How does it get worse than this?

What's next? Matthew McConaughey stars as Dr. Martin Luther King Junior?

Reese Witherspoon stars as Pancho Villa?

They're not even trying to get close to the character.

[Slogo]

he kinda looks like Bob Marley

[Gaf The Horse With Tears]

OMG.. what a horrible pick.

[phee]

I am kind of glad that work has that site blocked.....

[Rev.Reverence]

He is certainly better than the other two (remember now, Arnie was Conan.)

Just 'cause you're all a bunch of bal'eads, & don't wanna' see no 'locks get ahead in this world...

..WE COMMIN' UP, ANYHOW!...The Almighty has deigned it!

..a curiosity...who would you pick to redo Conan?

That's just wrong. Almost as wrong as Keanu Reeves playing Spike in the upcoming Cowboy Bebop live action.

[Rev.Reverence]

...who would you pick instead Pomba~?

[Mean Salley]

..a curiosity...who would you pick to redo Conan?

A man.

[Rev.Reverence]

A man.

He looks like a man...ever seen him act?

[freydis]

Actually, Jason Momoa isnt a bad actor, and he can do physical roles pretty well. I think he did alright on Stargate: Atlantis...

[Rev.Reverence]

...Junior is with Sally...he said, 'none of them[are buff enough]'

Couple months of steroid therapy would fix that right up!

[Simon Bar Sinister]

what - there isn't some WWE roidtard out there that can read a script?

[pomba gira]

...who would you pick instead Pomba~?

Hard 'cos, you know, I don't watch movies... so I don't know a lot of the younger actors... but I'll give it a try...

For Conan? Um, maybe used-to-be-The Rock. With dreadlocks. Conan needs to be comic-bookish and larger than life, not some weaselly little sparkleboy.

For Spike? Someone who can actually register emotions once in a while.

They should had Hue Jackman do it... Prob be better fit>.>

[Simon Bar Sinister]

he's like 5'6", isn't he?

[Rev.Reverence]

6'2&1/2

...too old...

[Simon Bar Sinister]

Wolverine's 6' 2-1/2"?

[Stymie]

he isn't the tallest dude. But neither is most of them and with movie magic it isn't a big deal. Just lots better then that Mc'DB That they have...

[Rev.Reverence]

Wolverine's 6' 2-1/2"?

They shot him in perspective...

[Slogo]

They shot him in perspective...

I heard they were even considering Glenn Danzig for Wolvie at one point.

[Simon Bar Sinister]

here's some fucking blasphemy - the girl from Twilight playing Joan Jett!

[StormKnight (1)]

"Hither came Conan, the Cimmerian, black-haired, sullen-eyed, sword in hand, a thief, a reaver, a slayer, with gigantic melancholies and gigantic mirth, to tread the jeweled thrones of the Earth under his sandalled feet."

— Robert E. Howard, The Phoenix on the Sword, 1932.

I am with Mean Salley on this one.

Sorry, if I am to see someone play our favorite Cimmerian (who is supposedly of Scottish origin,) he should look a bit like the part.

So in the name of this blasphemy, it is time to break out the Inquisition to root out the evil, because:

And after reading some of Howard's original work with Conan, I believe this choice in actors has set off my BS meter:

As for who should play Conan, I would want to have better auditions, preferably someone who has actually read Howard's original work.

[~Tszura~]

Well, my inner little barbarian grew up watching and loving Arnolds depiction of Conan, so I don't think anyone else is going to do it for me. I can't even think of a suitable suggestion as to who it should be, but as far as the current choice.....there's a tiny Valeria inside me saying, "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"

[the eternal]

There is no Conan like Roger Callard. All others are imitators.

Never before in the history of motion pictures has there been a screen presence so commanding, so powerful, SO DEADLY!

I owe learning the dewey decimal system to him.

[candyman]

Wow...I am so glad that I am too poor to see these movies and too poor to buy the cable package that would show their other work...

At least they didn't listen to the people that are always promoting John Cena for manly roles...why do they keep using the stupid WWE people for movie roles?

My pick would be John Candy...bring him back and put him in as little clothing as possible with a big sword...people will watch that shit!
