And I must ask: did it need to Begin? If it were a Conan film intended to adhere much more closely to the original stories penned by Robert E. Howard, then there would be cause for guarded enthusiasm. I, myself, was out as soon as I saw the casting call. [...] [...] Conan is being remade; or as Erik would call it: “Conan Begins”.

I have been a Conan fan since...way...back, when graphic novels were called "comic books". Now my kids have taken up the mantle, and we are all pumped about this! As long as they stay true to the Robert E. Howard vision of WHO Conan is. Not the mess they made with the last unmentionable Conan movies (though I enjoyed them anyway-even a sip of water is heaven to a man in the desert...) Cant wait...Just follow the books, man, it's all there! I totally LOVE the idea of Jason Momoa as Conan! I have been a Conan fan since…way…back, when graphic novels were called “comic books”.

I was thinking exactly the same thing, this whole movie is just bits and pieces of Conan and fantasy lore with a sprinkling of money making formula that got shoveled into filmakers mouths and the steaming load they dropped out the other end will be the movie. I think closing the blog would be a bit of a loss, as a community of fans, we can still make the effort to get this changed or stopped. I atleast feel personally obligated to do something to stop REH's name and all his creative work from being dragged through the mud again. Maybe the fact that every response in this thread has been negative will get someones attention. Its still early days..... IF YOUR OUT THERE STOP THIS MOVIE!!! DONT DO IT!
