The reletively unknown actors were more believable then any other major film stars could ever try to be. If the rumors are true and they are redoing the original masterpiece, I fear it will be a waste of time and money for the old fans. To do it right I hope they will imitate that which worked and captured the heart and minds of men to this day. Keep it real. Though the comics made Conan a blabber mouth, the original movie truly captured how a heroic barbarian is a man of few words and who's actions speak louder. Keeping the fight scenes believeable and brutaly real, this should not be pg-13 and Jackie Chan should not be writing the stunts. Stay away from cgi crap! Trick photography and puppetry make Mr. Jones into a snake and shows how a barbarian handles a 30' snake. And for cryn out loud stay away from the scorpian king. thank u the original Conan was pure artistic screen magic.

The character was at least a foot taller than Arnold, and a lot more muscular. Massive is the operative word here. It will be interesting to see who they get. They need to do a casting call and stop limiting themselves to established actors. This part calls for a bodybuilder obviously, but with no accent. Maybe they could film it like "Lord of the Rings" and make him LOOK like a giant. Something to think about. Remember, Conan has BLUE eyes and his kin were, according to Howard, the ancestors of the Scottish Highlanders, so definitely a Celtic or Gaelic connection.

I f you are a wrestling fan you will notice Triple H was dressed almost like Conan so I do believe this is kinda a hint that he will be the next Conan , it is also widely rumored.

I think that these reasons would be lost on any current direction. John tried to make the whole story believable and tried to make it appear as if it could have happened in our own ancient history. He tried to make it more historical than fantasy which is why it was such a better movie than Conan the Destroyer (one of many reasons). I am afraid that anything they make nowdays will be the same old rehashed garbage they feed to the masses like anything else because they know I will still pay to see it. I would still like to see Arnold as Conan. The aged king would still be a good role for him. After all they picked Arnold as the actor before they picked the movie for him to star in.

I first thought that Dwayne (The Rock) Johnson might be a good fit, but no offence to him, I just don't think he's right for this role. Unfortunately, I doubt this movie will be any good, but maybe they can pull it off. There's a lot of potential for this movie to be good, but with all the crap from Hollywood these days when it comes to the #3 films, I'm not gonna hold my breath.
