Stan Lee Media Inc. Is Suing Conan The Barbarian
It goes without saying that Conan The Barbarian was a massive disappointment. In addition to getting absolutely dismal reviews, the Marcus Nispel-directed film opened at #4 last weekend and only took in a little over $10 million. Considering it had a $90 million budget, the movie will need to pull a miracle out of its ass internationally if it doesn't want to go down as one of the biggest flops of 2011.

What does Hollywood when do when it runs out of ideas and the summer movie season is drawing to a close? It remakes a movie from a couple of decades ago. Then it remakes another one.

Watch The First Scene From Conan The Barbarian
Director Marcus Nispel may not have the greatest titles listed on his filmography, but if there's one thing the man knows how to do it's how to spill blood all over the silver screen.

UK Trailer For Conan The Barbarian
After what director Marcus Nispel did to both the Friday The 13th and Texas Chainsaw Massacre remakes, I've had a hard time understanding why anybody is excited for his take on Conan The Barbarian.

Conan The Barbarian Character Posters
Having never really seen Jason Momoa act before, I was a little skeptical when they announced he’d be stepping into the role of the beloved Conan the Barbarian. He has the look, but there wasn’t much else to go on. But now that he’s graced the small screen as Khal Drogo in HBO’s Game of Thrones it’s pretty safe to say that Jason Momoa is one bad muther effer and that the role of Conan is safe in his hands. 
Conan The Barbarian Poster Wants To Remind You Of 300
