Gotcha, some fanfiction art from a poster at deviantART should be taken as gospel over a creator approved image.

I read the entire series and saw all the cover art and nothing remotely resembled Mowgli or some runway model. If that's what puts a fire in your shorts spend your quarter. Maybe your Conan can do his rendition of bare necessities of life and fall on a banana while wearing a stunning rag made by Vera Wang.

Honest question. I loved the original as a kid... and I know there are Conan comics... but I have no idea which came first.

Books or comics came way before Arnold.

LOL. In the absence of an ape intelligent enough to play a Hollywood speaking role, I think Momoa is more than a reasonable likeness to the character. And certainly not Fabio-like.

This movie will suck. I'm sure they sacrificed plot and dialogue for the CGI budget. Just another Mummy/Hulk CGI abortion.

The girl in Conana was a fat, drug-doing mexican dude who favors illegal immigation and is underemployed at some bill collection agency?

Anyone know If this is going to be "R"? I'd hate to see a PG13 Conan.

No worries, I'm sure it's gotta be R with Maybelline in it. It's probably not for the gratuitous violence though.

I don't know how you ever recreate what's in my mind when I think of the Conan series but at least give it the ol college try. Hollywood always seems to do it's very best though to take in a direction that just totally pisses on the memory. Whether it's taking a feeble child and making him Spiderman or it's taking America's next top model and making him Conan. Give me a break.

Both images are exaggerations, big time, of the author's intent.

6'2, 210 may have been huge for Conan's time, but it's commonplace today.
