He also did Conan The Road of Kings which is also a really good fancy* novel .

Did your copy have frills and come with a doily?

*Predictive text is such a stinker, init?

And I can't correct that spelling error. Oh well.

Leave it. It will give future historians something to ponder.

That book by Wagner is my idea about what the next Conan film should about .

 

[Vince W]

It would make for a good film, but I would have to have an 18+ rating. Any less and we run into Destroyer territory.

No we don't want a repeat of the Conan the Destroyer but I do like the film much better than the 2011 film.

 

[Vince W]

If they had stripped off the Conan chrome in 2011 and just made a generic S&S film instead it would have worked much better I think. It also wouldn't have been compared to Arnold's film.

In 1983 , they might have been better off to have done Conan The Hour of the Dragon instead. And I hate the way thye portrayed Toth Amon in Destroyer , Completely and utterly wrong.

 

[Vince W]

Yes. What we need is a straight up adaptation of Conan's stories not watered down or altered by studios/producers/directors. I vote for Queen of the Black Coast first.

They'd have to add to this story to get to two hours.

No problem. Have a load of scenes at sea. Everyone loves a bit of piracy.

If there was only way for her to survive.

That would be the one alteration I would allow. Howard was wrong to kill Belit.

Let her and Conan have a few grand adventure together. It would do good box office.

 

[BAYLOR]

If they were going to a Conan film. Who could play him?

Belit wail be fairly difficult to to cast. Though Gal Godet could probably pull it off.

 

[Vince W]

I would look for unknowns. For Belit I would look in the mid-east. Conan would be harder.

Dwayne Johnson would be an interesting choice for Conan. He could pull it off. He's got presence charisma and pretty good acting chops

 

[Vince W]

A bit old now. Someone younger is needed to have a chance at creating a franchise which is the only thing Hollywood wants anymore.
