| Sinbad and the "Eye of the Tiger" was very Conan-like. | |

| Jim Keegan, who mentioned REH to HARRYHAUSEN, is the guy who draws the superb comic strip "Tales of 2 Gun Bob". ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Sketchbookoj9](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img520/4662/sketchbookoj9.jpg) | |

| Matthew's was in "The 7th Voyage of Sinbad", , not the "Golden Voyage".
Matthews was also in "Jack the Giant Killer" which CONAN THE DESTROYER seemed to have been partially influenced on. I spoke to MightymcT about that one some time ago in fact. | |

| Ups, yeah, my mistake. I think I got confused because the guy in "www.rehupa.com" said that HARRYHAUSEN was going to make the picture in the 50's, but the offical Haryhausen page said it was in the 70's.
I wonder if the "www.rehupa.com" info about Matthews is correct, or just a guess. | |

| I couldnt say for sure, but my guess is that it may be fan casting, Matthews was a B-movie actor too back then. So if he was cosidered for CONAN, it had to be mid to late 50's early 60's tops.
David "Vader" Prowse was considered for the role in a CONAN during the 70's, think possibly for Harryhausen's monster fest version, but not sure. | |

| Speaking of "what if...?" and big guys, I recently stumbled across this Richard Kiel interview from some old (1979) UK movie mag called " Starburst", where he is asked whether he was approached for Conan or Thongor, but his answer is quite elusive... http://www.golobthehumanoid.com/mag11.html (I guess that's a No, though) | |

| Funny, so. Darth Vader was... a CONAN with THULSA-DOOM's voice. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Daveprowsechampionszc2](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img208/6578/daveprowsechampionszc2.jpg) This David Prowse weight-lifting version of Conan has more sense as the possible real choice of the time, much more than the unmuscled Mathews "romantic pulp" one (like this, from the 1930s , one of the first pictures of Conan ever): ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Weirdtalesqotbcib0](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img369/4291/weirdtalesqotbcib0.jpg) As the popularity of Conan grow up when the LANCER books edited the FRAZETTA covers. This seminal one appeared in 1966. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Lancersconanadventurerffq9](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img208/1276/lancersconanadventurerffq9.jpg) After this painting, Conan is always depicted with Big muscles and long hair. So, why would Harryhausen choose a romantic 1930's pulp version instead, when the character now was widely known by the Frazetta version? But Conan had been pictured with big muscles and long hair BEFORE that seminal cover of Frazetta... though not black straight hair. But the body now is closer to the typical germanic image of a comicbook athletic superhero, SUPERMAN-like. So, now the character begins being related to a body-builder actor. 1950's- Book covers. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Erererwm8](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img174/1562/erererwm8.jpg) ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Barbarianme9](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img369/3709/barbarianme9.jpg) 1959- This came from a Mexican comic book called "La Reina de la Costa Negra", first Conan comic ever. Here, Conan had body-builder muscles BUT WAS BLONDE. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Zzzac0](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img524/3750/zzzac0.jpg) Also, I guess the image of Tarzan influenced the changing depiction of Conan -(weight-lifting Mr. Universe body and long straight hair). 1918-1920's- Elmo Lincoln, the first Tarzan ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Elmolincolnii7](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img254/857/elmolincolnii7.jpg) 1930's- Hal Foster ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Halfostertarzannz5](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img254/9977/halfostertarzannz5.gif) 1930's- Weissmuller ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Tarzan2xx6](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img522/8313/tarzan2xx6.jpg) 1930's- Herman Brix ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie 00tarzanlw8](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img254/3538/00tarzanlw8.jpg) 1950's- Gordon Scott ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie 50smj8](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img522/6509/50smj8.png) 1964- ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Charltonjungle11964wy9](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img205/2940/charltonjungle11964wy9.jpg)

| Well, what we know is the actor chosen for SINBAD in the "Golden Voyage" was John Phillip Law. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Goldenvoyage4xq4](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img204/2420/goldenvoyage4xq4.jpg) Would he have also been a possible choice for the Conan movie? Much better for the role than Mathews, I think. I can even imagine a bearded Conan with pleasure. ![Ray Harryhausen's CONAN movie Sinbadthegoldenvoyagecdnc5](https://2img.net/r/ihimizer/img204/5694/sinbadthegoldenvoyagecdnc5.jpg) | |

| CONAN shouldve always been well muscled and extremely rugged looking. I like the Frazetta painting best. | |
