Conan 2008?

Insight · Aug 7, 2007

Has anyone heard anything about a proposed Conan the Barbarian movie in 2008? I found this IMDB entry, but not a whole lot else around the Internets.

I think that entry's just wishful thinking.

Yeah, after doing some additional digging, it seems to be a dead project for now. Warner Bros' license window has closed, and the original prodco has taken to shopping the project around, possibly to New Line.

Well, apparently Red Nails is already in post-production. So that's at least something to look forward to.

Yeah, but according to IMDB, Red Nails has been "in post-production" since 2006.

Honestly, much as I'd really love to, I don't expect we'll ever see it.

I just noticed how much voice over work that Ron Pearlman does. I knew he did a lot, but seeing it listed out is...impressive.

Well, the Scorpion King is getting a prequel and Riddick is getting a sequel, so we'll be getting a few conan-flavored movies too.

According to ufcjunkie.com, UFC heavyweight champion Randy "The Natural" Couture (15-8-0) will star in "The Scorpion King: The Akkadian," a major motion picture from Universal Studios.

The film will be a prequel to the 2002 film "The Scorpion King", which featured Dwayne Johnson - better known as "The Rock". Ironically, this film was a prequel to the films "The Mummy" and "The Mummy Returns", which hit theatres in 1999 and 2001 respectively.

"It's my first lead in a feature film," Couture said. "I'm playing the Rock's nemesis, but it's a teenage Rock in this movie. It's a prequel to the others, and I'm the bad warrior king. I leave Oct. 3 for South Africa to begin shooting."

Director David Twohy has said that sequel plans depend in large part on the commercial success of the DVD. Vin Diesel has said that there are two sequels in development; the second film will involve a visit to the Underverse.

Sequels said:
In a March 8, 2006 article on Comingsoon.net, it was reported that Vin Diesel claimed that a sequel to The Chronicles of Riddick was in the works. According to him, he had already written a storyline that covered a trilogy which began with the Chronicles of Riddick. Another article on Comingsoon.net written on March 11, 2005 reports that Vin Diesel states that Chronicles 2 was to deal with The Underverse, while Chronicles 3 was to conclude the series with a return to Furya.
