Dolph talking Conan | Movie News
Time to start getting your hopes up. Dolph Lundgren is in talks with the CONAN producers (who also happen to be the EXPENDABLES producers) about a possible role in the upcoming film.
No, he’s clearly not going to be the barbarian himself (though time warp twenty years and he’s a shoe-in) and he can't really talk about what he is discussing.
"I've talked to the producers about doing something for 'Conan,'" actor Dolph Lundgren told MTV News while promoting his direct-to-DVD film "Command Performance," which he co-wrote, directed and starred in.
Asked what type of role he'd be looking for, Lundgren cautioned that casting is still going on and whether there is a role for him at all likely wouldn't be decided until 2010. "It's too early," he said, explaining that he didn't expect to know more until "probably next year."
So who could he be? There are relatively few options it would seem, and I’d say the best bets are either Khalar Singh, described as“commanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won,” or perhaps the part of Conan’s father. But knowing Lundgren, I’d have to go with the villain. More on this in…2010?

Extra Tidbit: They're still trying to go with an unknown for Conan. Do people as big as Schwarzenegger even exist anymore?

2. Get a Robert E. Howard expert in the same room with the scriptwriters. Have them read the books and instruct them that the Conan stories will serve as the building blocks for the movie, and nothing else.
3. Use this film as a chance to reinvent the pop cultural idea of Conan.
Look at Casino Royale. Batman Begins....

Look at Casino Royale. Batman Begins. Pirates of the Carribean. All of these films took dead characters, dead franchises, and dead genres and reinvigorated them by not playing it safe. Even fans of Conan the Barbarian don’t want a rehash of that. We are twenty years older now, and we need something more sophisticated. Bryan Singer learned that the hard way with Superman Returns. This can NOT be a nostalgia project.
