"Yes there will be surprise announcements for sure! Gaming in all forms remains our focus but comics and collectibles remain strong and important categories for us. My personal goal is that we can get a greenlight for our Netflix show this year" www.enriqueautor.com/post/fredrik-malmberg-interviewThanks Blackheart. Unfortunately, it looks like we're in for a long wait. |

Some of the questions from the interview concerning the Netflix series:
This year marks the 90th anniversary of Conan the Cimmerian. As Thoth-Amon once said: “time flies when you’re having fun”. You are going to release a new novel (Blood of the Serpent) and a videogame (Conan chop-chop). Can we expect more surprises this 2022?
Yes there will be surprise announcements for sure! Gaming in all forms remains our focus but comics and collectibles remain strong and important categories for us. My personal goal is that we can get a greenlight for our Netflix show this year.
When the Netflix deal was announced the fans were pretty excited. I know this kind of stuff is kept a secret for a reason, but, can you give us a little update?
We are in development. The ambition is quite high, its not only series but films and animation and we want to make sure it is all well orchestrated and with continuity. Netflix is a huge organization but with us in the middle we try to navigate between the departments and make sure that the creative vision stays on top. I hope we can get greenlight late this year which could mean start of production next year some time.
We know that (unfortunately) “Legend of Conan” won’t happen. Lo! The day Universal fled away lots of women cried tears of despair while the men crunched their teeth. Years go by and none of us are getting any younger… but, I have to ask: do you think there’s ANY CHANCE of Arnold reprising the role? Maybe not in the Netflix “flagship show” but in a side project?
Nobody ever knew how old Conan got to be, right? And what he did after he left the throne. If there is a will, there is a way, and I think everybody would love to see Arnold involved in some way.
You know if there’s a possibility of any of these projects to be partially shot on Zingara (Spain)?
I’m all for it. These shows are typically shot all around the world, and there are inevitable number crunchings deciding where they end up shooting. But Spain is a great location.
We all know "Conan the Destroyer" is far from perfect (especially if we compare it to the Millius classic). However, there are persistent rumours of an "extended edition" that solves a lot of problems in the film. You know if that's true or if we can expect a Blu-Ray release in the near future?
I have not heard of that actually.
We have talked a lot about Conan but there is another Howard character I found as interesting (if not more) as the Cimmerian: Solomon Kane. Have you any plans for him in the near future?
It is a favorite character of mine too, along with El Borak. We need to get Conan made, and well made, and in my mind that sopens up for a lot of these other characters both in games and film and tv.

Hopefully, Malmberg takes no notice of the Conan the Destroyer extended edition.
He's gotta get REH's Conan on screen first - unfortunately, what he has to say in the interview sounds like a load of ol' flannel.

Don't know what to think, hunnu... The 40th anniversary is approaching. The series would certainly not suffer because of the new longer edition of the old film on CD. All things considered, I would love to see that. TV Show in the first place, of course. Extended CtD is + with all that, from games to pastiches.

How can you fix Conan the Destroyer? Cut Malak completely out of the movie. I'd start there.

I heared that a lot of scenes were cut from the original editon as they aiming towards a PG-13 or 15 rating.

Wow, from that interview I doubt we'll be seeing anything anytime soon when it comes to any type of Conan series. If we aren't seeing signs by now, it's not going to happen.
I wonder if the production companies are just going to wait for all the original REH stories to go into the public domain and then not have to pay the IP Holding Company anything.

This sounds like Netflix wants to neuter things to make them more in tune with current sensibilities.

Now Jar Jar Binks was just funny for how annoying that character was. I mean what was George Lucas smoking !?!
I'm thinking comedic relief offbeat such as Bill Murray in Caddyshack.
In any case CtD was kinda mediocre, but had its moments. I wouldn't be going back to it to look for ideas for a new Conan series or movie.

Its really wierd, more than 2 years and they have not even receive a green lgiht from Netflix....maybe after The Northman they could try to do something but right now Netflix its too busy with Vikings Valhalla and The Last Kingdom maybe if they fail they could try to get Conan sooner but at this point I dont know. |
