The Shrine

(Jason Momoa)



Fairly close, not rough enough, but certainly looks more like Conan than Schwarzenegger, and a better face for Conan for the film than someone who looked identical to the art.

From what I understand, this version of Conan the Barbarian is far more faithful to Robert E Howard's creation than the 80's movie was (this is not a remake, just a separate adaptation/reboot).

If I had one wish, it would be for remakes of Basil Poledouris's themes in the 1982 movie, which did SO much more for the film than likely any script could have ever achieved.

The film has a massive 100 million dollar budget, and while that doesn't guarantee a great film, it means that it will have a certain level of production going towards it.

Interesting. That's the guy playing Khal Drogo in A Game of Thrones, too. He's certainly getting a lot of shirtless work now. haha

I thought for 1 second they were going to make a movie of Conan...the late night talk show host.
