CROM!!!!! ARNOLD!!! CONAN!!!!!


YES! YES! YES!
So, it is being reported that a Conan Film with Arnold is going to be made
MORE EXCITING THAN ANY OTHER ARNOLD NEWS EVER!!!!!
Word is  Schwarzenegger is stepping back into the role for The Legend of Conan, which is being described as “Conan’s Unforgiven .”
Universal will release the film, produced by Fredrik Malmberg of Paradox Entertainment, (which holds the Conan rights - they did that bad reboot), and Chris Morgan, (the guy who wrote the last four Fast and Furious Films)  Universal wants this one to be in theaters for summer 2014. (after that crappy reboot bombed they'd like to make money of the character)
This film will pretend that Conan the Destroyer  didn’t happen, AND will also ignore the 2011 Crappy Reboot .
Here’s what was said:
The original ended with Arnold on the throne as a seasoned warrior, and this is the take of the film we will make. It’s that Nordic Viking mythic guy who has played the role of king, warrior, soldier and mercenary, and who has bedded more women than anyone, nearing the last cycle of his life. He knows he’ll be going to Valhalla, and wants to go out with a good battle…This movie picks up Conan where Arnold is now in his life, and we will be able to use the fact that he has aged in this story. I love the property of Conan so much that I wouldn’t touch it unless we came up with something worthy. We think this is a worthy successor to the original film. Think of this as Conan’s Unforgiven.
Only bad news? I don’t know if the film will be R-rated, which I think it HAS to be Morgan addresses that question:
Will that level of violence be there? Absolutely, but only if it serves a character who lives by that barbarian law of the wild, who is capable of extreme violence and rage, but who has created his own code and operates from within it. By the end of that film, Conan became a certain character, and this film picks him up there, as he faces different challenges that include dealing with age.
