“Conan the Barbarian” the movie that launched Arnold Schwarzenegger to action hero stardom is getting a remake.
Slated for production in March 2010 huge Hollywood names battled it out for the leading role.

 

Candidates for the job?
Twilight Actor Kellan Lutz, Supernatural alumni Jared Padalecki and Stargate Atlantis cast member Jason Momoa.

 

So who’s the chosen one?

 


 

Director Marcus Nispel, the man behind Pathfinder and Fridaythe 13th (the remake) loved Jason Momoa’s audition. Nispel shot some trial scenes with Momoa yielding a sword and also got movie studio Lionsgate sold on the SciFi actor.

 

Jason Momoa, maybe best known for his role as a life guard in Baywatch, isn’t a stranger to action scenes either. His character in the science fiction hit Stargate Atlantis (“Ronon Dex”) was a moody alien warrior who played a part in nearly all big fights yielding all sorts of weaponry.

 

The movie reboot will be unleashed in theaters next year. Production will start in Europe, Bulgaria on March 15.

 

In the meantime have a look at the original 1982 movie trailer!
