"Conan - Der Barbar" (1982) machte Arnold Schwarzenegger zum Weltstar... Drehbuchautor und Regisseur John Milius setzte die Pulp-Novels von Robert E. Howard gekonnt in Szene. Oliver Stone arbeitete am Drehbuch von Milius mit und die Szenenbilder des Comic-Zeichners Ron Cobb waren die perfekte filmische Umsetzung der Howardschen Fantasy-Welt...
Um den Mord an seinen Eltern zu rächen, verfolgt Conan den bösartigen Thulsa Doom (James Earl Jones) mit Hilfe von Königin Valeria (gespielt vom B-Movie-Queen Sandahl Bergman) und Subotai dem Mongolen (Gerry Lopez)...
Der Erfolg wurde mit dem mehr oder minder gelungenen "Conan - Der Zerstörer" (1984) fortgesetzt...
"Conan" Neuverfilmung kommt !!!
Seit Jahren waren eine mögliche Neuverfilmung und/oder eine Fortsetzung (Arbeitstitel "King Conan - Crown of Iron") im Gespräch, aber Warner Bros. schaffte es nicht einen Film auf die Beine zu stellen... Nun bemühen sich Nu Image/Millennium Films und Lionsgate um eine "Conan" Neuverfilmung, die 2011 in die Kinos kommen und mehrere Filme nach sich ziehen lassen soll... Am 15. März 2010 begannen die Dreharbeiten unter der Regie von Marcus Nispel (u.a. "Pathfinder") beginnen - mit Jason Momoa (u.a. "Stargate Atlantis", "Baywatch") in der Titelrolle !!!
Zuvor sollte der Zeichentrickfilm "Conan: Red Nails" veröffentlicht werden, aber es sieht nicht wirklich danach aus... *g*

Said Taghmaoui, who played Breaker in the summer hit "G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra," has booked a role in "Conan," Nu Image/Millennium's take on the barbarian warrior created by Robert E. Howard.
Stephen Lang, the bad guy in "Avatar," has come aboard as the villain of the movie directed by Marcus Nispel.
Taghmaoui is playing a leader of thieves who is saved by Conan (Jason Momoa) and later offers him aid. Lang is a ruler in search of a queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of a long-lost god.
Mickey Rourke was in talks to play Conan's father, but those discussions fell apart. The role remains open.
Shooting is scheduled to start this week in Bulgaria.
Taghmaoui, repped by Innovative Artists and the Collective, also appeared in "The Kite Runner" and had a stint on ABC's "Lost." [...]

MTV.com meldet...
No stranger to playing a villain, "Avatar" actor Stephen Lang will soon make the jump from high-tech military to swords and sorcery as the warlord Khalar Singh in "Conan."
Lang confirmed rumors that he'd been offered the role during an interview with MTV News conducted Sunday evening on the Oscars red carpet. Lang, who played Colonel Miles Quaritch in "Avatar," will star opposite Jason Momoa, who recently reported that the film will be based on Robert E. Howard's original "Conan" novels as opposed to past film iterations.
"I've accepted the role of Khalar Singh," Lang told MTV News when asked about the rumor.
The casting was first reported on Latino Review last week, with the site claiming Lang had been offered the role and citing an anonymous source within Millenium Films.
"I have no idea how I'm going to do it," Lang laughed. "First I'm going to find out how I'm going to sound. I'm going to get back on a Mongolian pony and ride like the wind. I'm going to flash my scimitar. I'm going to cut the nuts off Conan and his father." [...]

Latino Review meldet...
[...] Rachel Nichols, the hottie who played Scarlett in G.I. JOE and the red headed Orion woman Cadet Gaila in Star Trek looks like she got the Tamara gig in Marcus Nispel’s "Conan." Nichols would be the 2nd G.I. JOE cast member to join Conan - Leo Howard, who played young Snake Eyes booked the young Conan gig as we first reported here.
Nichols edged out other contenders like Cloverfield’s Jessica Lucas and the L Word’s Sarah Shahi.
According to the leaked casting breakdown from last year...
Tamara is 18 to 24 years old, Caucasian or Middle Eastern, open to all ethnicities; beautiful, studious, correct, a novitiate of a Greek influenced monastery. A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen’s servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other female bodyguards to the queen have been in hiding most of their lives because of the curse of Acheron, which would take the queen’s life to bring almost immortal power to its king. When Khalar Singh, a powerful warlord with ambitions to become the king of Acheron, storms the monastery and captures all of the novitiates, she is separated from Ilira, the one she must protect. With all of her strength and will, Tamara is determined to find and rescue her. She finds herself in league with Conan because of a mutual need to find Khalar Singh. 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... LEAD

Bei Deadline Hollywood gibt es den letzten Stand in Sachen "Wer spielt Conan !?!" in der Neuverfilmung...
[...] Director Marcus Nispel is on track to start production March 15 in Bulgaria - if they can find the right barbarian. Last weekend, it seemed like things came down to two buff finalists: Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga sequels New Moon and Eclipse), and Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex in the TV series Stargate: Atlantis). Suddenly, Millennium and partner Lionsgate decided today to look at another unnamed but better established actor before deciding. [...]

Wie MTV.com meldet, würde sich Dolph Lundgren gerne in der "Conan"-Neuverfilmung sehen...
[...] "I've talked to the producers about doing something for 'Conan,'" actor Dolph Lundgren told MTV News [..].
"Conan" shares a team of producers with Lundgren's upcoming Sylvester Stallone film "The Expendables," which might have opened the way for the opportunity. Asked what type of role he'd be looking for, Lundgren cautioned that casting is still going on and whether there is a role for him at all likely wouldn't be decided until 2010.
"It's too early," he said, explaining that he didn't expect to know more until "probably next year."
As a screen presence with a considerable legacy behind him, Lundgren might be a good fit for the Khalar Singh part, described in the movie's casting call as "commanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won." Other parts in the casting call include Conan's father, Corin, and a mercenary named Lucius. [...]
