Schwarzenegger To Return To Conan Universe
It looks like we're about to find out what else is best in life. After nearly thirty years, Arnold Schwarzenegger will return to the role of Conan, the barbarian sword-swinger that helped put him on the map. Schwarzenegger starred in two of these films previously: 'Conan the Barbarian' (1982) and 'Conan the Destroyer' (1984). Universal has just made a deal to set in motion 'The Legend of Conan.' The story for the new Conan was written by Chris Morgan ('Fast Five') who will most likely end up writing the script if he can finish the screenplay for the seventh 'Fast and the Furious' film. According to one producer, the new film will not ignore how much its star has aged since the original...
"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.”
I guess it's good that their acknowledging Arnold's age, because the guy is really getting up there. More to the point, he's reaching a point wherein his continued appearances in large-scale action films is becoming sad. In fact, this project may be the saddest yet. There is no need for another Conan the Barbarian movie. The remake with Jason Momoa tanked sharply and should have more than solidified within the Hollywood hivemind that the audience for the continuation of this franchise just isn't there. They may attract a small number of diehard Arnold fans with 'The Legend of Conan,' but I can't imagine the end product being anything more than his mugging for the camera while the younger cast does all the heavy lifting. Am I being short-sighted?
What do you guys think? Could another Conan movie with Arnold work? Will nostalgia trump logistics?

First of all, is there such a thing as continuity anymore? I mean two Schwarzenegger Conan films, then a long wait, then a new version and now back to the old one?
Also what's with this Viking Valhalla nonsense, since when is Conan a Viking?

I like the sound of it - I can remember reading a couple of Coan stories about when he was a King and in his 60s, and even seem to rember one dealing with his journey across a great sea to what was clearly North America. They'll need to cut out all the cheesey dialogue though, and try to play it as stright as possible

If Arnold wasn't a household name, it would be funny if the video Acebandg posted were presented to prospective directors and producers as his acting demo reel.

I was so cool with this movie taking up at the end of the first until I read who was writing the screenplay. I fear, instead of character depth, this movie will be all flash and no substance. I guess we'll all see.
