"Hey Fred, we've decided to lock down our Netflix thread due to inactivity. Should we?" It's already done 👀   It'd be nice if Fredrik actually responded to the tweet. |

I dunno he's not been very good at that type of thing.
We found out about Amazon dropping the series from a podcast with some friends of Ryan Condal.
Esad Ribic revealed that Marvel dropped Conan before any announcement Fredrik Malmberg or Marvel.
Would he tell us about Netflix dropping the series? We'll probably end up finding out through another source again.

Dont know, hun... I respect the man, obviously he is a fan, but sometimes he is not clear to me. It's like he doesn't have the courage to stand in front of the fans when things goes south. Nor has the strength to push through with a project. There's nothing of King Conan movie, but, like him or not, Arnold's persistence in the media is admirable. I would like to see someone else, like Malmberg himself, put even half the effort into a Conan project.

Let’s see if THAT gets a response! Netflix is now canceling successful shows, what’s the likelihood they’ll be adding a new one?

Genre cinema is the proper home for a Conan film, not mega corporations such as Netflix and Amazon. I'm glad that that this is going nowhere with Netflix, it would have been garbage with out a doubt. A hundred thousand or less is perfect for adapting most Conan stories. The only negative aspect here is how long will Neflix hold the rights? High Fantasy seems hot right now, however these properties are used as platforms to push politics and agendas, while the source material is viewed with contempt....... Leftist woke outfits like Netflix and Disney will never give you a Conan that is true, or close, to the source material.
Those were words of wisdom.
If we can't get the real Conan from an independent studios because it's impossible for him to be portrayed as such by corporate Hollywood,
then we better never see him on film or television again.
Or do we really want that at all costs?

I guess we'll wait until 12/31/2022. But by the gods, hyrkanian, I can't unsee that image. But you're right, we shouldn't be happy with just anything. Hell, I would be happy with that Iron Shadows movie at this point, though.
Do you think there is enough footage to string together Iron Shadows? With all the public domain comic book adaptations coming out overseas... perhaps now is the time to try and release it overseas. After all, how can people be allowed to adapt public domain tales into one medium (comics) and not the other (film)? Doesn't make sense. Now that a Chinese company ultimately owns the property, maybe they won't care. The Chinese laugh in the face of intellectual property rights when it comes to everyone else's stuff.

I guess Fredrik Malmberg wasn't able to snatch up an A-list star during the 24-hour window when he was a free agent: swordsofreh.proboards.com/thread/1609/cavill-warhammer-40k-amazon-series(to be UBER CLEAR - this is a joke... I have no knowledge of any talks but just combined "Henry Cavill would make solid Conan" + "Cavill quit Witcher" + "Cavill fired from Superman" + "Cavill on new fantasy franchise at Amazon" and out came this joke...) |

I know that's a joke, but it wouldn't be Malberg's fault when it comes to not landing a cast, etc...
From what I can gather he basically whores out the character to the highest bidding studio, whether it be streaming or motion pictures, and it's up to them to put the project together. He'll take a producer credit, etc.. but it's not really fair to blame him for not landing a good lead.
I know you are joking, but after Netflix shit the bed on the Witcher, Cavill probably wasn't keen to work with those idiots again any time soon.

Maybe if "blood of the serpent" was a best seller (by fantasy standards at least) Netflix would be more interested but sales seem very low (according to Amazon data).
I don't know much the rules of this forum but if you need my greenlight to shut down this thread (it was a post from me that started it) you have my blessings.
