Reminds me of the early 90's and every pitch was "It's like Die Hard, only it takes place on a bus, train, ferris wheel, etc." I love how every genre film now refers to “Batman Begins” as how they’re going to approach the project.

That's too bad because I, too, loved his take on Conan with the first film. I hope they do this one right. It could rival the LOTR films in quality if done properly and seriously.

I really love the first Conan movie, but it was Oliver Stone and John Milus's version of what they thought Conan was like. In the original stories he was never as stupid as they had Arnold play him in the movie. If they adapt R.E.H. stories for the screen and keep it real, then there is no stopping them. If they do a re-hash of the first movie with dumb Conan, then to hell with them. Just look at what Dark Horse did on their first 30 issues of their Conan comic. They kept it real with a great a artist/writer team and played the charater true to the original, and people went nuts for it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

I will forever be a fan of Dino De laurentis because of this film, the direction by John Milus was spectacular as well. I am always up for another try at Conan, It can only be good if done correctly. It must be bloody and Rated-R or don't waste my time! The first Conan movie was a masterpiece, I try to forget that there were two other movies made as they were a disgrace.

The second one, not so much. I always felt it was a shame that they never made a real franchise out of it (again, the second one probably had a lot to do with that). I think they should hire Crazy John Milius as an adviser. He really hit all the right notes and on the first picture. Anyway, I'm excited!
