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

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.

It was called Conan the Destroyer.

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.

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.

Sorry guys about answering the same post twice. But it occurred to me that only half a century ago, Jimmy Dean's lyrics of "Big John" referred to the "giant of a man" as " stood six foot six and weighed 2-45." Those are the numbers of an average (a bit lanky) linebacker on almost any college campus.

Just sayin'.

Well since we are going back in the day as you put it where are they going to go get a bunch of dark haired dark skinned midgets to play the picts?

That movie was already produced.

It's called "Willow".
