Conan Rides Again.

Wednesday, May 12th, 2010

The remake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN starring Jason Momoa is currently filming in someone’s backyard. How do I know this? Because I looked at the set pictures over at Latino Review. Here’s a sample of the glory that awaits you:

Is this shirt to busy?

Is this shirt to busy?

Far be it for me to poopoo something that I haven’t seen yet, but this is the internet so I think it is expected. Every one of the pictures that were taken in that forest look cheap and lame. I don’t know what it is, but they seem very SyFy Channel to me. And that dude isn’t Conan…I don’t want to be that guy, but he doesn’t. I don’t believe for a second that he could go around barbarianarizing people.

To be fair, I do like the looks of the desolate village and the dude swinging in the cage. I think I like them because they are actually sets and not just “generic Canadian forest #2.” Good job on that one.

He’s Conan, Brah.

It is late right now and I’m afraid that the large amount of caffeine that normally sustains me is beginning to wear off. With that said I’m going to cut right to the chase. Some dude over at Deadline Hollywood has broken (and then pieced back together and distributed) the news that some-guy-I-don’t-know named Jason Momoa will be playing Conan the Barbarian in the remake of CONAN THE BARBARIAN. To put this signing into perspective, I have enlisted the help of the internet and together we found this picture of Mr. Momoa:

You got a daugher?

…thanks for nothing internet.

I looked through a few of the pictures that were presented to me and I honestly couldn’t find one where this guy didn’t look like a surf-bum or like he was high. Does this bode well for the King of Aquilonia? I’m going to say no, but who knows; they can do amazing things with computers these days.
