In ancient times, Conan (Jason Momoa), a Cimmerian, grows up with vengeance in his heart, having seen Khalar Zim (Stephen Lang) lay waste to his village and kill his father in his pursuit of a mystical mask with which he will subdue the whole world and resurrect his enchantress wife. He wants to become a [...]
To mark the release of Conan the Barbarian on Blu-ray, DVD and Download December 12th, we’ve been given three DVDs to give away courtesy of Lions Gate Home Entertainment. JASON MOMOA (Game of Thrones) stars as the legendary hero Conan in a stunning new visualisation of the hugely popular fantasy character, coming to DVD and [...]
Cast your mind back to the late eighties/early nineties when Arnold Schwarzenegger was the biggest star on the planet. The Austrian-born bodybuilder-cum-toast of Tinseltown had an incredible run at the box office, and managed that rare feat of transcending his nationality (little explanation was ever attributed to his character’s thick Teutonic accents) and somehow became [...]
I recently caught up with what I had assumed would be the final instalment of John Rambo’s adventures, the imaginatively titled “Rambo”. Like pretty much everyone else that has seen it, I was profoundly disappointed and hoped it would be a final nail in the coffin rather than a set of jump-leads for an attempted [...]
On Sunday morning I woke up bright, early and ever so bouncy to interview the positively charming Jason Momoa about his role in the new Conan the Barbarian movie (which I thoroughly enjoyed, you can check out my review here). I wandered into the hotel suite whilst the 6ft 5 actor was knocking back an orange juice [...]
Stand aside summer blockbusters and make way for Conan! Marcus Nispel, together with Millenium Films producers Les Weldon and Danny Lerner have reawakened a giant in the sword and sorcery fantasy genre by bringing the ultimate warrior and fictional archetype of unbridled masculinity into the 21st century. But even with a staggering $80 million budget behind [...]

Lionsgate have released this new UK red band trailer which is rather violent and definitely NSFW! It basically shows people getting killed in various nasty ways which is a small taster of what we can expect from the brand new version of Conan the Barbarian. The movie is a reboot of the movie made famous [...]

More swords and leather loinclothes today as Marcus Nispel’s Conan the Barbarian 3D stands on the cinematic horizon, ready to leap into action on the 26th of August and from the look of these new pics, it’s a handsome looking affair. Jason Momoa continues to look all kinds of intimidating and there’s a good look [...]
Last on Friday, Lionsgate released this brand new red band trailer for Conan the Barbarian 3d was released. I was going to put it up then but I wanted everyone in the UK to see it so it had to wait till now! Conan the Barbarian is a reboot of the movie made famous by [...]
Sticking your foot into the Conan story in order to reboot it inevitably involves a fresh lick of paint and this Jason Momoa fronted take on Robert E. Howard’s famous barabarian has a very clear 21st century visual identity, as is displayed very clearly in this new TV Spot. The swift montage of pecs and [...]
Lionsgate have just sent over these five great new new character posters which give us a good look at Conan, Tamara, Corin, Mariqu and Khalar Zym. Further to these, UGO have a nice new 3d motion version last week which was on our list to get posted and this seemed like the perfect time. Scroll [...]

When you get invited for cocktails with a 6’4 Hawaiian actor/model, how can you possibly do anything except swoon and meep “yes, please!” This is how, on the evening of 10th May I found myself clutching a glass of white wine and staring across the room as Conan the Barbarian aka Jason Momoa pushed a [...]
Taking the bold step to remake a well known and, in some corners, well-loved film series with an iconic character as its lead needs one crucial element to succeed. When you cast the role of Conan you need to find Conan – there are no half measures here. Make a mistake on the casting of [...]
The new poster for Marcus Nispel’s Conan the Barbarian is an exercise is kicking subtlety in the groin with a steel toe-capped sledgehammer, but it’s certainly preferable to another floating face collage. The recent trailer seemed to confirm expectations that this retelling of the Conan tale will be full of violence and growling, which is [...]
Last night, Yahoo released a full-length theatrical trailer for Conan and it didn’t really do much for me. It looks like it’s going to be a cross between Clash of the Titans (the 80s version!) and Labyrinth! Have a watch below and let us know what you think in the comments section. Let’s hope it [...]
MTV have released a nice new batch of images of upcoming movies this summer and we’ll show you each one in a series of posts over the next few days.
