Ralph, it does appear the film is going by the "Conan is the last of his people" plot. In early drafts, he was the last Cimmerian altogether, but I think - at least, I dearly hope - that in subsequent drafts, he's only the last of his village. It isn't much better, but at least this way, the film isn't altering history to remove the Irish and Scottish from history. Stampfer, thank you very much for the tips! I'd come across a few of them before, but the Nu Boyana stuff is new to me. I'd been following Rachel's Twitter recently, but I wasn't sure if it was technically newsworthy. Perhaps I'll post the Conan-related ones anyway, just as food for thought. Ylur, cheers for the heads-up! I'll keep an eye on the site. Oh Lord, don’t get me started on Mishmash of the Cretins…

I'm just glad theyre not holding back on the violence, sounds superficial but its crucial to make us believe this verison. ultimately I'd rather see an r rated conan flick than a pg or pg13 one we've all seen what happens there(cough kullsuckscough)or a pg13 thor ( I dont see how it can be made credible unless they were telling the story of a mythical thor not marvels)or any pg13 comic book superhero these days.( except batman maybe).And i would never give this movie any chance at all had they rated it otherwise(cough kull cough redsonja cough suckconan the destroyercough cough choke).Anyway, enjoy your weekend all When it boils down to it, I do think this movie has a chance to entertain.it likely will not become the cult classic conan the barbarian has become, but so what?

And keep the plot similar but not so different as to remind people of the old milius movie, a sort of indirect remake.Any rumors on the plot that were heard( if theyre true at all) point to a simliar outline. Nispel more or less has already done that with his remakes,so where you and I may see reminders of ctb others may not.i think though the focus in this flick will be the action, I dont think the sequences will be dull, if theyre not good this movie is sunk.@ralph: the green lantern pic reminds me of the old flash tv show. No interest in this at all.as much as i like alex ross , i never cared much for his conan. seems a lazy effort compared to his other work. this could be a veiled remake of conan, no doubt. theyre trying to do this cross appeal of the character: hire relatively attractive unknowns but retain roles for popular character actors( lang,perlman).make the claim to lure conan/howard fans by stating this version is closer to howards work, knowing the risk that most hardcore fans of anything are particular and skeptical.

So far he has done no major blunders IMO, and a good director for this movie as it now is. I just think he has the same kind of love for Milus Conan as many of you others here, and that is going to mess up this movie, because Im afraid he will just repeat the misstakes again, like making conan more like the introspective kull in personality.

To tell the truth, I dont think those twitter remarks gave much more info about anything. Now that at least some good quality pics has come out I see no reason to just publish everything that remotely resembles a Conan movie rumor. But its good to know its out there. @wolfie Thats a good full frame of the "riding picture" Nice colours. I think most of the pictures show momoa as really grim and darkeyed, you think there will be any place for Conans Gigantic Mirth in this? The reason I ask is, Nispel said early on he really liked Conans melancholy sides, and that those was what set him apart from other heroes (he also said he had to look up what "mirth" was in a dictionary). I know many conan fans like him dark and grim, but for me, hes also very carefree and full of life. (also Momoa has called Conan "the strong silent type". I have to say it looks more and more as a remake of "the barbarian" in a reimagined art direction (but I dont really want to bring up milius superior care for detail in art direction again). @stamfer.

However, batman is quite used to that in the comics; IMO he has been a vigilante the public dont know if they can trust for many years now(what separate him from the classic batman, and also part of the contrast between him and Superman they have been building for a while). Also, even if I really like the concept, I dont really see the fugitive scenario because Gordon still know the thruth about batman beeing basicly a good guy (and gordons in charge now, right?). I think they will focus on batman rather than any particular main villain, but probably show how he gets darker and more cruel, ruling the underworld with fear, and eventually rethinking his "no killing" policy as representing rock bottom. I think it will give a large focus on Gordon too, perhaps even tell it from his pespective when hes trying to figure out if bats has finally turned to the dark side or not (allowing the audience to not now for sure where they have their main hero).
