This is really the most I've heard about this project so far. I suppose the animated movie is dead in the water; I haven't heard anything about Red Nails ever being released.

The word on the street is that Conan will be restarted, closer to the REH original, as opposed to John Milius' and Ahnold's version.

Cool. The only question is then how monstrous will Conan's opposition be. REH and HPL did share a fair bit and it would be awsome for some of the nastier critters Conan has encountered to be in this movie.

I'm a huge Conan fan. The poster looks great, looking forward to the movie.

That would be fantastic!

I truly hated Ahnold's stupid oafish version, which I couldn't recognise as the *character* of Conan from any of the books.

fingers crossed!

While technically they shared the same universe, did Conan ever fight anything really supernatural or even creepy? Basically a naga is about as spooky as it got. (God in the Bowl). The only time he met a really Lovecraftian style thingie, he was nice to it (Tower of the Elephant).

He killed/incapacitated a creature that could have been the inspiration for both D&D slaadi and hentai tentacle demons in Howard's 'Xuthal of the Dusk.'

Indeed.

And he fought what is pretty much an Iron Golem in the Iron Demon (backtranslating from the Portuguese title).

And the two frost giants in The Daughter of the Frost Giant (once again, backtranslating). And he was 16 back then!

Y'know, I wouldn't mind Josh Holloway dying his hair black and bulking up (even more) to play Conan. He got the intense stare down pat as Sawyer.

As for oafish Conan, I do remember him being captured by city guards after drunkedly slamming his own head on a doorway.

Don't forget the magnetic pillar which gripped peoples armour and they then got dissolved by the ooze creature that climbed down the pillar in "The curse of the monolith" (although I don't remember whether or not that was an REH original)
