Episode 207: Conan the Barbarian
Special Guests: Edward R. Pressman, Sven-Ole Thorsen, Gerry Lopez, Roy Thomas, Paul M. Sammon, Mark Finn, Sean Hood, Josh Adkins
Guest Co-Hosts: Josh Hadley & El Goro
Let us tell you of the days of high adventure....
In a truly epic episode of The Projection Booth, we look at John Milius's Conan the Barbarian. The film put Arnold Schwarzenegger on the map and kicked-off years of sword & sorcery imitators.
Along with El Goro of Talk without Rhythm and Josh Hadley of Radiodrome, we explore the fiction of Robert E. Howard, the Marvel Comics version of the Barbarian and the subsequent sequels and reboot to the 1982 film.
Clocking in at seven hours, this is not a podcast for the weak.

he should have lou ferrigno star as his jester

I'm actually excited about this one.
-
Hell Yes!!!

Sadly, I am Absolutely certain that if they actually make this they will fuck it up. Hollywood doesn't know how to do something sufficiently masculine anymore. Indeed, I think the original Conan was something of a fluke. It turned out well because of Arnold's physique, James Earl Jones' presence and willingness to push the envelope on bloody pit scenes and gore and sex.
I don't pray to Crom much, I havent the tongue for it, but if they make this and it sucks then to hell vit them.

Real? It's a movie! You know, make up, stunt doubles, special effects, computerized editing to de-age Arnold. All he has to do is read the script in his unique voice and accent. You know, as in, "No It's Not A Tooma!"
-
arnolds in shape and the script is about an older conan, just depends on if the script is good and if they get a decent director.
But if this has come from thearnoldsfans don't hold your breath its happening when that report said

I agree that a good story/script is what is most needed. Anyone can do special effects and explosions and superhero bullshit. The script will, however, suck because the country in general and Hollywood in particular is tremendously confused about masculinity and strength and many of the themes that made the first movie great.
They could make a really really great movie if someone had some understanding of how and why the Conan character resonates in the psyche of the American male of a certain age. They could have themes of strength, success through effort and hard work, and fatherhood. All things present in the first movie. They could have Conan mulling over deeper and deeper understandings of The Riddle of Steel. They could explain exactly why in his older years Conan came to wear the jeweled crown of Aqulilonia upon a troubled brow because he came to a fuller and more mature understanding of war and fighting and it's unfortunate necessity in the brutal world, especially what with all the war fatigue after the Iraq thing.
Instead, they'll make some stupid superhero type action pic a lot less well done than something like the Avengers or Captain America. They'll puss out just like they did with the remake of Red Dawn.
What is steel compared to the hand that weilds it?

I've been a Robert E Howard fan since I was a kid. Hope they do this one right!

And the character is an old, worn out King!
Somebody else does his killing for him. He just drinks and fornicates.
Like Robert Baratheon in GoT.
