Saying that you are going to cut the budget and rush the movie out to try to get a big opening weekend is not a sound strategy. (doing that is ok, but admitting to it isn't)3. This is a cult classic movie, you need to cater to your fan base, if it is good they will see it over and over again. If it is bad....well see point 4 below.4. The last thing you want is for your movie to turn out like Highlander 2 or Batman and Robin, it will kill the property.5. Not having Arnold is a huge blow, you need to do something positive to gather interest in this property, saying you are going to do a cheaper movie isn't a positive. I personally don't care if Arnold is in it or not, there are actors that can do the role, but the public likes to see the same actors in the same roles.6. Kinder and gentler are not terms to describe a Barbarian, I never saw the Scorpion King but I did see interviews with the Rock where he talked about what a bad kick butt fighter his character was. It is a action movie after all, people want action in their action movies. 7. The most important thing to remember is that most of your fan base wants to see a movie that relates to the first Conan movie and pretends the second movie was a bad dream. The First Conan movie is what you shoud strive for not the second.Ok so that didn't turn out as positive as I hoped but I'm sure I am not alone in my thoughts on this. The first Conan movie was a masterpiece, the reason there is interest by the public in a third movie is the hope of one like the first the second movie killed the property for years.</blockquote>
