Conan script is ready!
While it is an exciting time for Arnold fans with
Terminator Genisys on the rise, let’s not forget that Schwarzenegger’s next film project is “what is best in life”! As if we weren’t already pumped enough for
The Legend of Conan, we have new word from Chris Morgan and Fredrik Malmberg, the film's producers, telling us the greatest Schwarzenegger cinematic experience is yet to come!
While these gentlemen are fans of Robert E. Howard’s Conan tales, the goal here for
The Legend of Conan is to revisit the barbaric world of John Milius. This will not be a reboot nor will it be given a tame film rating, unbefitting of a bitter, barbaric king.
The Legend of Conan will in fact be a sequel to
Conan the Barbarian, giving us Arnold’s character 30 years later: aged, pissed and battle ready.
Can you tell us a little about the tone of this film? Some of your projects (
Fast and the Furious films) have been very entertaining, action-heavy, popcorn films. Do you feel there is room for a light-hearted
Conan, or is the goal here a tone to be more gritty, dark and Oscar-worthy, like
Gladiator?
Chris Morgan:
A light-hearted Conan?! CROM! No. Our tone is a logical extension of the character established in the ’82 film…but 30 years later. When we meet him again, Conan has been many things over the course of his life — a thief, a warrior, a pirate, a king, a legend — and is now an older man. Think
Unforgiven…with a sword-wielding barbarian.
