What the ? That guy doesn't look anything like Conan. And who's playing Andy and Max?
Seriously.... what the are they thinking?

Personally, I think this movie going to ing suck... I really hope I'm wrong though.... I have a sliver of hope that they bring back the true writings of Robert E. Howard.... but I doubt it knowing hollywood these days and their ty remakes....
Mark my words, they will make Conan some metrosexual like those vampire movies to appeal to the massive pussy overload for semi- 's on screen.... not quite gay, but just stepping the line to appeal to womens "ideal" guy. Nevermind the whole mythos of Conan.... Lets just on Robert E. howards idea for money!!!
This is Conan... played by a pretty-boy from hawaii who apparently was on "Bay Watch" and had a few episodes of Stargate:Atlantis.... Jason Momoa
Seriously... when did Conan become a pretty-boy ?
Dolph Lundren would have been a better cast for the part....
If ANYONE is going to carry this movie, Its going to be Ron Pearlman as Corin.
!!!!

that guy looks at least part negro. why everything gotta cater to black people now?
Looks like a and this movie has suck written all over it, he's a big reason. Just like with the new Predators movie, the casting had WAY too much thought put into it. Like Clash of the ans, this will come and go like the rest of the recent remake/sequels, get about a 5.5 on IMDB, then occasionally be shown on TNT or FX around 1am. ing fail
I'm not impressed - wish they had made the King Conan movie that Milnius (sp?) wrote the script for 10 years ago. But seeing this image:
Conan
makes me think it's possible (but unlikely) that it won't completely suck.
Who did they cast for the tree of woe?
They will never find anyone for Conan better than Arnold; just like they will never be able to out cast predator 1. Was Arnold a ty actor during Conan, Yes. Was he Conan, yes.
Momoa has a chance of pulling it off.
Who's going to play Bombatta now that wilt chamberlain is deceased?
Forget that. I want to know who they cast as the chick he throws in the fire while he's banging her.
To clarify.... this is not a remake of the origional Conan... It's an origin story. Kind of Like how Conan the Barbarian was.... I think it's supposed to fill the gaps from when Conans father and tribe where killed up to the point where he wins his freedom, with some changes.... like he kills 5 of the pictish warriors that raid his tribe while at the age of 12.
There will not be a Thulsa Doom or Bombatta in this movie.
Still, its going to suck.
I give it 3 weeks in theatres then straight to DVD.

No....
Momoa does not have a chance in Kroms eyes at all of pulling this off.
Arnold was as close as it gets to the REAL Conan from the novels, and even he barely pulled it off in my eyes. Unlike most people, I have read Howards books. The origional Conan movie was a carebare adaptation to film compared to the real thing in the novels.
This.... this is just blasphemey.
Seriously.... read the origional Howard books about Conan.... The dude was ruthless in every sense of the word. He literally took no from anyone and had no qualms about killing them on the spot for the slightest thing, and he would do it in the most violent way possible.
If they ever did a TRUE adaptation of the literature, it would make the latest Rambo movie look like a kids cartoon. He would probably come across as the bad guy in a horror movie unless you knew his back-story... thats why Hollywood wont do it.
hopefully, with the success of "The Expendables", and before that "Rambo", hollywood will loosen up and allow a really badass violent 80's style movie to be released soon.
America has been craving for non-thinking violent movies.... It's been a while since there was a good one. I mean... Come on.... The best we got in recent years is "The Expendables" from the Italian Stallion, "Inglorious Basterds" from Quentin Tarantino and thats really about it....... Im sure there are other people that can make a movie like that.

Andrew Bynum
Hot! I'm there.
idk, it looks pretty weak... it should be a dark movie
No, he doesn't.
He looks like... well, pretty much what one would expect a Hawaiian with the last name Momoa to look like.
I bet he can't do this...
Looks like they might be chasing the 300 crowd. Hollywood is soooooooooooooooo boring these days.
Hans "Dolph" Lundgren (born 3 November 1957...
Dude is 52 years old.
Never saw any Conan episodes where it said he was blond and blue eyed, but it has been a while since I picked up an old copy of the black and white comic.
I think the Rock (Dwayne Johnson) would be a good "fit", although he would have to grow his hair out for a year or so.
I do agree though that Mr. Mamoa's prime strength in the role is to get drooling women into the theaters. Solid business decision, and I have little doubt that calculus is outweighed by geeky outrage. (no offense intended)
This movie is going to suck.... I can feel it....
Looks like a SyFy movie origional.
Crom is not pleased.
Nothing in that trailer got me excited for it, especially knowing it'll never reach the heights of epicness of this clip...
That's what Conan is about. Being a real man, ing es, and killing fools. "I live. I love. I slay." LOL, gtfo with that .
Actually, have you ever read the books?
Arnold was nothing like the Conan from the books written by Howard. Still, the movies where classic, and I dont think Jason Mamoa can pull it off, but this new movie is supposed to be a true adaptation from Robert E. Howards vision of Conan.
If Conan had to be compared to a real figure in our history, Conan is a mirror image of the Last King Mithridates Eupator VI, except that Conan doesnt lose.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mithridates_VI_of_Pontus.
Interesting fact, Pontus is a derivative of my last name Ponton. This is part of my family history as well. My family hasnt traced our lineage that far back to prove it unquestionably, but its there.
