories on Conan by Robert Howard. And he certainly wasn't the talkative type. I think Milius just emphasised that bit.

I'd like to see a movie with an older Conan, starring Ahnold. Conan the Usurper.... with his empire beginning to crumble. At least that would give some depth and challenge to the character and the actor.

Yah, with Shia Lebouf as the spunky young kid who the torch is being passed to. Sounds like a hit!

Yes Arnold playing Conan felt honest enough...considering at the time, there was little choice of other actors to play the part.

But at least with Momoa, he did look intelligent & cunning enough to do the Robert E. Howard's novels justice.
Unfortunately he just didn't have the screen presence compared to Arnold.

Plus it does'nt help with Marcus Nispel directing.

Certainly didn't. He sure handled the gore nicely, too bad there wasn't much else in this rather cliche story... And frankly, I missed things that made Conan stand out like a character.

The original Conan movie had a number of scenes that clearly built his character: the 'what's best in life' lesson, biting the vulture, hitting the camel, praying to Crom... Momoa didn't get any character scene. So they made Conan look alright... they just forgot about characterisation ... and story.

I've got two of the Robert E Howard Conan books with the short stories, Just have'nt got around to reading them i'll get to them eventually.

They are an easy read...

Once again like the latest Punisher movie, the actor was good but the director ****ed it up. The script wasnt as good either than the 80s versions.

Marcus Nispel is horrible, better than Pathfinder at least.

I disagree about the latest Punisher movie.
Three attempts & the 3rd one was the most accurate & realistic.

It was also a pleasant surprise to find out that the director of such a violent film was female.

Liked it. Want to see more.
