At the rate the new Conan movie is going, Arnold should be out of office and can take the cameo or even a greater role. Too bad the producers are going with Brett Ratner ('The X Men') rather than Robert Rodriguez as was earlier rumored. Rodriguez could make a pretty cool Conan movie.
Biggest question is, who can replace Schwarzenegger as Conan the Barbarian? I can't think of a current actor or bodybuilder that could fill this role.
'Conan' producer wants Schwarzenegger

The man behind the remake of 1982 film Conan The Barbarian has revealed that he would like Arnold Schwarzenegger to play a part in the project.
Avi Lerner said he recently asked the California governor about a role in the movie, offering him $1 million (£675,000) for a one-day cameo. Although the Terminator star did not accept the offer, Lerner said he is still holding out hope.
"[Schwarzenegger] said: 'Wait two years for me. I'll be coming back.' But I can't wait that long. I told him we could even shoot the scene in Sacramento," Lerner told the LA Times.
"He was smiling, but he didn't say yes. Maybe he can't take the money while he's still governor. That's OK, if he can't take the money, I'd donate it to a charity or give it to a school that needs the money."
He added: "Don't worry, I'll approach him again. I don't give up that easily."
Brett Ratner was recently reported to be in the final stages of talks to direct the movie.

Come on, let these fucking movies rest in peace. Hollywood is getting desperate these these days. Can't they come up with anything original?
-
Hmm. Maybe Arnie in the William Smith (Father) role!? That could work nicely. Remember how they made him up as the King at the end of the movie. :o
-
no one can replace arnold..
they should never even make it..
-
these days, seems like any actor can beef up in 6 months, so really, anyone could play Conan.
-
Offer him 30 million to star in it. Give Arnold 12 weeks to get back in shape and build the story around an older Conan. Hell, if Stallone can do it so can AHHHHnold. ;D
-
Or make it 'Son of Conan' and Arnold's kid can fight the kid of James Earl Jones
Arnie's mom in that movie was fucking hot i can't find a pic of her

will smith

Easy- William Shatner. Shatner is the greatest!!
-
Markus Ruhl with long hair a sword and a pissed off look (no goofy faces) throughout the movie would work .Just the shear mass of that Monster in a movie would sell tickets.
X
-
maybe MemberX as the young conan?
-
I wish they'd stop this shit. The terminator is going to suck because of the lack of Arnold, and so will this. They're ruining classics.

no.. I was going to say maybe you should get gang raped by a mad pack of black pythons be she loves her meat train too much.

if they make the movie in the next two years, brett ratner won't be doing it. the producer made the announcement prematurely. ratner's actually pissed about it. he'd love to do the film, but they're in the final stages of the greenlight for him directing beverly hills cop 4. he's quoted as saying he'd love it, but he IS going to do beverly hills cop first! so they'd just have to wait for him, otherwise...no-go.

actually, arnold will be in the new terminator. roland kickinger is playing the t-800, but they brought arnold
in for a day of shooting and are digitally replacing roland's face with arnold's for the whole movie. dialogue and everything. and roland's body is similar enough, it should be pretty close to the good ol' days.

THE ROCK.

What a fucking stupid decision! Why would Rattner waste his time with a tired old franchise like Beverly Hills Cop? They must be offering him a buttload of money.

let this one rest. $120-$150M to make with a $50M box office. This is the male version of Red Sonia. :-\
-
They should wait old and rugged Arnold to play old and rugged king in King Conan!
If not, Arnold should do Max von Sydows role from the original.
-

Her name is Nadiuska. She's from Germany.

u should be shot for such heresy!!!!

haha I was expecting that ;D
Anyway, this is what Conan is supposed to look like:

I turned down the role. It was a decent offer, but it would interfere with getbig time.

That may be what the author thought Conan would look like, but after Arnold performed the role, there is a new set standard.

Sure, but a lot of readers of the Conan stories by by Robert E. Howard have really enjoyed them and hope that the movies could be more similar.
The Conan in the books is quite different to that depicted by Arnold in the movie.....
-
Saw this dude on the sci fi channel a while back. Guys is a scottish actor named paul tefler. Seems like he would be a good choice.
-
Dwayne Johnson would be a bad decision. I like the guy but too ethnic and doesn't have that hard look / strong jaw Conan requires.
-

I do hope you are shitting me.

Here's another pic.
Which is quite accurate to the way he's described in the stories.

It's Conan the Barbarian, not Conan the European. ;D

The rock looks like shit latlely. He's gonna need to do some beefing up if hes gonna be conan, as I'm sure he will.

Actually, he's not. I've heard the same thing. :-\

AHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! talk about Arnold owning Kickinger without even trying ;D

Actually, it's Conan the Cimmerian :)

Well that sounds pretty good actually.
-
Though the rock is nearly perfect physique-wise, to be true to the story, Conan was from the northern latitudes so he should be more European looking with dark hair. If you get a pretty boy to play the role the movie will suck ass. Its gotta be a harder, even wheathered looking person.
-
c'mon fellas.
The Rock of course.
Arnold passed the torch in that movie.
Remember?
-

Granted. So he is more Ukrainian then, if Wikipedia is correct.
From Wikipedia: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimmeria_(Conan) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cimmeria_(Conan))
"The inhabitants of fictional Cimmeria are loosely based by Robert E Howard on the historical Cimmerians, who lived on the northern Black Sea coast in the 8th and 7th centuries BC."
Maybe Richard 'Little Hercules' Sandrak should play Conan; he's ukrainian.

That is stupid. Pass the torch on.
Arnold could easily play a human being, perhaps someone who the T-800 was modeled after, who has aged since.

So, Russia has what, 300 million people and they can't find one asshole to play this guy?

Leave CONAN alone.
Conan the Barbarian is a classic movie - seriously, a really good movie.
The Destroyer was TERRIBLE, but only people who know nothing about Conan confuse the Destroyer with the Barbarian.
Leave it alone. A remake or sequel will SUCK.
-
maybe Gunther Shillerkamp could pull it off.
but i think he's to old now and he looks pretty crappy compared to Arnold
(http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1273/1033976499_46d7a73dc7.jpg?v=0)
don't think he has the charisma or confidence of Arnold either.
-
when Gunther looked like this he could have done it

Hey Jack did a great job as the Joker. So did Keith Ledger. Cannot compare the two. But both were great. Conan II had to be the worst sequel ever. Absolute toilet. Look forward to the new Conan movies,
