We've already seen the teaser trailer and read the brief synopsis, but now Bleeding Cool has substantially more information on the upcoming Conan the Barbarian, thanks to the Press Release issued by Lion's Gate.
The producers acknowledge the excellent 1982 Ah-noldfest but say they ''see that film as only a small part of a much larger Conan universe that has continued to develop over the decades since its inception... We're approaching [this film] as a film based on an entire culture.'' Whatever that means.
It's a tough act to follow, given how freaking awesome the John Milius-helmed adaptation was (and I strongly urge you watch it with the Ah-nold/Milius double-act commentary, as it's hilarious) and whilst I hate to sound negative, I'm not seeing anything here that I haven't seen in countless low-budget/SyFy Channel ''heroic fantasy'' movies... I'm hoping to be proved wrong, though, as a character like Conan deserves a revival.
