“I know a lot will disagree.But if its a toss up between him and that guy out the twilight movie i would prefer the other guy.”

Are you kidding!?! I have my problems with Momoa, but he’s ten times better than Lutz any day of the week.

Holy crap, that man is huge. If this is going to be Momo’s enemy then poor Momo. He will squeeze him like an orange.

Wow…a remake of Arnold’s movie is now confirmed. I loved THAT movie, but it is nothing like the novels and a 2d replica of Howard’s 3d vision. This whole thing seems vey hack and unispired. The revenge motivation is a tired and worn out drive for a character and it is absolutley not Conan’s motivation. I wonder what the hell they are thinking…come on you guys are screwing this whole thing up. Wake up and have some balls. Stick to Howard’s vision…why am i wasting my time its falling on the deaf ears of Hacks.

I can picture Rourke as conans father.His rugged look.
Still fingers crossed that Momoa for some unearthly reason pulls out of playing Conan.
I know a lot will disagree.But if its a toss up between him and that guy out the twilight movie i would prefer the other guy.
The reason why i say this is because there is a familur picture of Conan by Frazetta where he is standing on corpses and and female at his side.(Like most i know):P
And i can picture that same grim look as he looks in the first twilight movie in cetain shots.But thats my opinion as we are free to have:)

Rumble fish is one of my all time favourite films.Rourke can fight but do I see him as Conan’s daddy?It seems an odd choice to put such a talent amongst a load of no hopers like this lot.Does this mean the rewrite stretches out Corin’s part more?Do I really care?This movie still stinks of $h#t.

I admit I dont have a clear picture of Conans father, but I have the impression Corin was rather laid back, the quiet smith staying with his family, while Conan takes after his restless granddad.
Anyway this cast seems like the standard “one-good-established-actor-cast” most crappy fantasy movies nowdays have (often played by Ron Perlman)
