There’s a new Conan film in the works, and it’s possible the studio has found its new Conan - the closest possible thing to Arnold Schwarzenegger without being Arnold Schwarzenegger. His name is Roland Kickinger and he’s got a rather interesting resume. He plays a Terminator in the latest film in the series Terminator: Salvation, he is an Austrian native and bodybuilder, and he actually played Arnold in See Arnold Run. It goes without say he looks like Arnold too. Talking about on the nose casting.
There’s no word as to whether the new and as-yet-untitled Conan film is a reboot, a sequel to the two from the 1980s or even a film version of one of Robert E. Howard’s novels – only that it’s in pre-production with a hopeful release in 2010.

But can he act?
ReplyDeleteI'd love for them to cast someone who has some personality, charisma and some basic acting talent, as opposed to just some slab of meat.
I'd like that too, but no idea if he can act...
