Arnold Schwarzenegger has been a ton of movies and most of them include some of the best action and one-liners of all time. There is one movie that has been talked about for about three years now, but has yet to make it to theaters. That movie is “Legend of Conan” and it was first announced back in 2012 with high hopes that it would be in a theater near you by the end of last year.
Since movie goers can clearly see that it was not in a theater near them, many just figured the idea was dead. That is not the case as the producer for the movie and Arnold Schwarzenegger have been quoted in interviews that they are both excited about the “Legend of Conan” movie. Producer Chris Morgan said that it is the “perfect movie for him, because it plays into his own journey” as he and others are trying to figure out when the movie can move to the next step.
Legend of Conan is supposed to be the sequel to the 1982 hit “Conan the Barbarian”, which was directed by John Milius. According to the reports online, the producers are going to move forward like “Conan the Destroyer” never existed back in 1984. Either way the producers finally decide to go with it, the movie will be based on Robert E. Howard’s fantasy novels that included the barbarian and dark magic.
Morgan said that is just wants to be respectful to Howard and hopefully sticking close to the original story line will bring a blockbuster to the big screen. As the movie stands right now, there are a couple of drafts written up and according to online source, the movie should begin filming later this year. The movie is going through a re-write by Will Beall right now and that could be part of the reason for the delay as the creative minds figure out where they want to go with the movie.
Meanwhile, Arnold Schwarzenegger is staying busy enough to keep himself out of trouble. The Conan movie will start filming this year, but that is not the only project for the popular bodybuilder. He is expected to hit the big screens again this summer as T-800 in Terminator: Genysis. Arnold Schwarzenegger is an older actor, but just by look at the list of projects that he has lined up, not to mention another installment to the Expendables series coming up, it would seem that he is still very young at heart.
