After the first teaser poster for upcoming Lionsgate’s barbarian epic “Conan,” we’ve got today new one.
Dirk Blackman and Howard McCain (Outlander) have been hired to redraft the script, the updated remake of sorts of 1982’s Conan The Barbarian.
The movie is a potential resurrection of the classic warrior created by Robert E. Howard, who has appeared in dozens of pulp stories published in the 1930s. In 1982, Oliver Stone and John Milius wrote a bloody adaptation, which Milius also directed, that starred Arnold Schwarzenegger. [source: ToxicShock]
“Conan The Barbarian” is one of my favorite movies. I’m not sure how they could ever replace Arnold in that role. I really hope this remake is not added to the ever growing list of remake failures.
