Really? Theyre making a new CONAN for 2011... Rachel Nicols (ROC Scarlett) is going to be in it...

Yeah. I think they are sticking tighter to the Howard stories then the Arnold movies. I believe it will focus on his early years after leaving Cimmeria and becoming a thief in Zammora.

I really enjoyed the original movies with Arnold and don't know about this version working as well.

The second (Arnold) Conan film was cliche-filled and really amped up the cheese factor. It was less serious and clearly geared to the teenage dungeons and dragons set. As a teenager interested in fantasy stuff at the time I loved it. Now, as a adult I do not appreciate it very much but the first film is still awesome. So, this new film will have to tell a compelling story, have engaging action scenes and supporting cast, to really draw interest. Plus, the filmmakers have to go in understand than it isn't 1982 anymore, so unlikely that it will break any new ground in filmmaking. |

I like the part where he punches a camel in the face.

I absolutely love the first movie, but I do agree with hardcore Robert Howard fans that Arnold is not the author's vision of Conan. Howard's Conan would have never cried, "You killed my parents, you killed my people!" He would have just visciously slayed them all. There's other sticking points like him being a slave and pit fighter for so long. Conan was resourceful and would have escaped even as a child.
Still, awesome movie and one of the best movie soundtracks all-time!

There is a special edition DVD of this movie, it contains an interview with Oliver Stone who I believe penned the original script for the first Conan film. Supposedly it would have been more true to Howard's stories. I think the studios probably wanted something more medieval fantasy-oriented, whereas if I recall Howard's stuff contained its fair share of weirdness.
