    They can get any director they want it’s which actor they get to play Conan that will make the difference. Arnold was the only good fit for the role.

    Asa lifelong Robert E. Howard fan (and longtime fan of the original “Conan” movie), this news makes me want to crush my enemies, see them driven before me, and to hear the lamentation of their women. But the inclusion of the “Sahara” script in the screenwriters’ resumes is a big red flag; talk about totally butchering the source material … still, I’ll keep my fingers crossed, and hope there’s another good Austrian bodybuilder out there capable of filling the Austrian Oak’s venerable boots.

    Why do we need a “Conan” remake?
