rumours suggest his specially adapted wheelchair will have hidden daggers and a 'crom' motif, although his sword has been downsized to account for arnies decreased strength*

*this may not be 100% accurate.

Conan the Sexaganarian.

Have you seen him lately? Still got it.

I wonder if he'll play the king who hires the new Conan?

J.T · 27 May 2015 at 11:53

Awesome!!!

ADT · 27 May 2015 at 11:54

Not sure I want to watch Arnold any more. He needs to relax

Newbie007 · 28 May 2015 at 12:21

Will be awesome

I'd like to watch a documentary called The Governator about his daily activities running California.

Like the speech where he, an immigrant, tells California that immigrants aren't taking all the jobs?

This has the potential to be amazing, or totally dreadful.....sadly I think I already know which it will be.

Hoping for a decent Conan film, although that is probably unlikely. As long as it's better than the terrible recent Conan film, then that at least will be something.

Is he in dire need of money or something? He's 67, worth a few hundred million yet seems to want to get made up to appear vaguely younger for sequels to movies he worked on decades ago. :confused:

FrenchTart · 30 May 2015 at 08:13

Maybe he just enjoys starring in films? And being paid money to do so. I don't see how that seems so crazy/confusing.

Most of which he appears too old for, a lot of these movies as of late ideally should have been done maybe 15 years ago where it would still be plausible. Half the movies he appears in these days even though he's made up to look younger he still looks too old for the part he plays.

Suppose this could be different if he's playing an age he represents.

A proper sequel to Predator would make chronological sense. Thirty years later, a certain trophy finds himself hunted through the streets...

Directors in the 80s had the freedom of an (18) rating. Now they're restricted towards a younger, profitable audience and films just don't reach their potential.

A Conan sequel that will probably be rated (12)? What's the point.

Agree

Ah I remember crushing my enemies <sip>, seeing them driven before me <rustles in the bag for a pork scratching>, and I tell you - hearing the lamentations of those women...

last conan the barbarian movie sucked baddddd ... my wife never sees 'my movies' but convinced her to see that one and I felt embarrassed

Its possible he is playing King Conan in the film and therefor looking older would be appropriate. I would imagine going by current trends, the main character will be a spunky young female fighter who is rebellious and impulsive but ends up being taught the way of Conan by Arnie
