>They just hired a fantastic writer/director who did Tom Cruise’s last four movies. They just hired him to write and direct “King Conan.” Now, what they do is that they write the part. They don’t write them like i’m forty years old, you write it to be age-appropriate. I’ll still go in there and kick some ass but it will be different.http://www.thearnoldfans.com/news/2026/3/8/arnold-offered-next-predator-film-king-conan-and-commando-2.html
>>218422501SCREW YOUR FREEDOM!
>>218422501just give me 5 minutes of the king conan from the ending of the original conan film, and I don't care if the rest of the movie is about interracial gay couples killing trump lookalikes
Is including Arnold Schwarzenegger in their film going to motivate you to leave your home, drive to a local movieplex and pay ticket prices to sit in a 3rd-party theater?If they need Arnie, can't they just DeepFake him?Visual film media is a dead industry. Neither producers or consumers are willing to invest anything, anymore.

>>218422501 Age-appropriate Conan just means 2 hours of him sitting on the throne looking tired while some zoomer barbarian does the actual fighting.That said, if McQ is actually doing it we might finally get a sword movie that doesn’t look like a Netflix fantasy pilot. The ending of the first Conan with old king brooding on the throne is still kino as fuck. Just give us that tone. Slow, grim, operatic. Basil Poledouris-tier score or don’t even bother.>write it to be age-appropriate Good. I don’t need 80 year old Arnold doing Marvel quips while doing wire-fu. Give me old, scarred, half-broken King Conan who’s buried everyone he ever loved and is too stubborn to die. That’s metal.If they turn it into meta comedy nostalgia bait though I’m out. Let the man glare at the horizon and contemplate the riddle of steel one last time.
>>218422501Let me guess, it's about handing over the reigns to a girl boss Mary Sue.
>>218423227Or a young black warrior.
>>218422501No offense to the guy but no thanks. Know when it's time to step back.
>>218422501Arnold was cool 40 years ago. But he is too old now and should simply retire for good
>>218423686But an old man Conan movie is what he should be doing now that he's old.
>>218423725There's old and geriatric level old. This is the latter. Again no thanks.
>>218422501I doubt Arnold can portray King Conan very well, perhaps the look and behavior but not the intelligence and existentialism, that he experiences.normally Conan would slash problems with his sword but ruling a kingdom and dealing with corruption within, is not easy.
>>218423227They'll bring back the queenie from Destroyer.
>>218422575your wish is granted.>5 minutes of AI gloop based on that shot just before the end credits stretched out with crappy flash animation where his limbs rotate like windmills>3 hours of gay niggers from outerspace and his daughter and subutai's daughter showing that it was really them time travelling that beat thusla doom in the first place, and secretly making conan win all his gladiator bouts, completely destroying the first film - aka Bill and Ted 3
>>218422523>>218423989>anon still seething 6 years later
>>218422501>They just hired a fantastic writer/directorLies. They're all either blacklisted, retired, or dead. All the talent the industry once had? They're all fuckin gone. At every level of movie and tv development, they're fuckin gone. And anyone who is new and talented, and are not lunatics, as a rule, they are not hired. There's NOTHIN FUCKIN LEFT. It is certain this is going to fuckin suck. Absolute slop guaranteed. Arnold will call anyone who criticizes it, a racist woman-hater. Same ole shit. The zombified entertainment industry needs to die.
Cast his jacked half Mexican son as Prince Conan.
>>218423227what if she's muscled and has big tits though
>>218424011If someone spits on you do you just forget about it after some time?
>>218422501Get Joseph to play Conan's son in picrel
>>218422501if they do this right, it could be the kinossance the world needs right nowfuck i'm gonna watch the original right now then probably go fuck around in the garage and backyard breaking shitfuck yeah
I have concerns.
>>218422501>Fuck your freedomFuck your movie.
>80 year old former body builderhow many years do they think he still has to live
Conan the Barbarian is strongly about freedom vs. control.Key ideas:Conan (Conan the Barbarian) starts as a slave and fights his way to freedom.The villain Thulsa Doom represents mind control, cult power, and submission.Conan represents individual will and physical freedom.The film’s theme (especially in the version directed by John Milius) contrasts:Strength / self-determinationvsMass obedience and ideological controlSo while it’s a sword-and-sorcery adventure, underneath it’s also about a man reclaiming freedom from slavery and rejecting authoritarian power.
>>218422501Michael Mann is 83 about to do his stupid Heat sequel. You literally have to kick selfish atheist boomers down the stairs and kill them, because they will never retire. Their families and "friends" all pretend not to hate them just to get their money, there is no love in their life. Only chasing their past success until they drop dead in the process.
>>218424017based pattern recognizer
>>218424432They left a long enough gap for someone to take over. It's not like their holding onto the reigns. It's that you young turds have no talent, no story, no nothing. And a body like milk.
This is one of those ideas that would've been cool like 20 years ago but now it's just sad and stupid. Just get a new actor for fuck's sake
>>218424478>pretends decades of DEI and systematic exclusion of white males didn't happenyeah sweaty, we're just not good enough to compete in the meritocracy of the gynocentric HR department that boomers put in charge
>>218424608>Everyone I don't agree with is a boomer
>>218424607>Just get a new actor for fuck's sakeThey did, 15 years ago
>>218424121If he spits spaghetti, never forghetti.
>>218424711That Momo guy? Thanks for the reminder.
theyve been talking about 3rd arnold conan for at least over decade by now
>>218423725The concept of an old King Conan movie is about a Conan in his 60s not fucking 80s. Arnold is an enfeebled geriatric who can barely walk.
>>218422501>They just hired a fantastic writer/directorThey know he's still alive, right?
>>218425970>milius not involved>poledouris dead>arnold too oldIt will be shit
>>218423186Nails it. I hope this comes true.
They will either cover up Arnie's emaciated old form with big furs and clothes/armor or they will do the weird disturbing CGI de-aging shit. Either way it's gonna be grim.
>>218423186you sounds like a female version of grok
>>218424265enough
>>218424432>kill good directors so there's room for all the trannies and third worlders to run rampant with their propaganda puke!no thanks, I'd rather see a good director's failed rehash than a tranny's psychosis in film
>>21842478530 years or more. it was in production in about 2002/4, with milius, basil and arnie all in agreement. script was done, concept was set, title king conan was on imdb.the roots go back even further
>>218425970idk, I wanna interpret this as McQuarrie doing a rewrite on Milius' old script to fit with Arnold's age>Now, what they do is that they write the part. They don’t write them like i’m forty years old, you write it to be age-appropriate. I’ll still go in there and kick some ass but it will be different.
>>218425970think he had a stroke. film should have happened 20 years ago, it could have been a piece of magic
Last time I remember hearing about this was in 2012 or so. It was called The Legend of Conan. It sounded like they were actually going to make it but it just quietly went away. Wonder what happened thereAnyway it's way too late to do this now with Arnold. I have zero interest in a nostalgiawank legacy sequel with a geriatric Conan
