Unsure…

At first glance you may be unsure about the details however…

Yeah Steve, I think your film will have greater inspiration than this heap. Great, now we have Subati in the guise of Marique…which by the way sucks as a name. Ohhh…I really hate to be a naysayer and grim heckler, but its all i can do to stop from tearing my monitor in half. I just don’t understand….you have loads of novels and material why on earth…why by God would someone say…hhmmm I have this iconic character thats been around since the Depression with all these stories to go along with this character…I have an amazing idea! Why don’t I scap ever bit of it, keep the name, and write a whole new story line?! Genius…yes, pure genius!!!

Again , chris we all understand your point , but as i said to rabenwolf in a different post this is a crowd who is very knowledgeable on the subject matter and a group in which the majority has been let down by howard translations in the past ( unless you consider red sonja conan the destroyer and kull comedies) and as waldgeist just stated the stars are not lining up properly and and most of what we heard is being confirmed true. If there were writers here that had the opportunity, hell yeah I think they can do a better job .And yes it would be great if momoa surprised us but I dont think he can keep the script afloat. look at quantum of solace. like it or hate it ( most hated it) one thing people really didnt complain about was daniel craig’s performance. is momoa capable of carrying a 100mil plus movie?

@Chris
We are not “trashing” it based on how we think it should be, rather on the omens on the horizon.

* Millenium(AviLerner) – Known to push out cheap, low quality cash-ins, known to hire cast to bring in people, but not known for quality
* Marcus Nispel – “Craftsmens” director that never delivered something that was more than “ok”. Known for has “fast shooting” and the “never look back approach”. Known for Pathfinder… nuff said
* Donnelly/Oppenheimer – Known for cheap, low quality, bad pacing, bad storyline, horrible dialogue, through all their to-date projects. Known for Sahara.
* Jason Momoa – Known to be a third rate cable actor (HE could surprise us all that’s really true)

Some of us have read the script of this abomination. Nothing in this production points towards quality or even generally enjoyable fantasy movie. This production stinks of “Scorpion King” style, without having a charismatic lead like The Rock, to make it at least enjoyable. The script some of us have read is horrible. Bad, unimaginative storyline, badly written dialogue, bad pacing, horrible portrayal of the Conan character and STUPID ending. The fact, that some attack it because it has NOTHING to do with Robert E. Howards Conan is just the TIP of the iceberg.

We have every reason to be concerned or even angry at this production at this point.

Ok.Someone lend me a camera, I’ll film the wholething in my back yard with the local jock as Conan and the nearest cheerleader as the leading lady.Then I’ll whip up some effects on my laptop using photoshop and have the whole thing out just in time for Christmas.

I think everyone is nuts! Rachel will do an AWESOME job as Tamara. Sure, Gi Joe didnt pan out like they hoped but the casting was’nt bad at all. I thought it was rather good. Rachel is a very talented young actress, not to mention gorgeous and I have full faith that she will do a great job. Give it a chance for!! The movie is still a baby and people are already trashing it with a preconception of how they think it should be. How about you go out there, write it, cast it, direct it and we’ll sow hoe good it is.

ugh the t.v show , what was that like ten whole episodes? what scares me is that this movie won’t bomb( as it likely deserves to) because all the people who don’t know conan but like movies like lotr or gladiator 300 will go and see. i’ve actually read somewhere that most of nispels movies have turned a profit. ” the horn is his strength !” ” tear out the horn!!!”
