Picked this up off the conan.com forums:

I've lost most of any remaining optimism for this movie. Hopefully Solomon Kane will find a distributor soon though.

From what I read of the characters' back-stories it sounds like a bastardized combination of the first Arnold movie and AoC. I had hoped for better, but there may still be considerable changes before filming starts.

Hmmmmmmmmm.

Being the last of his tribe and having to watch his father die a cruel death, he is determined avenge his peoples slaughter by killing all those who led the attack on the Cimmerians, including the all-powerful Khalar Singh. He is prepared to die in order to accomplish his goal. What Conan did not expect, was to find a reason to live.

A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen's servant, bodyguard and best friend.
She is not in the least intimidated by Conan's size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both.

Is this titled "Conan in Love"?

to me it looks like a bastardized version of the first Ahnold movie and Kull, I honestly like Kull but this is odd, they also seem to have completely ignored REH's very detailed timelines...

That line especially disappointed me. Conan in the land of whining little emo shits. No wonder he became King so easily. lol

Hey, maybe we'll get to see Conan cut himself and cry about his daddy to a soundtrack of 30 Seconds to Mars.

I almost wonder if this is a fake... I mean what is this shit:

Quote:

[ CHEREN ] He's in his 30s, any ethnicity, a blind archer with the mystical ability to strike down any enemy with his bow and arrow. He leads a large band of blind archers whose accuracy and cunning lends a powerful presence to Khalar's army of mercenaries. SUPORTING

A blind archer that leads a group of blind archers?

Wasn't there a Seinfeld episode with a similar character? :kasharin:

Seriously though, shit like that just makes me want to puke

. They should give Conan a sidekick who is a sword-master despite being handless.

I can't believe someone liked Kull...

I stick my hand in lava.
I pull out throwing star of lava.
I use throwing star of the lava.
It fails...
Now some chick gives me fire.
I use fireball of chick.
I win.
WTF?

Movies have such different meaning when you watch them as a kid...

That's Krull, not Kull. Krull wasn't related to anything REH as far as I can remember. There was a Kull the Conqeuror movie that came out in 97 or so, but it was pretty fucking terribad/hilarious.

Krull was awesome, still love that movie.

Amon · **Posted:** October 28 2009, 4:42 pm

Krull w/e...

It was not awesome. If I ever see the bearded homo that played in this flick I WILL kick him in the nuts.

Thom · **Posted:** October 28 2009, 6:49 pm

Awesome.

Fucking a that sounds like a horrible plot for a Conan movie..

Hakon · **Posted:** October 28 2009, 7:30 pm

Yeah Kull the Conqueror is another REH character, he's sort of a precursor to Conan, he lived thousands of years earlier and like Conan rose from barbarity to being the king of one of the civilized nations. The thing that's interesting about the Kull stories is that they tend to be a lot more introspective and philosophical than the Conan tails, where Conan stories often sneak in philosophy in passing, Kull's tails often delve deeper into motivation and the consequences of his actions.

That character synopsis sounds destined to a limited run straight to DVD FAIL..

:kasharin:

Entaro · **Posted:** October 29 2009, 7:19 am

I don't get why it's so hard. Just make HotD a 2-3 hour epic like LOTR and it'll be platinum. Blind Archers? Ninja Bodyguards? :rotfl:

Nabahr · **Posted:** October 29 2009, 8:13 am

Fail...

Eka · **Posted:** October 29 2009, 4:37 pm

I dc what you guys think, I will enjoy this more than the current crop of superhero crap being shown in theaters.

Melkorus · **Posted:** October 30 2009, 7:59 pm

hahaha, another thing I get to say "GAY!!!" to today. It's a good gay day. Fucking gay.
