Jason Momoa is Conan for the 2011 movie version. The production is currently under way, shooting on location in Bulgaria.
The biggest question is WHAT will the new movie be about. Here’s the answer according to an insider:
A remake implies a new version of an original script. This movie has no connection to any previous Conan movies, it is a franchise restart, like “Batman Begins”. It is a brand new adaptation of the original Conan stories by Robert E. Howard.
So it’s not a remake or a sequel, it’s a RESTART

Interesting new term – restart. Batman needed it since Begins is one of my favorite movies. Hopefully it will work for Conan.
