One of the trailers attached to Battle: Los Angeles in theaters over the weekend was the remake of Conan the Barbarian, the film that marks the biggest bet yet made by Avi Lerner’s Millennium Films. There was a whole lot of back and forth on who might play the role that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger’s film career, and Jason Momoa at least looks the part. Conan will be released by Lionsgate in August.


It’s not a remake. Not any more than The Dark Knight is a remake of Batman and Robin. This Conan the Barbarian is an entirely new movie using the same literary source. (Though it’s an easy mistake to make when they use the exact same title as the Milius movie, for some reason.)
WOW…if this doesn’t make you want to run out and see the new Conan movie…don’t know what will.
LOL
I’ve seen better command of After Effects in PTA presentations.
i can surmise from the trailer that Conan spends the entire movie talking to a woman and possible lighting and blowing out a candle
We need to face facts. Some of the best acting talent ever started on “Stargate Atlantis” as bulked up aliens who knew how to brood.
Or maybe not.
Actually, I wish them luck.
I watched.
I waited.
I decided.
I am not seeing this movie.
I read.
I thought about it.
I laughed at thinking about it.
I agree.
That looks UTTERLY ridiculous! I hope it bombs at the box office.
I don’t really understand why everyone’s hating on this teaser. It’s 40 seconds of nothing – at the very worst it’s a push (and at the very best). There’s literally nothing here that tells us anything substantiative about the movie whatsoever – whether it’s good, or whether it’s crap. I assume most of the comments here are job/politically motivated, cause I just can’t see why everyone’s so worked up beyond the usual remake/reboot thing.
“Hot Teaser”??
uh, maybe in ‘fantasy land’ this mess is considered “hot” but not on this plane of reality.
Lmao, quoted for life! This is worse than Smurfs, I think. At least Smurfs didn1`t try to hide easy-to-predict suckage behind smoke like this thing. Lol, bombs away!
Hahaha! That trailer is laughable. Momoa looks like he escaped from being an extra on Hercules and Xena and somehow wondered onto a film set. This looks like major suckage. Crom laughs at hollywood!
Could be the worst trailer of all time.
That suh-diddly-ucks, Flanders.
I don’t want to sound like a cruel fanboy, but this simply looks like ass. Sweaty ass. Sweaty homeless guy ass in July.
Great title treatment, but the teaser itself is embarassing.
Bring back Lee Horsely & The Sword & the Sorcerer II. Without Pyun directing.
pass
Shame on my generation for supporting this shit…
We have Hollywood right in our grasp and we’re just remaking everything. So sad…
Looking forward to a website that allows fans to call out film executives for supporting this garbage.
We can do better.
so so true
Since my name is Conan, I believe in legally obligated to see this movie.
Guys, this is the producer who brought us such Oscar worthy material such as 88 MINUTES and RIGHTEOUS KILL with Oscar performances by Al Pacino and Robert De Niro; THE EXPENDABLES, same for Stallone and that wrestler dude; BROOKLYN’S FINEST, THE WICKER MAN with Nic Cage … I mean seriously look at his credits, anything this guy touches turns into box office gold and Oscars.
Oh wait, my bad, I’m thinking of Scott Rudin. Avi makes crappy films that I wouldn’t flush down my toilet for fear of clogging it because the turds are so thick.
He took a $30 buyout from NBC to star in this poo?
Me see pictures move on giant wall in large dark cave. Eat many bowls of popcorn and drink bubble juice from soft cup that fall on floor and splash angry woman next to me. Picture make sound and me watch with mouth no closed for many moments. Man on wall slay many beast and speak like my cousin Cocrack when he comes over for the festival of the Wooden Bats. Then picture on wall end and cave get brighter and me told to leave many times. Me like all teasers with bright lights and loud sound.
This is the trailer equivalent of skull and cross bones. Stay away!
It just goes to show you that studios get so enmeshed in group think that no one was able to say, uh, this sucks, we can’t release it.
if by Hot Teaser you mean THIS SUCKS. Wow, that looks awful. I’m sure they can’t show the actual film for fear nobody would be fooled into going to see it.
red sonja anyone? anyone?
i predict its better than kull the conquerer, but worse than the skorpian king. wooowww
It looks like a new Cirque du Soleil show.
That was the worst trailer I have seen this year. I would have been better if they just scrapped it.
How did this get made? wtf?
KRULL called, he wants his schtick back.
