Looks like they're making a new Conan movie, and this time it won't have Arnold. It's being shot in Bulgaria and will star Ron Perlman (Hellboy) and Jason Momoa.

Could be interesting.

If Marcus Nispel has proven anything it's that he knows how to **** up a remake, of all things.

Jason Momoa looks like a Klingon.

The thing that made Conan the Barbarian a great movie was the script. I highly doubt someone with the abilities of Oliver Stone or John Milius will be attached to the project.

The music also raised the movie above its pulp pedigree. Basilodouros' finest soundtrack, Conan's music is both highly evocative and powerfully simple.

I hope the movie is at least direct to DVD quality and not some horrendous SyFy money flush.

Yeah, the soundtrack of the original movie was awesome and really helped bring the world of Conan to life in a way that wouldn't have otherwise been possible, regardless of how good the screenplay might have been. It's really a shame that nothing good ever followed that because Howard's work is unique and deserves further attention.
