The word around the movie rumours camp fire this morning is that Arnold Schwarzenegger is possibly gearing up to star in a new trilogy of ‘Conan’ movies, starting with THE LEGEND OF CONAN. The Arnold Fans scored a scoop when they caught up with Fredrik Malmberg, president and CEO of Paradox Entertainment, who currently own the rights to the property.
“Oh, it’s happening. We have a great story. Everyone loves it. This is a role that’s perfect for [Arnold] and he’s very involved with the whole Universal team. It’s the best team they have. Arnold has been very instrumental to bringing this together saying, ‘We gotta make a good Conan!’ I think if we do this right, we can do two more ‘Conan’ movies right after. I think ‘Game of Thrones’ also shows a huge interest in fantasy. I’m psyched about it.”
Yes, go wild. He mentioned GAME OF THRONES in the same breath as Conan. Malmberg added this when asked about more movies and the age of Arnie, who will be pushing seventy for the first movie:
“That’s what we hope. In fact Arnold – judging by other classic actors like Eastwood who’s in his 80s – still looks badass. I think if this film is good and is well received, then I don’t think we have to say ‘no’ to Arnold for several more movies. We can keep going forward, even after he ages.”
THE LEGEND OF CONAN is set for release in 2014. More on this here.
