They've just gotten around to recreating them by the way, so there were some nice piccies.<p>So anyway, I read about this rumour that producer John Milius has been working for some time at the Conan III project. I thought "Well, Arnold IS a bit old but it would work since Conan is to be older too, in this script". Yes, the early rumours were brought up on "Ain't It Cool News", but it's grown since then.<br />I also read about the Wachowski brothers being on the staff too (The Matrix), and it's been said that in the movies, Arnold's plays as good as his producer/director. Well then I've got a good feeling about this.<p>Let's face it, "Conan" was a revolution in the Fantasy/adventure genre, to me it's one of the classics. Even the second film was pretty good, along with Red Sonia.<br />And now <i>would</i> be the perfect time to do a sequel, Arnold is still in good shape, the Wachowski's are still going up.<br />Also, the CGI of today could do some awesome sceneries of the age between the doom of Atlantis and the rise of the sons of Arius. <img src="wink.gif" border="0"> <br />Oh, and <i>Mako</i> is said to have joined the cast too (Conan's magician and chronicler)! :-)<p>Now if only they could get Basil Polidouris for the musical score again, I'll be the proverbial happy camper.<p>Thoughts? (Oh, and never mind my .sig, I love Arnold. He's like the son I never had)<p>[ August 30, 2001: Message edited by: G.K Nimrod ]</p> <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#E5EAEF"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <b>MeGotBeer</b> <br /><small>Member # 411</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="2" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> <img src="https://flare.solareclipse.net/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.write(timestamp(new Date(2001,7,30,21,32,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><noscript><span class="dateformat-0">August 30, 2001</span> <span class="timeformat-0">09:32 PM</span></noscript><hr /> </font> <font size="3" face="Trebuchet MS, Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif"> Nim,<p>Buddy.
