UPDATE! IGN just slapped up the new red-band trailer on their site; it’s been embedded below.
We’ve been pretty on the fence regarding Marcus Nispel’s upcoming CONAN THE BARBARIAN 3D. The previews have been consistently so-so, but perhaps our desire to like the film keeps us with our fingers crossed. Things might be looking up, however, as a new TV spot has emerged and it’s easily the best case for the movie yet. It’s a minute long and just gels better than the others have – although I still hate that they feel the need to use heavy metal music…
The film, which opens on AUGUST 19th, stars Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang, Rose McGowan, Saïd Taghmaoui and Ron Perlman.
The plot: A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.
