Moviehole. Exclusive : Conan Characters!
We got our frighteningly-dry hands on the casting breakdowns for uncle Avi's "Conan" reboot today. Thought you Gaspari Nutrition SizeOn guzzlers - and film fans - might like a gander. (Interesting to note that the producers aren't necessarily looking for a 'name' for the lead, either). ...

    It was said that "This movie promises to be a complete revamp that stays closer to the original source material by Robert E. Howard", but the fact of the matter is that it is no where near what Robert E. Howard had written. The writers have no idea of who or what Conan is. The same can be said about their knowledge of Robert E. Howard.

    From what can be read so far about the cast call, this movie will not go to theatres or dvd but straight to SyFy.

    Conan get's to watch his father die. Again. This time it's from torture. Blah. Sack the hell out of Venarium and burn it to the ground!!! That's how Conan's father should die if HE MUST BE INCLUDED. That's how a Cimmerian should see his father go, dying in the bright madness of battle and not in some lame ass torture that is just completely lame. How do I know that it's lame? Because it's lame. Howard himself did not give a tale dedicated to Conan's origin, L. Sprague de Camp stayed away from it, so now let's hire D/O to fix all that. Sheesh.

    Are they really going to cut out baby Conan and hand him to his dying mother? Blind archers? Being the last of his tribe, watch the father die a cruel death blah blah blah. Was cut from his mother's womb by Conan's father so that she (mother) could see him before she died? Ok. Where is Khor Khala City? Thoth-Amon again? Tamara is not in the least intimidated by Conan's size or grim demeanor....not even just a little??

    Ok, so this is the Riddle of Steel part two. Or rebooted. Resheathed. Whatever. Four Picts cross the path of Conan and he unleashes a savagery that goes to far for a warrior? What is he supposed to do, scream and tell them that his dad can kick their dads' asses? C'mon man! Instead of his name being mentioned at the council fires this is going to cause his name to be whispered around the fires that pyscho boy Conan is unfit and should be cast out........will stop there incase thats makes it into the script somehow. 10 year old Conan takes on four Picts and lives? Give that boy a flagon of wine and two women!

    This is NOT Conan folks, this is BeastMaster Part 6
