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”. 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!

Having just read the synopsis i cant help but note this is just a rehash of BOTH the original movies.Another Dino De Horrendous production made by a bunch of office execs who have even less of a clue how to make a movie than he did.The writing was on the wall when they hired that Pathfinder bloke to direct which is already one big homage to Conan the barbarian if not a bona fide remake in itself.Bet he was cheap too.Bryan Singer(another awful choice anyhow)probably was out of Conan mcfranchises price range.Im still angry at this shit after waiting since 1984 for a descent Conan production.Tossers.

I think that if we can get more information about the British production, to give them more publicity, since they seem to be the only ones who care about the fan perspective.

Amen to the whole Acheron bit Steve! 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!

It is true that you are going to close this blog? I´m agree that maybe it´s the best idea because this piece of crap don´t deserve any support… but, man, you put so much effort in the site…

Acheron?!Crom’s teeth!Acheron was a forgotten evil realm vanished to dust thousands of years before Conan’s birth.Why all the glaringly bad inaccuries as well as an insultingly shite storyline?Whats all this being ripped from the womb and dangled before his dying mothers eyes stuff?Blind archers?Where are the dwarves?Surely theres room for them too.

Take a look at that list of producers and executive producers!The sheer amount of people involved shows a totally apathetic business approach.This is seriosly wrong.Theirs no one with any interest in Howard’s work or even making a good movie.Look at the Solomon Kane trailer and thats more or less what Conan will be.Strangely I wager the Red Sonja movie will be the best of the bunch if only for Robert Rodriguez imput.Paradox entertainment?Read bargain basement.Crap director,t.v. actors and special effects knocked up on a laptop during lunch break.Avoid.

Bullshit.Paradox entertainment are bunch of gredy faced lying corporate whores.They dont give two tosses over faithful adaptions or any nonsense that stands in the way of making a fast buck.This will be an absolute terrible film that all true Conan and Robert E. Howard fans would do well to boycott.No one else with an iq over 25 will pay to see this piece of moving wallpaper drivel and hopefully they’ll go bankrupt.By Crom bring back John Milius and Arnie and get Crown of Iron made-NOW!OR TO HELL WITH YOU!!

You know what’s worse of all this?

There’s no sign of LOVE in any of the pieces we are been shown from this vomitive project. No sign.

And fans of Conan or Howard, are actually fans who are mainly moved BY LOVE, a rabious irrational passionate LOVE for the character, his biography, his world, and his creator.

Where’s the RESPECT to that inmense love in this PIECEOFSHIT??? Are you going to tell me these guys who desgined a bunch of characters taken out from a bad D&D game actually share the SAME LOVE for REh’s works than the fans that are waiting for the movie? Are you going to tell me these assholes have read JUST ONE tale of Reh, when they actually claim they are faithful to him and THE ONLY HOWARDIAN CHARACTER IN THE WHOLE SCRIPT IS CONAN????????

There’s NO SIGN OF LOVE, but there’s tons of signs of “we don’t give a shit” here.

Well, you son of bitches, I just don’t give a shit about you, either. Honestly.

Well, do you guys remember what the producers of this pieceofshit said when promoting it?

They said: WE ARE GOING TO BE FAITHFUL TO HOWARD.

And after that, they even said: WAY MORE FAITHFUL THAN THAT BAD MOVIE OF JOHN MILIUS!

Then… Lord… then they rip-off Milius and absolutely IGNORE Howard!!!!!

So… in any case, in any house, in any band, no matter if Howard fan, Milius fan, both fan, or whatever, this people doing this movie are PEOPLE TO BE HATED. Not only for liars. But for liars, burglars, cockies and morons.

THEY INSULTED THEIR AUDIENCE!!!!!!!!! God damn their asses with cancer.
