Have there been any updates on The Legend of Conan, the sequel to the original 1982 Conan the Barbarian? I know you were working on that at one point.
Not so much. That’s kind of a longer story. At the end of the day, the studio decided that they weren’t gonna make that. I gotta say, it’s honestly a heartbreak. I love that first movie so much, so much, it’s one of my favorite movies. We had Will Beall do a draft on [the Legend of Conan script]. He killed it. Our take was Conan, 30 years later, a story like the Clint Eastwood Unforgiven. It was so awesome. Ultimately, the budget was big, the studio was not really sure of the title, and the relevance in the marketplace. They ended up letting it go. I think they’re gonna look to do a TV show or something with it. But just to be associated with it, pitch it to Arnold, have him get so excited, there was a moment of magic for me, personally [laughs]. You never know, down the road we may revisit!

With that potential, why would anyone sell the stock down to pennies? It's laughable {nm} Apr 06, 13:04
The star usually acts as the cheerleader, even when a project is stuck in development hell. {nm} Apr 06, 13:11
Some of those have been short for months, years. There's no reason to flip until there's actually postive movement. {nm} Apr 06, 15:48
Too bad. Sounds like I movie I want to see :( {nm} May 22, 02:01
