Looks like Conan found some good weed since the last movie.
If Sigourney Weaver can beat your ass you should not be A canidate for Conan. That should be told to the casting director. Can this guy beat Sigourney if you pause before you answer just yell next.
For the love of Christ what the fuck happened to HHH being cast as Conan?

I know original will never be done justice in a reboot. It also seems to me that the way that main characters are portrayed physically nowadays is gone compared to the older, classic movies like in Arnolds’ time. The fellow commandos and the enemies were all huge.
To me it made the elements in the big screen more fictitious in some sense (not the mass of the actors), and the antics of the main characters more funny (Let off some steam Bennett!).

The picture of this guy looks photoshopped to the extreme. I bet he doesn’t have anything more than a two pack.

All you guys hoping he’d bulk up, do you really believe someone like that could get to a level to compare to someone like Arnold? They should have been casting for someone as large as, or bigger, than Arnold was.

Yea thats who they are using caveman.
They were going to use this guy from new terminator. Not sure what happened…[/quote]
everybody knows that guy is a terd. destroyers do not have bodies like that. of course, guy #1 is an androgynous poster child so obviously they have envisioned the script as a teen chick flick.
This guy played Ronon Dex in Stargate Atlantis. I bet hollywood could pay for a good trainer to make him fill in.
They also picked him after he shot some scenes. Why don’t we wait and see what happens, after all if it sucks they’ll just do a better version in a year or two later ( ex, the hulk ).
Or lets see some actors who could actually, you know-- act.
And yes I know he’s not the hulking brute we are imagining. Maybe he’s gona wear an Arnold suit. I really hope they don’t blow the movie though.

He needs THICK arms. Why? Cuz youre a fucking barbian, if you cant swing a damn tree trunk, youd get laughed out of BU (barbarian University). You need a THICK chest. Why? What dominant force doesnt have tits? And you need a WIDE back. Why? Cuz your a barbarian. You climb shit, you knock it over. Boulder in the way? break it. Eat it. Eat brick houses. THATS a barbarian. Barbarians dont do Aerobics. The closest thing this guy and Conan have together is their Toenail color. He paints his toenails red, and Conan stomps a bloody mud hole in your ass.

LOL!
They should’ve put you on the casting panel and this is EXACTLY what you should have said to any emo fairy princess that auditioned for the part.
Just for fun you could have ended with something like this…
If you can wear these horse hair underpants and hairy ugg boots and ‘still’ look like you deserve my respect then you got the part
Thought so…

In a medieval battle would you rather have a bunch of faggot soccer players and abercrombie models or pro strongmen and football linemen?

this movie is going to be absolute garbage[/quote]
Sure, in a medieval battle that would be the case. And so I agree.
As a side note, once you get past the early-modern era, being built like a brick-shithouse did nothing for you in battle. An arrow or a bullet would penetrate an extra five inches of muscle just as easily.[/quote]
It saved Sergio Oliva’s life when his ex-wife shot him 5 times.[/quote]
WAIT. wait.
let’s talk about THIS instead

What are you talkin about? Are you even married? If so who are you married to?
A) Doesn’t anyone remember Beowulf? All you need is the face and they can pretend you have whatever body you need.
B)Warriors in ancient societies were often quite a bit larger than urban folks due to increased food. I’m not talking when on campaign, soldiers don’t campaign all the time. Any regular activity involving heavy shit, which I can guarantee a military life would consist of plus food equals size.
C) Different militaries bred different soldiers. The celts/Teutons were a generally larger, as the were generally self sustaining communitiies that kept and surplus of food. Therefore a prosperous tribe would have had plenty of food to create a 6’2, 220 LBS monster. Tribes also generally had larger men than urban societies. Nomadic societies had way more food invested in horses, generally were of a lighter frame due to their reliance on horses. Further, the standard sword a Celt/Teuton would wield would almost always far surpass somethin a civilixed soldier would use. There is a reason the Greek armies shad standardized spears and the Roman legionairres had a short sword. Cheaper and easier to replace, less craftmanship
That picture looks photoshopped does anybody have a real picture of him the last year, maybe he’s been in hiding for the last 2 years and they want everybody to think he’s small.
Will it still be conan the barbarian? because even with muscles he looks like a cool guy, someone I’d rather hit a bong with then go to war.
If he is not significantly bigger it has to be for 5 year olds.
I dont care if this guy “bulks up.” For him to put on the necessary ‘Conan Weight,’ he’s gonna need 100lbs, and im sure production isnt gonna wait the good 10 years it’d take. It just doesnt make sense. Its like remaking Rocky with a 130lb Australian dude. It doesnt work. This is just another example of how Hollywood needs to stay the fuck away from their classics. Get some damn original ideas, quit ruining the old shit by throwing some “hot today” fruit cup in there. They do this all the time, and 95% of the time, it’s just awful. They remade willy wonka. What happened? The misunderstood genius Gene wilder portrayed was turned into a Nancy boy with daddy issues and botox. Idc that it was “more like the book,” it was terrible. This movie is going to be about Conan finding his true love and learning the art of picking the perfect daisy. Despicable.
No worries. He just needs some proper training.

Hmm. Pic wouldn’t load. See above for bit.
Maybe that giant snake pet will eat him, and get bigger.
