IGN FilmForce Exclusive: Milius Begins Work on Conan 3 Screenplay

Wed, Feb 28, 2001 06:58 PM EST

Now the only question is whether or not Arnold will strap on the old
loincloth again...

Sources close to original Conan director John Milius have informed IGN
FilmForce that Milius has begun work on the screenplay for the third film in
the Conan series.

Titled King Conan: Crown of Iron, the title certainly has a Robert E. Howard
ring to it.  As you may remember, IGN FilmForce first brought you news of
the project last summer when the Wachowski Brothers made it clear they were
very interested in reviving the series with Milius.

While the idea of bringing back one of the most successful fantasy films of
all time seems like a no brainer, questions still surround Arnold
Schwarzenegger's involvement.  While Milius has made clear that he prefers
Arnold return to one of his best known roles, Schwarzenegger himself has
remained somewhat aloof on the subject, going so far as telling the press
during interviews for The 6th Day that he didn't think he would be able to
fit the project into his schedule.  Rumors have also surrounded the
possibility of actor Ralph Moeller (recently seen in Ridley Scott's
Gladiator) taking over the role.  Moeller played Conan in a short-lived
television version of the characer.
