The Legend of Conan

Schwarzenegger Returning for the role

Details are few on the plot of the new film, but it is said to ignore the events of both Conan the Destroyer and of the most recent reboot, 2011's Conan the Barbarian, which features "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa in the lead

producer Frederik Malmberg tells the site about where The Legend of Conan picks up. “It’s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he’ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle.”

For the first time, we will see what a fat, out of shape Conan looks like.

Ungh!
Arnie ruined Conan for me growing up & now he's back to haunt me again!

I hope this time round, he doesn't play a dumbwitted version of Conan like the first 2 movies.

I'm glad that they're ignoring those two movies.

was grace jones in conan? she makes me laugh.. perhaps she can be in this one too.........I wonder?

I always thought Grace Jones seemed rather manly to me, she looks like she'd beat the crap out of me...never understood why James Bond slept with her

Bond sleeps with any woman who falls into his missions. Grace Jones is a beast though and the idea of Bond and her going at it is a brutal vision indeed.

might pass unless there is a good female lead.. loved the original conan, sequel was atrocious, reboot was horrendous

Um, Conan isn't a "Nordic Viking", he's a Cimmerian and lives in a fictional time and [hinted at] land.

Having said that, I loved the first film; hated the second. Can't see Arnold reprising the role now. Too old, too fat and too face-lifted.

Yeah, the whole "Nordic Viking" shit threw me off too.

Speaking of Vikings though, Mel Gibson needs to get his alcoholic racist ass in higher gear and give us 'Berserk' already.

hahahahaha.. thanks for the laughs Rob

I see no reason to ignore the first two considering that the end of both sets up the story of Conan as an older king, which is a good role for Arnold at this point.

The second certainly wasn't as good, but I still love to watch it.

It doesn't ignore Conan, it ignores Destroyer and the Conan reboot, which is a good thing.

He should go to Stallone for help to get back into shape.

Rather watch dogs ****.

Alot of blame was put on Dino Dilaurentiis (producer) for killing the original franchise.

His deeply religious beliefs forced the script writers to tone down any references to priests & sects & ultimately just have the finale of Conan fighting & defeating a monster. Dino also refused to invest money into a cgi monster so in the end it came down to Andre The Giant in a rubber suit.

That end scene with that demon is alot better in the Comic book movie adaptation.

Update, plan is to shoot later this year, possibly in New Zealand

I liked Conan the Destroyer....🙁

And the third film was always supposed to be King Conan.
