Meet the new Conan.
Before he was the Terminator, Arnold Schwarzenegger was Conan the Barbarian. The 1982 film wasn't in the same league as some of Ah-nold's bigger hits, but it remains a cult favorite. Today, the first trailer for the remake, starring the formidible Jason Momoa in the title role, hit the Web. Momoa, who will receive CinemaCon's Rising Star of 2011 Award, may be best known for his work on "Stargate: Atlantis" and "Baywatch." Several years ago, Momoa and Lisa Bonet made news after they named their child Nakoa-Wolf Manakauapo Namakaeha Momoa. Momoa's mother later explained that Nakoa means "warrior." Should Momoa's version of "Conan the Barbarian" be a hit, interest in the actor with intimidation to burn is sure to rise. Indeed, he's already surging in the Search box. Over the past seven days, online lookups for "jason momoa" have flexed their muscles, jumping 44%. You can check out the new trailer for "Conan the Barbarian" below. The film is scheduled to hit theaters this August. http://blog.movies.yahoo.com/blog/88...-the-new-conan |

Conan the Barbarian was great because of the 3 villain roles. Ben Davidson and Sven Ole Thorsen were massive. It doesn't come close to the source material but it's enjoyable for what it is.
This new Conan movie looks okay but there's no way its going to be better. Ahnold's Conan had just 2 or 3 lines that were longer than a couple of words. they really played to his strengths. Conan the Barbarian had epic music from Basil Poledouris too. The new movie might suffer from depending on an unknown to take on the role and act.

Even as far back as only 2000 years ago the most common man was about 5-6 to 5-7 (according to some program I watched either on history Channel or Discovery). All of those tall heroic looking Romans, for example, speaking with classic English accent on the screen wouldn't look and sound so awesome and imposing if we went back in time and met them.

Also they do a good job with "epic music" and all the other stuff you mentioned if they put proper effort into it. You act with conviction like this is gonna be SciFi channel movie. We don't know yet the quality they aim to put out. |
