Rodriguez (Sin City) Developing Conan?

[Warrior Poet]

And Rodriguez would cast Salma Hayek as Dejah Thoris, and that, as far as I'm concerned, is that.

Or Monica Belucci. Either way, I'll take Princess of Mars for $1,000, Alex.

Salma... Monica... too... much... hotness!

Brain... melting... from... mental picture!

Agree... with... Klaus...

Brain... destroyed... but happy smile... permanently on face...

Hey, um, Klaus, if you're, you know, looking for inspiration for a "Very Special Illustration" -- Salma and Monica as Martian princesses would get a BIG THUMBS UP from me.

I would BUY that. Darn straight.

Salma and Monica MAKING OUT in Dejah Thoris costumes. Yeah, I'm right there.

Now... my brain's starting.... to melt. Too much.... pleasure overload.

Or, to quote Jayne Cobb; "I'll be in my bunk."

I'm ALWAYS on the prowl for inspiration like that, IYKWIMAITYD...

E-mail me.

I had no idea who Hugh Jackman was before X-Men (not saying he was unknown, just I didn't know who he was), and now I can't imagine anyone else playing Wolverine. Could be a good break for some actor.

I think this is referred to as "Skywalker Syndrome" -- grab somebody that nobody's seen before and nobody will realize that they can't act for at least a movie or two. Most recently, see Orlando Bloom in... well, pretty much anything he's been in lately.

Back on topic, having only seen parts of the existing Conan movies in passing, what makes people think that (as far as I know -- just treat me like an clueless studio budget guy) a Barbarian-based film is going to sell after Peter Jackson came through creating entire and well-costumed civilizations for the Lord of the Rings set? Even if I didn't care about the story or the dialog, the eye candy was consistently really dang good. As far as I know, Conan is about a guy in a loincloth wielding a sword that's too big for him to put away -- what are we supposed to show to attract the attention of a mass audience?

I heard a rumor awhile back that when they were trying to get a 3rd Arnold Conan movie, called King Conan, that they were going to have Triple H from the WWE play Conan's son.
