I think this is a good idea. Conan is already a series, and there's (supposedly) only one good movie, so if they fuck up it's not really a disgrace. Besides, I'm glad to see Arnold taking more lead roles. He was merely embarrassing in Expendables 2, but I think that was the sum of odd personality, strange English, bad writing, and limited screentime. With the whole movie dedicated to him I think he may do much better.

Though this is gonna be the first barbarian movie with elderly star in it... it's a mucle man genre. Does Arnold stil have muscles? (yeah, no need to link that beach photo). Maybe better set it in snowy mountains :D

The other two projects... the prison film with Stallone, and the Kim Jee Woon film, also look promising. I'm glad that Arnold is really trying a comeback, and as leading man in action movies like he should, rather than do some miserable comedies with Adam Sandler...

I was never a fan of the Conan movies (didn't see the remake) so have no affection for the series. If they fuck it up I won't care so go for it I says. :D

Same as Mark. Hardly familiar with the Conan-franchise, so couldn't really give a fuck. However, there is ofcourse a huge potential to make a serious bad-ass movie about an old Conan, battle-scarred, hurt, to go out and do what he has to do one more last time.

It could absolutely be AWESOME, IF done right. But you would need a director who will take the whole thing serious and also make it look right, cinematically speaking.
