TheArnoldFans.com has heard from a very good “inside source” that Conan director,
John Milius, is convinced "King Conan: Crown of iron" is moving forward!
Following our online petition (generating over 10,000 + signatures demanding Milius
reunite with Arnold), it is rumored that WB and the boys at Paradox Group have
given in to the fans' demands. John Milius, preparing for the final day
when King Conan gets the greenlight, is said to be looking at some pumped-up
actors to play big barbarian roles.
Not only will Arnold Schwarzenegger be back to play our favorite barbarian,
who swings a giant ax more often than a sword, but more massive movie muscle
is surfacing!
First up, who will play Alba Metallus Fortunas, Conan's commander and
tyrannical Emperor? Sean Connery, who else? It is said Milius wants Connery,
who is no stranger to working with the film director/ writer. Years ago,
when Sean Connery was first offered the role in “The Hunt for Red October”,
he agreed on one condition; John Milius write all of his lines.

There’s more! What of our last report that Milius had considered Triple H for
the role of Kon? No more! He is now said to be offered another role playing
Felexio, Kon's biggest adversary. We hear that Triple H is so excited
about being considered for this role that he's telling all of his friends
and telling his fans to sign the King Conan petition!

Let us not forget the female warrior Carnifexia (The butcher). In the script,
this brunette Amazon killer is as powerful as a man and shows as much pity
as a pre-menstruating Terminator. We're not much of wrestling fans here but
it is impossible NOT to imagine the wrestler formally known as Chyna in this role.
I've imagined her fore years playing Carnifexia and apparently Milius has too.
She is the PERFECT cast. It is said Chyna is up for the role and that she has
been interviewed by Milius about the part.

You've heard it here first Arnold fans, three juicy co-star roles are already
filled. Now if only the Wachowski brothers can commit to their roles as producers...
but that was another story.
