So we’ve gotten plenty of posters, stills, teasers, and trailers to kind of get the measure of this new Conan film, and I think it’s safe to say that there’s not much to say. Clearly the film has scale, but many films appear to have scale and end up being crammed with CGI bloat rather than valuable texture. It looks expensive, but how good of an idea is that for this kind of film in this day and age? Will audiences take to the Barbarian? They didn’t really give a shit about a Persian…
Personally, I feel there was a sparseness to the original Conan that I do miss here, and I must say that Jason Mamoa is not as absurdly built as I feel a barbarian should be, but otherwise I’ve got a pretty much “wait and see” attitude. Too many movies that looked good or had my anticipation senses riled up have been disappointments this year for me to possibly expend energy looking forward to Conan. Lang could be fun, but that ain’t enough. Perlman will be cool, but he won’t be in it enough.
Regardless, a new trailer has emerged on Facebook, and you can click over there to have a look. This UK trailer is definitely full of new peeks at this interpretation of the Conanverse, so have a look and let me know if you give even the slightest of shit about the film. Do so on twitter, in the comments, or on the boards– whatever suits your burly fantasy…
Thanks to Brian H. who is always rock and roll.
Watch this traileeeeeeeer!
