Well here it is!! Arnold has issued a statement to start KING CONAN!!!
https://www.instagram.com/p/Btv_DxaHzj4/
It will be epic.
And all you Getbigger's should know that my best buddy Roy Thomas was the guy who brought CONAN to Marvel comics back in 1971 and started the whole Sword and Sorcery movement of the 70's and 80's. He also wrote CONAN The DESTROYER (and the animated feature FIRE AND ICE and co-created Red Sonja). Now that Marvel has gotten back the rights to CONAN last year, they are re releasing all his Conan comics for a whole new generation.
The Red Sonja movie is currently in the works of being produced (although they have stopped production due to Bryan Singers rape accusations). Can't wait for that.
Anyway, here's Roy Thomas' story with Arnold he wrote just for you.
CROM!!!
It's great to see Arnold and Conan reunited, since I felt that (except for Grace Jones in the second one), he was the main thing that was good about either of the movies. Well, James Earl Jones had made a good Thulsa Doom, too.
I remember the day I met Arnold, some time before the first movie began filming. I was invited to go see a test scene being shot because it was being done only a few blocks from the house my wife Dann and I rented in Hollywood. (I knew it was being done because, the day before, while Dann and I were in a major costume shop looking for swords, etc., to wear to a party as Conan and Red Sonja, someone from the studio was there shopping for props for the very same shoot that would be the next day!) Anyway, I got a chance, with mostly just technicians there, to watch Arnold and Milius' surfer buddy (who would appear in the film) sitting around a campfire eating some kind of meat on a bone, while discussing the gods, Crom, etc.--basically dialogue that would appear in the movie later. But it was hard not to chuckle because there, just a couple of feet from Arnold's beefy leg, and thus just out of camera range, was the source of the food they were eating: a Kentucky Fried Chicken basket. Arnold and I said hello to each other, and he was very gracious.
2-3 years later, after the filming of the movie "Conan the Destroyer" was basically over (and before producer Dino DeLaurentiis tried to deny my then-partner Gerry Conway and me screen credit on it after it was rewritten, which happily the Writers Guild of America West stopped him from doing), Dino held a nighttime party at his then-famed "Beverly Hills fast-food place." Arnold saw us over there, must've recognized me from our one meeting, and came over and started talking to us as we were all eating something-or-other. It was just idle chitchat, but as he walked away, he said with his thick Austrian accent: "I always liked your screenplay the best." That's when I knew he'd make a good politician... that, and the fact that he'd remember me from that brief encounter 2-3 years earlier. He had charisma, and I'm sure he still has it. I'm only sorry there apparently isn't going to be a third Schwarzenegger Conan movie, even if I've long since given up on Hollywood (including the part Gerry and I played in it) catching the spirit of Robert E. Howard's wondrous hero on film.
Best,
Roy Thomas

They have to do it with the same formula as the original....minimal speaking, great battle scenes (no CGI fuckery) a brilliant musical score....as much as I would love to see it I don't think it will ever happen or if it does will be a total shit show as almost everything out of Hollywood pedophile land has been lately!!

But can the current political and social climate (#metoo et al), HANDLE IT????

Second the no CGI bullshit. Let's get back to basics for christs sake.
-
I'll buy a ticket to see that. Hollywood will probably cuck it up though.
-
A raw character like Conan has no place in this generation ...
Arnold hasn't done a decent movie in years ...
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
Storyline....King Conan gives away his riches to the people and ends up handing the throne to his lesbian daughter and her huge moorish warrior companion.
-
Given his cuckish ways, I wouldn't be surprised if the title character was called "King Gonad, the Sauvage".
Arnold is a cucktard now so FTN.

there's only one king and that's king kamali

they should make a conan movie with only bodybuilders
-
Arnold is a disgrace these days
No balls, and goes on and on about gerrymandering all day
Not going to be surprised when the metoo movement go after him in full force with all those hidden skeletons he’s keeping
-
thats why we need a conan movie without arnold.

Don't forget Romano and Lee Priest (Playing the vultures ) when Conan is crucified . ;D
WoooSHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
-
If he makes a " Game of thrones " Conan type of movie. He's back !
-
Hollywood would mess it up. They would include 115lbs women "warriors" to be politically correct. The evil would have some conservative attributes along with saving the world from global warming. The liberal preaching would be inserted throughout the movie.
-
How long people been kicking this idea around?... 20 years? Will never happen.
-
the conan barbarian from 2011 was a huge loss at the box office so they probably think twice before they try that again

Agree, what they were thinking? A Conan movie without Arnie. That guy was also small and a terrible actor.

I hated that movie with Jason Mamoa. He was smaller than his enemies and at the beginning of the movie when he's like 10 years old and untrained he defeats a whole tribe of natives by himself. ::)

Conan will be cast as a strong woman bossbabe.

Terminator and Conan worked because the main character was very muscular.
Arnold will b 72 this summer ( with the speed of a 80 year old man )

Yeah, I don't see many epic sword fights with a saggy, old, slow and weak Conan.
-
Yeah about 30 years to late on this one

luckily for us not everyone get mega fat like basil ...........

he will be the king and his mixed race lesbian daughters and transgender son will be the warriors.
Whoever is the warrior , will be the main character of the movie. Like Anthony Hopkins playing Thors dad sure he did a decent job , but in movies of these nature old people can't be the main character or more than 20 mins on screen.
Arnold would look like a Parody of Conan with a sword riding a horse and trying to knock out a camel with a single punch. Lol.
