I went looking for a different script, and ended up finding two more drafts of the 2011 reboot. Here's all four, for anyone who's interested in reading them.
Thanks!

Not a problem, I had been curious about Hood's draft for a while now, and I had no idea Lobel was involved at all.

Awesome. Thanks! Now I just need Oliver Stone's original CtB script and others!

Only_one_ ...among many... It sounds like there was possibly a good film in there somewhere, it just didn't hit the screen.

I've actually grown to pull my expectations a bit and allow myself to like the film. It's not a bad pop-corn movie. It's just not the epic Conan film that we all wanted. I watch it every so often.

Jason Momoa Slams His ‘Conan The Barbarian’ Film As “A Big Pile”By Bruce Haring Don’t expect Jason Momoa to participate in future anniversary celebrations of his role in Conan The Barbarian.
Speaking to British GQ for a profile piece, Momoa slammed the 2011 film, which he starred in as the sword-swinging character of legend in a remake of the film that featured Arnold Schwarzenegger in 1982.
“I’ve been a part of a lot of things that really sucked, and movies where it’s out of your hands,” Momoa told British GQ. “Conan was one of them. It’s one of the best experiences I had, and it [was] taken over and turned into a big pile of s***.”
The film did have a somewhat rocky beginning. The film was stalled at Warner Bros. before Lionsgate bought the rights. Brett Ratner was prematurely announced as director before German filmmaker Marcus Nispel was enlisted in June 2009. Momoa was cast in Jan. 2010.
The film had a $90 million budget was and released in 3D. It was savaged by critics and sunk like a rock, getting a 25% approval rating on Rotten Tomatoes. Conan grossed $48 million worldwide.
Momoa recovered nicely, though. Before Conan’s release, he debuted as the Dothraki warlord Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones.
Since then, he’s been cast as Aquaman in the DC Comics Extended Universe, appearing in 2016’s Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, and then 2017’s Justice League and 2018’s Aquaman.
He also had a supporting role in 2021’s Dune, and has a new Aquaman on the horizon with Aquaman and the Lost Kingdom.

I wouldn't call it a big pile of shit, had its moments, although kinda mediocre generally speaking, but I'm sure they can do a bigger job of f...g it up next time around.

When even the star of the movie has nothing nice to say about it . . .

I read through Andrew Lobel's revision of the Donnelly/Oppenheimer script this week. It's pretty close to the movie with some details being different. And it can't have been all that good when the most standout part of it was Lobel comparing the sewer pipe Conan uses to infiltrate Khalar's fortress to "a corpse's asshole". Stay classy, man.

I just recently re-watched Conan 2011 for the 4 or 5th time?, IMO the movie works a little better if you skip the back story and start the movie right where Conan is an adult/the action sequence where he free's the slaves.
