HBO MAX, Hulu, Paramount? HBO Max would have been my first choice for a series - with the right people involved. How about Starz?

HBO MAX, Hulu, Paramount? With all three of these having money issues I’d be surprised if it was any of them right now. I didn’t take from the story that there was someone ready to sign on at this moment but everything was still in the talking stage. Condal was right for Amazon then it fell apart. If Andre’s right, DeKnight was right for Netflix, but that fell apart. At least Steven isn’t locked down anywhere else right now unlike Ryan so he could still be an option. They need to get a rock solid deal and have pre-production already underway before making any more announcements. Wonder if Ryan would be up for showrunning three series ie House of the Dragon, the Hedge Knight and Conan, esp if it was with HBO Max and they could re use some of the scenery, weapons and costumes?

Like the good old days! Hey we’ve got so much leftovers from our biblical epic, let’s make a gladiator film!

Netflix has no say in the matter, Malmberg confirmed to Midnight's Edge last week that the series is no longer being developed there; he's taken the rights elsewhere! What is more, they TODAY released an update detailing what went wrong at Netflix, as well as which story Arnold wanted to tell! So Arnie didn't want to do a third Conan movie anyway, 'moved on' type of thing. Conan was just a stepping stone in his movie career of course, stint in politics, but like so many of the old has-beens of Hollywood who want to come back and are not given new parts, wants to reprise an old role to get some of the shine back, after so many decades too late for that and as that video points out, most of the post politics Arnie movies have been flops, so why tint REH's Conan with that. Get someone younger, ditch the German accents, make Conan more Gaelic and Howardian this time around and go from there, maybe Henry Cavill as Conan, that is if they keep the activitists at bay which I doubt since its all about being 'safe and included' these days...except if you refuse experimental you know what. Notice 8:15 in, that 'screw your freedom' episode, that didn't help Arnie any. Actually, if they ever made a bomb with Arnie I would love him to use that line, imagine how hilarious that would be in the flop, King Conan standing on a podium and telling his subjects to 'screw your freedom'. I have to agree with one of the comments, that if a time existed for Arnie to reprise his role as Conan after the 80's it would have been no later than the early 2000's. In all seriousness I can't imagine it working now even if they gave it an Unforgiven or Old Man Logan treatment with a grizzled and disillusioned Arnie Conan going out one last time.

It wasn't a bad script, really. It just had some pretty apparent issues. For all of Chris Morgan's talk about loving the original movie, there is one howler of a continuity error.

Hopefully, that's the end of all this speculation concerning the Arnie King Conan movie.
Time to work on getting REH's Conan on screen, even if takes awhile.
Could Condal or DeKnight return and work on an upcoming Conan movie?

Could Condal or DeKnight return and work on an upcoming Conan movie? There already IS a filmmaker working on Conan. We don't know who, but it cannot be Condal, as he will be busy with House of The Dragon for at least six more seasons/years, and based on what Malmberg told Midnight's Edge, the filmmaker at the very least sounded to be higher profile than DeKnight ...

Thanks for the video Norseman. Yeah, I see Malmberg mention the filmmaker in the tweet. I guess we'll have to be patient, unfortunately got no choice.

Hopefully they can announce the who and the where at the same time AND something of a guarantee it’ll actually be done. That’s been the sticking point, though in the last two cases I guess doing nothing was better than making something to conform with their ideas

Just watched a “King Conan concept trailer” on YouTube. They used “deepFake” for a comedic take on a Arnold version. It got a couple chuckles out of me.

Like the good old days! Hey we’ve got so much leftovers from our biblical epic, let’s make a gladiator film! Aye! Also I think it was Jason who mentioned some time ago in the GRRM thread that they could have reused some of those sets for a Fafhrd and Grey Mouser series. Benjamin Franklin once said that if you want something done ask a busy person. Wonder how Ryan would handle juggling HotD, tHK, Conan and F+GM projects all at once.

That was our original hope for Netflix! :-) Unless things fall into place really quick, I don’t think we’ll hear anything yet.

Titan launches the comic in July and according to Malmberg that when we are going to get a proper update, hopefully he will not ask us to wait a couple of months again.
