Arnold Schwarzenegger Interested In 'Conan' Sequel
[Thursday, June 12th, 2003]Arnold Schwarzenegger told SciFi-Wire that he definitely wants to be involved in the proposed Conan sequel King Conan: Crown of Iron, and is now just waiting for the finished script.
"I don't think there's any doubt about my interest in Conan," he said. "I love the character of Conan. I think it's one of the most wonderful characters I've ever played in my whole movie career."
The film is currently in development at Warner Brothers, under the supervision of The Matrix creators Larry and Andy Wachowski. Schwarzenegger said that development on the project is moving slowly due to the Wachowskis' commitment to the release this year of the second and third films in the Matrix franchise. "Warner Brothers has the rights to Conan, and the Wachowski brothers are supposed to be in charge of it," Schwarzenegger said. "But obviously, as you can see, they're heavily involved in bringing out their next movie. I think as soon as they come to me and say we have a new script, and it's ready to go to the next stage, we'll sit down and talk about it."
