Will this film ever happen?

I'm not going to make a joke about there being a soon-to-be-free Conan. That would make me a terrible person.

You know, I hear Conan O'Brian may need a job soon...

once again conan talks sence , classic clip.  Finding someone to replace arnie is a tough job

Get Brock Lesnar for Conan. 
You see that guy and think he belongs back in time riding the biggest horse swinging the biggest mace 

Hollywood has a shortage of men over 6 feet.

They have to choose Kellan Lutz!
He's perfect for the role!
 

its not  often me and you disagree angel , but he just doesnt look mean enough. Conan should look like he could rip your arms and beat you to death with um lol

" Conan the Barbarian was ok. Conan the Destroyer was great.   "

 Dam Babs..... You were a little rough on one of my all time favorite movies there, but since you thought it was so humorous, you might get a kick out of this alternate version of the scene you posted.... (^_^) 
 
 

I goddamn love the original Conan movie (hell, I love all things Conan) and I love the clip you posted Babs. An absolute classic moment. I've quoted it a few times in joking, it's great.
 
Anyways, no matter who they choose, he damn well better be right for the role. I don't want any Topher Grace/Eddie Brock type of miscasts here, alright? Arnold's can act but his acting wasn't exactly steller in the original but it fit and it worked. You don't need someone monumentally good for Conan. Just someone who fits.
 
Make it work, Lionsgate. Make it big, epic, personal, and action-packed and mysterious, like a good Conan movie should be. This shouldn't be very hard. Get good SFX, do Conan's origins, and then adapt one of the big Conan stories of your choosing. Boom, good Conan movie, done.

I watched Stargate: Atlantis. I think Jason Momoa could play the role. He played a pretty tough and rough character, but he was a lot smarter then people gave him credit for. He's a pretty well built guy. Just not sure if he's 'Conan' big. Normally, the kind of guys who get that huge are pro wrestlers. There is Dwayne Johnson (The Rock). I thought he was good in The Rundown. He was absolutely hilarious in Be Cool. The Scorpion King was.........alright. More recently he' has seemed to isolate himself to family/kids movies.
 
From what I know of the actual Conan character. He was a Barbarian who hated magic. Which why it was odd when they made that Conan game they had him using magic, but that game was trying desperately to be a God of War clone.
 
To speak to your point about not having your lead so close to filming, Babs. Viggo Mortensen was not the first actor selected to play the role of Aragon in the Lord of the Rings trilogy. The original actor left the project and Viggo was brought in very close to the time filming was set. It was his son who convinced him to take the role. He quickly needed to be trained in sword combat and horse riding.
Though, the Conan story hardly compares to the complexity of Tolkien's work. Really, how often do they ever make these sort of brainless violence movies? The God of War games are pretty much the peak of the hack and slash, but the stories still have a level of complexity and depth behind them.

   
Triple H is Conan 
   

glad theyre taking there time really. better than rushing it out half-assed like.

A(or former) Wrestler should play as Conan... i say Rocky... Rocky... Rocky... The Lllllll LAOU Pie Eating... Jabroni Beating... Trail Blazing... Eye Brown Raising...  Simply Amazing... Most Electrifying Man In SPorts Entertainment... Dwayne Johnson... or Triple H... Goldberg... etc...

i dont have faith in a remake, of conan. it would be to toned down so more people could see it, cause thats all that matters nowadays making money. as much as i would love to see a movie with a buff long haired dude with a sword covered in blood surrounded by naked women with dead guys all over the place, i doubt it will be good......wow i sound delightful in that sentence. they should remake highlander even though it still rocks today

Dude those are fighting words. Conan is a classic film was some great subtext.  Destroyer is just made by committee junk.  " 
 
The First was cool because it showed how he came to be but I just love the combo of Arnold and Wilt in the sequel.

Who could replace Arnold, maybe nobody but hey I think Lesnar could do it he's big enough for the role.

No one can play Conan right, I didn't like Arnie that much compared to the stories
