First Conan Set Photos
Below we have the first eight set photos from upcoming remake of Conan which is currently filming in Bistriza, Bulgaria.
The film is based on author Robert E. Howard’s Conan the Barbarian character, which he created in 1932. The character has since been adapted into multiple mediums, from previous films, TV series, comic books, and cartoons.
IMDB plot: The tale of Conan the Cimmerian and his adventures across the continent of Hyboria on a quest to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village.
Conan in 3-D, Shad Gaspard for Ukafa!
IESB recently reported that Marcus Nispel‘s upcoming Conan will be going 3D. Lionsgate has sent out offers to a bunch of special effects companies that would be willing to tackle this job. But it’s unclear whether they want it shot in 3D or convert it later on like WB did Clash Of The Titans remake.
Conan, based on the pulp series by writer Robert E. Howard, will begin filming next month in Bulgaria, with Jason Momoa (Stargate Atlantis) stepping in as the sword-swinging barbarian. Mickey Rourke is also rumored to be joining the cast.
Jason Momoa Cast as Conan the Barbarian. Mickey Rourke To Play His Father?
Jason Momoa has been tapped to star in the reboot of “Conan,” the rebirth of the Robert E. Howard-created series. He is a television star who most notable works are “Baywatch: Hawaii” and “Stargate Atlantis.”
Momoa, held off competition from Twilight’s Kellan Lutz and Jared Padalecki for the coveted warrior role. Sources said that director Marcus Nispel (Friday The 13th.) was sold on Momoa, and won over the filmmakers by shooting a few trial scenes that allowed Momoa to wield a sword and behave very Schwarzenegger-like.
Additionally, we hear that Lionsgate have “extended an offer” to Mickey Rourke to play Conan’s father, Codril. No confirmation either way yet, but interesting nonetheless.
