HOLLYWOOD. A Swedish company based in Hollywood kicks lives in "Conan" again.

On 21 February next year prefer the recording started.

The project goes off at least half a billion SEK.

"There are a lot of money. But we hope to make this into a profitable franchise. The goal is to make three films, "said Fredrik Malmberg, President of the company Paradox which is behind the effort.

After three weeks have been going on record preparation. But the role of Conan is not set up yet.

No bodybuilder
"We have one guy at once. More I can not reveal right now," said Malmberg when he meets Amusement blade in Beverly Hills.

Is he famous?

"There is no superstar. In Sweden, I doubt that the vast majority know him. This man certainly knows who he is."

What have you been for the criteria?

"We have not sought any bodybuilder. But even if the story is quite different from the original, it is still a revenge story. There must be someone who can play the barbarian."

Recorded in Bulgaria
To get to a remake of the film as the beginning of the 1980s did Arnold Schwarzenegger to the action star has been under Malmberg been harder than expected. Paradox back in 2002 bought all rights to Conan. When it looked as if Warner would make the film together with the Swedish company. But when nothing happened in 2007 broke Malmberg cooperation and went to Lions Gate. After that he waited six months to director Brett Ratner would accept.

"But we could never get a final word."

Now the job has gone to Marcus Nispel ( "Friday the 13th", "The Texas Chainsaw Massacre").

In the twelve weeks, the movie filmed in Bulgaria.

"The premiere is planned for summer 2011," said Malmberg.

Cool thanks again. Whom do you suspect their referring to? obvious they've got some asshole in mind.

This project sadly never sounded good nor appealing after Arnold went into politics & Milius' treatment was deep-sixed altogether. Guess now its just watching what we're given...

But they don't say they want a skinny guy, right? They just say he will be no bodybuilder, that doesn't mean necessarily skinny.

I just hope they don't hire a good looking pretty boy with athletic proportions -muslced but not that much, as chicks love'em- and so. Now THAT would be donkey shit.

And then, these guys are proclaming it's actually a REMAKE of the Milius' film... "But even if the story is quite different from the original, it is still a revenge story.". Good for them, least these guys are sincere and doesn't take us for retards.

That's right, but when i think Conan ithink big muscle, not a aerobic guy

At most it'll probably be like a 300 physique. So a Barry Windsor-Smith CONAN?

I much prefer a Frazettian CONAN myself.

Well, when you read the script, you don't think that anymore...

But it's not a new script, isn't it? Is that thing with werewolves that we actually knew about, right? That Donelly/Oppenheimer one...

Thing is the previous people, they said the script was absolutely faithful to Howard, much more than "that bad Milius movie which was NOT faithful at all (and spits on the floor)".

That was what I meant, that people were totally ripping Milius off and then claiming they were Howardian, on the other hand this new Swedish guys say it's actually a Remake of Milius', and closer to Milius than to Howard. I think that is sincere and not a disgusting publicity lie.

In any case I don't spect this movie to be ANY good, only that I like not to be insulted by the authors, that's all

Er... hi... I just wanted to share a damn good joke with you: some rumors say the actor who would play Conan will be a dude called JARED PADALECKI:

Could be worse. Pray for Padalecki getting ill or something.

But yeah, it's not going to be good. It's going to be a movie with the quality of PATHFINDER or something like that.

I imagine the thing will be similar to what "Alien vs Predator" was. That is, an extremely bad movie that you can actually enjoy if you are very drunk and you don't give a damn about anything at all.

Sounds great, I know.



The description of the characters... such an amount of crap... What is this, a D&D cast of characters? Everyone of them are characters designed for a video game.

MUTHAFOOKAH: African American, likes hiphop, he has a great hability on kicking asses with a very special supah coolah flying kick. He can use swords too, and the way he moves them is supah coolah too.

FACKRARL: Caucassian or whatever, we don't really care as much as she has great boobs and knows some martial arts bullshit wich we can use for slow-motion and 3D Matrix copy style, where her boobs and also ass will be openly show while getting dirty with fake digital blood.

KOONAHN: soooo Caucassian. He is a psycho killer but cute. Girls will love him and men will turn gay for him. He is a psycho. But cute. He has suffered a lot in life, but when he kill'em all everything will be fine. He's fucked up, but it's so damn cute.



Filmmakers: kill yourselves.

No, seriously.

No joke.

John Milius in a 2008 interview:

"Hollywood is coming unraveled; it's a sinking ship. First of all, I think the real system of Hollywood where they actually made the movies and stuff like that died a long time ago. I think that you see it in the product. The stuff is not very good. Everybody can sit there and talk about how it still makes money, and that's debatable as to how much it really does make. And the studio system should die. And it will die because there's too many interesting other things that are coming about now. And Francis Coppola always said once these things, these cameras will get cheaper...I mean he predicted all of this a long time ago."

Your cracking up Turd, falling apart at the seams mate.

There is some movie I saw in a Walmart,
