For over ten years, barbarians everywhere know that the staff of TAFs has been the world’s strongest online supporter of King Conan. For a decade we reminded Arnold that his number one most anticipated film by his fans has been King Conan, we send him facebook pleas and organize an occasional K.C. movement on twitter, we created the petition to get Arnold onboard (which gained over 14,000 signatures), and we’ve been relentless to bring up the film title to Schwarzenegger every time we see our cinematic hero...including Randy’s San Diego Comic Con Q and A and Ryan’s King Conan response he got from Arnold during his recent book signing tour.
It’s looking like the efforts of the fans is at last paying off. Arnold is listening! During The Oak’s Total Recall book tour in France, he gave his fans around the world a surprise statement. He confirmed on a radio station in France that after “Ten” he would like to bring “King Conan” back!
"We've already had discussion about this, because it's a project that is particularly dear to me. I must first shoot 'Ten' with David Ayer, but then we're going to focus on 'Conan.' It remains to be seen who will direct and if we use the John Milius (Crown of Iron) script."
As we reported a couple weeks ago, Arnold and his co-star friends broke the King Conan news to Randy from TAFs. John Milius also gave us an exclusive hour-long interview about Conan and its future. You can read Arnold’s exact words along with his co-star and the Milius King Conan remarks within the all new book Arnold’s Army: A Schwarzenegger Uprising in the chapter titled Long Live The King.
Naturally, NOW is the perfect time for Arnold to reprise this role. At the end of the first two films, it shows him roughly at a 65-year-old, grey bearded and looking ballsy. Well, guess what, The Oak has matured!
It is funny that the studio can not yet settle on the title of this David Ayer movie, which starts filming in less than 2 weeks. For the last several months the project title changes on a daily basis and continues to alternate between Breacher, Ten or The Breacher. Are we now back to Ten? As long as Arnold’s next film title is King Conan: Crown of Iron, the fans and the gods will be pleased. Especially CROM!
