The film rumours have been around for months now. I believe Arnold is out of
consideration for the lead, but is being wooed for a supporting role or
cameo. "Pro Wrestler" The Rock was approached for the Conan lead. I'm not a
WWW fan but, hey, he can fake intelligence better than Arnold (or Moeller)!
"Rock" is tied up filming the sequal to the Mummy, I think. Anyway, he's
definitely out of the running.
Is there anyone here who remotely thinks they will get an actor who can
portray the Conan we know? The Conan who was a general and strategist, who
spoke several languages he picked up in his travels, who could cat-nap by
the side of a trail like a jungle cat waiting for his prey, who relied as
much on his wits as his biceps to survive?
Prepare yourselves for disappointment. I'll see this one the same way I saw
the Arnold versions: Late night TV when I'm too tired to find the remote and
change channels.
