This movie is going to fail terribly. I have no faith in the casting or the director. What a shame. We are living in an era where ideas are second hand and nothing new or fresh emerges. The feel of the first picture was perfect. The last thing fans want is a cheesy hollywood production with a skinny surfer looking guy that looks like one of Conan’s victims instead of Amra himself. It was never the violence, or magic or the creatures…it was the dark character and the grim world he explored alone. His morals were loose so his decisions were never predictable, thats what makes him interesting, this is going to be predictable and weak…like all the recent cheesy remakes…leave the classics alone…

I think Marcus is great at remaking movies. My only worry is the kid they are talking about using. I know he said it’s not going to be an Arnold look alike contest. But, at the same time, if Marcus’ biggest interest was the character himself, he should know the appearance is a big part of it. That being said, Arnold looked like THE CHARACTER, therfore, so should the new person being cast. Large, VERY muscular, dark haired and European. Period. Please Marcus, me and many others beg you to get someone with a HUGE Arnold like body. Otherwise I will spend the entire movie feeling as of I am watching an imposter.

The actor(I use that term very loosely)they chose for this sucks for Conan(or anything for that matter).The diretor Lionsgate chose(Marcus Nispel),also sucks.I saw Pathfinder.It was a piece of shit.Friday the 13th remake was a total piece of shit(i still want my money and hour and half back on that one).I see a pattern.Hey Marcus,HOW ABOUT READING A FUCKING CONAN BOOK before you going throwing your shit spin on something loved by millions???

conan was my favorite since i was the age of ten.Just the last few years conan is coming back.MCfarlen toys and the new conan game for all consoles.Arnold is who we know as conan the barbarian and destroyer.PLEASE dont find some prettyboy faget with bleached white teeth modern clear english and with shaved chest. If you do this conan will be destroyed.Keep the story of chrom and fix it add to it do something different.Make conan king . show him fight beasts from hell or old norse creatures.Use medievil type war battle music that nobodys heard of get peoples hearts pounding in there seats.Conan i belive has alot of potential. KEEP IT RIGHT AND CONAN WILL CONTINUE TO FIGHT!! TO THE BEST GOOD LUCK!!

I heard that an actor named Andrew McLaren is going to play Conan. Does anyone know if there is any validity in that. Looking at his IMDB pictures I think he would be perfect for the role.

I hope he can get the dark feel of the original Howard, without making it campy.
