Tapped2strikes Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 http://www.superherohype.com/news/articles/173359-arnold-schwarzenegger-returning-for-the-legend-of-conan Arnold Schwarzenegger is set to once again crush his enemies, see them driven before him and to hear the lamentation of their women. Deadline reports that the actor, who starred in 1982's Conan the Barbarian and in 1984's Conan the Destroyer, will reprise his role as the Cimmerian warrior in The Legend of Conan, a new Robert E. Howard adaptation in the works from Universal Pictures. Details are few on the plot of the new film, but it is said to ignore the events of both Conan the Destroyer and of the most recent reboot, 2011's Conan the Barbarian, which features "Game of Thrones" star Jason Momoa in the lead. ?The original ended with Arnold on the throne as a seasoned warrior, and this is the take of the film we will make,? producer Frederik Malmberg tells the site about where The Legend of Conan picks up. ?It?s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he?ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle.? Following his time in politics, Schwarzenegger has been lining up projects left and right. He recently starred in The Expendables 2 and will re-team with Sylvester Stallone in next year's The Tomb. Schwarzenegger can next be seen in The Last Stand, the english language debut of director Kim Jee-Woon, and is currently filming David Ayer's Ten, an action drama that revealed its first behind-the-scenes photo earlier today. Malmberg and Chris Morgan are attached to produce The Legend of Conan. Morgan has already plotted the story himself and may also provide the screenplay, aiming for a summer 2014 release.

chons Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I liked the 1st a lot, and it held up to time OK. The Destroyer wasn't nearly as good but still entertaining. The one they made last year was abysmal IMO, that guy was a pitiful Conan. I feel like this one could be good by the description of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Enigma_Machine Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Awesome. The first one was my favorite movie as a kid. I've wanted to see king Conan since I was about 5 years old ever since mako narrated "that is another story" or something similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Yeah, the reboot was appalling in almost every way. I thought judging from the beginning that it was gonna be a blast, but it failed hard. This continuation from the original sounds most interesting, and it can't possibly be worse than the reboot.

classicboxer Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I don't want to see 70 year old action heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skullbone Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 Sweet! I actually respect classics and classical action heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tapped2strikes Posted October 25, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 I don't want to see 70 year old action heroes. He still has tap-to-slice power in both edges of his blade. Cardio could be an issue, though. We just have to hope that his new enemy is not explosively athletic like Thulsa Doom. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NewGuy2000 Posted October 25, 2012 Report Share Posted October 25, 2012 If they keep Arnold's dialogue to a minimum like they did in Conan the Barbarian, this movie could be a big hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the original, the only things he says to Valeria are "You're no guard" and "No". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
