    I still wish they would let Ah-nold make the final of his trilogy - Old Man King Conan...

    Still... a new TV series on Amazon might be sweet. New G0T?

    Yeah, they should jump all the way to the end with Arnold. All joking aside, that could be pretty bad ass.

    After reading the article, I'm hopeful about the Amazon series... though, paradoxically, I'm hoping that it's not a mainstream hit, because that would mean straying from the books. When I read that they wanted to stay true to the old stories... CROM!

    Definitely. You can really tell a difference in the first two Arnold movies. The third would likely be the best. A few rumors have popped up, but I haven't heard anything lately.

    And I think it could stay true to the books AND reach a wider audience? Imagine if they added stats. Heh.

    Heh, indeed. That would be awesome!

    And there's a chance that a close telling could still go mainstream, I suppose, in this post-GoT world.

    I think it has potential. We'll see.

    Man I would love it if they stayed true to the books. That would be pretty great. A callous barbarian viewing magic with superstition and destroying dark evil when convenient and it does not interfere to much with his baser appetites. (am I remembering that correctly?) Look forward to checking it out, didn't see a release date? thanks for posting.

    Looks like he's getting a new Marvel comic too...

    Maybe Marvel would do a third movie with Arnold as King Conan after all?

    I'd rather they took their time and did it right? Just saying!
