Check out the thoughts on the new movie's initial screenplay draft via video here! : latinoreview.com/news/exclusive-a-look-at-the-conan-script-featurette-6246

Just like in AoC, Darkbeasts and Mammoths! Sounds like it is going to be pretty action packed.

    Awesome! So they are going to dig up Robert E. Howard and have a marathon gang-assrape session, just like AoC?

    All I mean't is the namesake of the monsters lol!! (had vision of siege where bunch of people riding mammoths was quite an epic view)

    Deep breath! You should read some comments after that video from the 1st link.

    What do you think it sounds like so far? remember it is just a draft apparently.

    Oh don't worry, "like AoC" or not I'm sure they are going to sodomize the lore...

    I think that is a given. Probably just a case of how much so.

    Hahahahaa.. and I thought the GAME was bad

    Did you guys listen to what the first draft of the script is like? Man that was bad. Sounds like another cheesy Hollywood B-movie that is going to be a 100% failure.

    Maybe they could get Gaute to play Conan and Erling Ellingsen to play his female companion?

    REH will raise from the dead and eat the brains of everyone involved if that crap ever gets produced.

    Sounded promising. Wonder how it will pull through though.

    Uwe Bowl (sp?) has no influence on this movie does he? If not then I have hope that it will be good. Just have to wait and see.

    Pretty sure he doesn't Sev. Sounds like there will be a lot of CGI so I assume will have a decent buget. Lets hope the casting is good.

    There is no actor alive that can do what Arnold did. He's acting was terrible but he's screen presence is amazing.

    No matter who they choose, the public won't accept it because he's not Arnold, and the movie will be an even bigger failure than the game.

    Russel Crow on steroids might be a good choice but first you need to..

    1. Put him on steroids

    2. Convince him to do a B-movie with a cheecy script

    Good luck with that.

    A lot of people are going to see it and then cancel their movie ticket subscription? =)

    Nope. What you are talking about is what happened with AoC. In the movie business failure in defined differently. Movie fails when people are not interested enough to go see it. And this is what most likely will happen with the Conan movie.

    I just hope nobody at Funcom has anything to do with this movie because that would guarantee failure.

    75 + years of Lore history created by the "Father of Sword and Sorcery" a massive film budget based on that well known lore is surely going to get people to go see it whether the film is good or bad.

    Solomon Kane will come first and if that is good and it looks like it will be ok, will be even more worthy screen time from the most well known fantasy author.

    No idea how a straight to DvD movie will help sales of AoC, which was hinted at before.  I liked Arnold's conan movies, they were pretty much the only fantasy RPGish type movies I liked, but it seems like this movie keeps cutting corners and its budget to go lower than B.  Heck they even scrapped the original conan director who offered to do it.

    Oh well,  hmm we should start throwing around ideas like they did for that snakes on a plane movie, it couldn't hurt this title.  Though it does make sense and I feel embarased because normaly I avoid video games trying to cash in on blockbusters, this time I got duped by a VG trying to cash in on a direct to DvD movie, my bad.

    Funcom has reviewed all of its assets relevant for
    impairment testing. This process has led to
    recognition of an impairment loss of around
    3,1 MUSD for Age of Conan due to a decrease in
    numbers of subscribers for the game. Funcom Q4 10 report.

    You really can't help yourself can you. I pity you.

    People who have read and enjoyed the Conan Books/lore, probably didnt appreciate Arnolds interpretation of Conan, I hope they didnt, because Arnold was plain awful. Playing Conan as a dumb brute = fail, big time.

    If this movie is set in Conans older years, get Vladimir Kulich (Buliwyf character in the 13th warrior movie), he has Conan's size and he can act. Picture below.

    I don't see him as a leading man material. Also he's a "nobody" and they need a name.

    Russell Crowe would be perfect. He has that charisma Conan needs. He should do the same thing he did on Gladiator. Steroids would help like the other poster suggested.
