Though he does not meet the requirements i would still love to see it. I have been saying he should do it for years now. Oh my NO 1 choice would be Dwayne “the Rock” Johnson.

Perhaps even the acting ability. But there's something missing that I can't quite put my finger on. What we need is someone with the presence and physique of William Smith in his early days. Someone with just that hint of menace. I think Josh Holloway has the looks to do it. Perhaps even the acting ability. But there’s something missing that I can’t quite put my finger on.

Even the young Conan was renowned for his strength, so who ever it is better have a fairly heavy layer of muscle on. I would be more than disapointed if they find some scrawny limpet with long black hair. No matter who they choose the actor needs to have a powerful physique!

Josh Holloway might be fine. Daniel Craig is smaler than me, and there are some why nots like Telfer. but I didn't think of anyone so far he might fit perfect. Conan is someone the girls in the stories are eying with great interest, so he can not be as ugly as many diehard fans obviously wish him to be. I think, there's a lot between to pretty and the look Frazetta gave him (I don't like the Frazetta-Conan too much) I don't care so much for the director right now - I really want to see the guy they choose. Until the presentation of the main man this movie simply doesn't exist. I like to add something as a woman – I think, the actor they choose should also have a certain amount of sex-appeal.

Regardless of eye colour, I think whoever gets the role should wear scary blue contacts because his eyes where such a focus in all REH's stories. I love Arnold, have been a comepative bodybuilder myself and actaully met him in 91, but dont let him near this film REH/Frezetta's Conan all the way.

I don't know who, specifically, I'd like to see portray the Cimmerian. Probably the same problem a lot of people are having. But you're right; it is easy. I'll have to bring one to the table. @ James

I think the first film captured the REH essence if nothing else. I can watch either interpretation. I think we all feel a little shafted by Conan the Destroyer, and would like some closure.

First of all i just would like to say that i would love to see a conan movie that is faithfull to REH'S book's.But maybe it's to soon. All the actors that have been suggested on this page are good or intresting guys.But we can find things that we do not like about them.Like their to pretty or to young or to old,i mean hell now that i think about it Bryniarski is or will be 40 year's old this year.Not a good age for a young conan.So with that said do you guy's think it might be better to have a conan movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger called "CONAN THE KING".I mean could it be to soon to remake a conan movie when Schwarzenegger is still burned in to people's mind's as conan.Iam a REH conan fan like all of you,but i think we are outnumberd by Arnold Schwarzenegger conan fans.And maybe a conan movie staring a unknown is not going to do good.Thay could make a movie calld "CONAN THE KING HOUR OF THE DRAGON".That way we get are movie that is faithfull to REH.And the movie will do good at the boxoffice because of the fact that Schwarzenegger's name still sells ticket's The reason I like Bryniarski is because he is a guy that has the conan body the conan look and can act.He has not had a lead part in a big movie,but could pull of conan.But i just thought of something.
