Conan


The character created by Robert E. Howard has been mishandled in an otherwise great movie starring Arnold and in the most recent POS.

I think what they need to do is more of what they almost did- adapt one of the stories as a direct to video animated movie. That movie, Red Nails, was stalled due to funds. And Ron Perlman was set to voice Conan. But I think Jason Isaacs would be better. And here's a quote that I think he would kill delivering:

"[The] chief [of the gods of Cimmeria] is Crom. He dwells on a great mountain. What use to call on him? Little he cares if men live or die. Better to be silent than to call his attention to you; he will send you dooms, not fortune! He is grim and loveless, but at birth he breathes power to strive and slay into a man's soul. What else shall men ask of the gods? ..."

Honestly, I think if Isaacs were younger and you gave him six months to hit the gym like a maniac and some clever camera angles to make him look taller, he'd actually be good as the character in the flesh, as well.

He would be perfect.

Ice to see you!
