Arnold Schwarzenegger har kunnat återvända till actiongenren efter sin politiska karriär och har till och med återvänt till Terminator-franchisen. Men om det är något som den före detta guvernören inte är helt nöjd med är saknaden på fler Conan-filmer med honom i titelrollen och nu förklarar han via en intervju med The Arnold Fans att den beryktade Conan-uppföljaren - som gestaltar en grå barbarkung - dröjer på grund av rättighetsskäl:
"When it comes to the movie, the sad stuff about all of this is when there's an estate like this...The Robert E. Howard estate...when someone buys these rights, those people now own the rights and they have their own vision of what they want to do and the guy that has the rights is some young guy and he's trying to figure out how to get his way through Hollywood and this is not easy to do... So there are people that say to him, 'Why don't you start with a TV series?' and then he negotiates for a TV series and that falls apart. And then he goes maybe to Netflix and that falls apart. Then he decides to make a movie maybe."
Han fortsätter:
"We have been trying to convince [the rights holder] for years now that the way to go is to come back and hire a really great director and to do another Conan movie and have me play King Conan, when Conan is like 70 years old and he's disgusted by sitting on the throne and being the king and then something happens after that. It's really not that far from creating a finished script. The only one who really has to pull the trigger there is the people who own the Conan rights to do a movie. Let's go to Netflix or whoever it is, let's hire a director who's very creative and can elevate the project to make it a winning project."
Den senaste Conan Barbaren-filmen var en reboot med Jason Momoa, men den lockade varken publik eller kritiker. Tiden får helt enkelt utvisa om det är dags för ännu en Arnold-barbar. Vill du se en Conan-uppföljare med gamle Arnold igen?
ABADAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!
