Conan the Thrusting

Teaser image for Conan

There's a new teaser poster out now for Conan, a relaunch of the fantasy conqueror franchise that Arnold Schwarzenegger rode to fame. Comingsoon.net has the poster, as well as the statement from Millennium Films that the new movie will be closer to Robert E. Howard's actual stories than Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer ever were.

Still, it's hard to imagine a new Conan movie topping this:

"Conan, what is best in life?"
"To crush your enemies, to see them driven before you, and to hear the lamentations of the women."

With any luck, this also means we'll eventually get a new Red Sonja. What woman in Hollywood today is as imposingly badass as Brigitte Nielsen used to be? It's hard to say. Perhaps that's why they have such a hard time casting a Wonder Woman movie, too.

Any suggestions?
