    Conan the Rebootarian

    Conan the Barbarian: Conan the Barbarian: Trailer 1
    http://www.rottentomatoes.com/m/conan_2011/trailers/11137356
    A powerful Cimmerian warrior, Conan carves a bloody path across the land of Hyboria on a personal vendetta. That soon turns into an epic battle against evil, for Conan's mortal enemy, Khalar Zym, seeks the legendary Mask of Acheron. The artifact will enable Khalar Zym to raise his wife from the dead and achieve immortality for himself, but it will also unleash a malevolent force upon the land, and only Conan and his companions can stop it.

    Maybe it's just my love for the old Ahnold version, or the fact that I think the guy looks goofy with the make-up, but I am not impressed. Conan is played by Jason Momoa, who is playing Khal Drogo in the Game of Throne television series. Which start April 17th I might add.

      Well he may not have the stage presence of Arnie, but maybe he can act....

      But I guess theres not much acting invloved in a Connan movie anyway.

      (yes and I have em all)

          He was decent enough on Stargate Atlantis. I'd even be willing to bet that it was his character on Atlantis that helped him land this role.

          Regardless, Conan he is not. I think the problem is that there are so few actors that have a build like Arnold did/does and that can act. Granted Arnold couldn't really act, but he sold his performance and generally people enjoyed it.
