I wouldn't be so sure. Certainly they are going to consider it/they are now considering it very seriously providing that the new Terminator performs well (and prognosis is good). I can imagine Milius directing it with some help. After all, several years ago Francis Ford Coppola said apropos 'King Conan' that he is certain Milius is able to direct it, plus that if Milius is directing it, he'd be willing to help out. I am sure with this photo and the message it sends they are laying ground for this possibility.

There's a posibility, sure. Like there's a posibility for you or me, one day, to play the role of Conan in the future, my friend. There is a chance, nothing is imposible, but... that aint gonna happend for neither one of us. Personly, I would love to see King Conan with Arnold. I realy would. Done right, it could be epic, and could add a lot of weight on fandom, wich would create interest trough wider audiance for new future adaptation, closer to REH's vision. And, that final unseen chapter would finaly came to closure. Then, again, Dark Fate will surely, and I can bet on it, surely be third and final flop of Terminator saga. Big Arn' should've screewed f*cking cyborgs and return to the roots, but hey, he didnt. And, with his 70+... Malmberg couldnt even decide what direction he wanted with younger actor in 2011, certanly, he wont give the green light for poorly writen LoC script. Crown of Iron is old news, and Millius (stroke, years and all) doesnt seem capable to write new movie, even less to direct it. And, again... SJW's wont alow its succes. We wont see any version of Conan on film for a long time |

I'd imagine, in all likelihood, the best way forward, for a series at least, would probably involve characters (created by REH) sharing a great deal more time on screen than we (REH/Conan/Milius fans) would like or expect in any future project.

These day Hollywood is all about making trilogies and franchises, making a movie which would start at the end of a character's life and with no chance of milking for years to come would be a hard sell. |

Again, this, what you said, goes only for the non-ambitious projects. But if Milius/Coppola/Verhoeven/etc. is to direct a Conan movie with Arnold today, that would be something else. I.e. no one, for example, expects a sequel of a Tarantino movie. This would be in the same league.

I agree with Aryeh on this. And I know this aint gonna happend, but, if there's a third Conan movie, that can cause another move by the producers, if it shows that there's a lot of interest among the fans out there. New directors cut for CtB (as we know there's more scenes filmed, even diferent aproach to a story), and extended edition for CtD (as we know it was R rated in the begining, love scene between Taramis and Conan, even few deleted scenes that we hear about from time to time). We can pretend that Destroyer never happend, but this aproach could exclude few jokes, and actualy make movie worth of watch. Maybe even retouch it a bit with nowaday filters to make it a little more 'modern'  Fans would definetly welcomed such edition, and there is money to be made being that a lot of people are actualy nostalgic, and King Conan could be the end of that saga. On that way, they could cash on all 3 flicks - if they ever create a new one. This would give us something new to be seen in old stuff, and the end story would finaly be told. And then, after old fandom finaly been satisfyed, some younger audiance brought to know more about Conan, and interest in material grows, we could get a green light for Conan of Cimmeria live action show and watch how REH's Conan comes to life on screen for the first time 😍 Ha! In your dreams, BH... 😒 |

With the failure that was Dark Fate, I'am pretty sure Arnold wont be donning the loincloth again.

It is certainly too bad that Dark Fate didn't do better and I know that Arnold will never be Conan again but regardless of whether Arnold plays Conan or not, a King Conan film would still be something I'd be interested in seeing.

The problem i see with a King Conan film directly adapted from Howard's works is that such a film would be a franchise 'ender' rather than the beginning of a series. Consider it this way; we get Gerard Butler (50) to play Conan in a direct adaptation of The Hour Of The Dragon. where does this potential film trilogy go from there? Water it down by having a younger actor play Conan in flashback? I don't think so. |

Given that the first published Conan story is The Phoenix on the Sword where Conan is king I don't see why it couldn't work. In this day and age of sequel, prequel, midquel, why not? You couldn't have the same actor playing Conan but I don't see it as a deal breaker these days. It would be interesting to jump around Conan's life the way the stories do. |

I think you greatly overestimate the average person to follow a series of movies that would jump back and forth in time. Even in a show it would be pushing it.
Plus movies these days seem to be obsessed with origin stories and telling us everything about characters so you know they would want to start at the beginning. This is a personal pet peeve of mine since I prefer when we find out bits of a character's past through conversation and flashbacks and fill in the blanks ourselves.
I don't think we'll get another Conan movie until people have started to forget the Mamoa film and a studio is willing to take another shot at it. But maybe we might still get a series out of it since there seems to be a resurgence of fantasy lately.

I'll never fathom why studios/producers so adamantly chose to pursue the The Terminator franchise after Salvation's medicore box office returns and especially after Dark Fate bombed at the box office. It's a shame really, maybe if those dumb assess in charge hadn't been so stupidly stubborn in creating another Terminator film no one was asking for, the chance of Arnold reprising the role of Conan would be significantly bigger. |

I agree, fuck chronological story telling. Do it the way Howard did it, jumping around into various points in Conan's life. I would find going the James Bond route with different actors portraying him at various stages of his life very interesting personally. |
