Arnie is going to catch so much crap over this - I can see it now but it's about goddamn time. I really really hope that this happens and they make an awesome conclusion to this series. The Jason Mamoa movie wasn't horrendous but it sure as hell wasn't anywhere near as good as the original.

Maaan. I know nobody liked Momoa's Conan but I did. I like Arnie's sure, but they made Conan into a blithering idiot in those films which he was far from in his original conception.

Sad to see it won't be evolving but I'm sure I'll enjoy Arnie's film all the same.

How is this going to work? Will Arnie have a son or something? I don't see him doing much in the movie other than being a Mr. Miyagi type training teacher to younger cadets.
