Amph And Unto This, Conan: Destined to Bear the Jeweled Crown of Aquilonia Upon a Troubled Brow...

Don't forget Dino De Laurentiis and his sweet, sweet mob contacts.

 

It won't be ignoring this will it?

 

I am, I think, one of the only people out there who enjoyed the 2011 film.

 

Yeah Momoa was far closer to Howard's vision that Ah-nold was.

 

Could be cool, if they get Millius back on board and let him run with his ideas for his King Conan script. Arnold is actually the perfect age for that one now.

 

Oh don't get me wrong; I love the 1982 film. I think it's the best fantasy film made, Lord of the Rings be damned. It's exactly what fantasy films should be, on every level.

But a few years ago (maybe 2006?) I got this: http://www.sfsite.com/~silverag/howard.html

I'd only read Robert Jordan's Conan works but the original was an interesting revelation, and you're right about Momoa's spring-coiled energy. That's how a lot of Howard's stories have him.

 

How? Are they going to make a topic out of how old he has become since Arnold does not look like that anymore?

 

Ahnuld's back.

2014. Mark it down on your calendar, folks.

No word on a release date for the porn parody with the same name.

JTS EDIT: Merged redundant threads.

 

Looking forward to see how this develops. I like Momoa, but his Conan film was severely lacking..

 

No kidding. Ahnuld has not aged well, though I suspect he may have done one or two ill advised facelifts as well.

 

Roid up for one last huge money maker?

 

This is slightly cheating. On the left is 235 pounds Arnold, on the right is old Arnold a couple of weeks after heart surgery.



Arnold as 220 pound Conan(he actually said he did not move as well at higher weight and slimmed to 220).

He just can't be out of shape for this but who knows, his head was cgi'd onto a body for Terminator Salvation and it worked though he never looked like te body used.
Perhaps my main concern is quality. The first Conan flick is awesome. It did not do well at the box office and for the sequel they toned it down for a PG rating and even the theme music...the awesome theme music...was watered down. I liked the 2nd movie but it was just a silly costume version of the epic brutality of the 1st.

Here, 11 minutes you will not regret:

 

Different arrangement, same awesome:

 

Ok, the picture on the right, is just....ewww.

 

I'll be honest, considering he's 65, that's not terrible. It's not spectacular, but could be way, way worse.

Besides, based on the OP I'm pretty sure the premise is "Old, weary, and weathered Conan" so he certainly fits the bill.

 

Arnold now



So yes, the above beach pic is way out of date.

 

Are the tats new, or makeup for a film?

 

Makeup for a film called Ten.
