Conan movie rumoured to be on hold until Arnold returns

An Arnold Schwarzenegger fanpage dug up a rumour from an inside source that the slow going reboot of the Conan movie has come to a full stop until Arnold would end his political career and return as King Conan himself.

The source claims that this surprising move was done, because the producers did not think that a Conan movie, with an unknown cast in the lead, would cash in the right amount of money to validate for the major investment needed to bring Conan to live on the big screen.

The story itself would still be a complete reboot and not connected to the Conan movies done in the 1980′s, so they renamed the project from King Conan to Conan the King.

The question is, if the inside source can be trusted, as this would be a major change from anything that has been stated officially by any part of the production team. Even the latest interviews with Brett Ratner who seemed to be involved with the project somehow, did not hint in any way that something like this was on the table. As always, these are just rumours we have to live with until an official word nullifies them. Stay tuned, get down and…. run to da choppa!

UPDATE: Another inside source said that this was an amusing rumour. You can all make what you want out of that, but you can be sure – I’ll be back ;)

    But, what the hell is about with the “red nails” animated movie??? The webpage is still online! why we dont have any news about it?

  • http://www.ageofconan.com Waldgeist

    The Red Nails animated feature is really hard to get to.. i tried to find any source of information but couldn’t find anything about it yet, nor gather a good contact.

  • James McKenzie

    The last thing I heard about Red Nails is that the planned to release it on DVD just before the new Conan live action film is released.

    Haha.. too many things connected to the new movie :D . I mean Funcom also hopes for a soon release of the movie for obvious reasons :)

    Wait a second, i did not quite get that. Does the rumor state that they waiting for Arnold so they can cast him as Conan?

  • http://www.ageofconan.com Waldgeist

    Yeah that was the rumour, but the “other inside source” said it was a “funny rumour”, so i would not give to much about this rumour, especially since the only source we have for this is an Arnold Fanpage.

    Another rumour states, “I asked a contact at the studio about the Arnie “Conan the king” rumour
    and he said he believes something big is being announced at Comic Con
    but isn’t sure what it is.”

  • James McKenzie

    All eyes on Comic Con. It makes sense for them to roll out on any news they have then.

    uuuuhh.. *trembling* :D

  • Theodarus

    By Crom! When is the next Comic Con then?

  • James McKenzie

    I think Arnold would bring lots of nostalgic memories back into my mind, HIGH ADVENTURES !
