They could do four seasons with some Vikings-esque time jumps.
There are enough Robert E Howard stories that they could almost adapt them all into something like Game of Thrones or Black Sails on a major cable network. If they take the Dark Horse approach they could even craft some interesting story arcs by expanding upon the novellas. Queen of the Black Coast and Beyond the Black River are especially right up there with the best of anything in Game of Thrones in terms of action and emotion.
I'd say little chance of that happening. Universal has no interest in that movie.I personally aint interested in tv series, not unless again Arnold is reprising his role and playing King Conan and series is about that. So we instead of possible 2h movie, we get 8-10h material storyline to wrap his story.
Maybe even introduce Conan son, or maybe cast joseph baena for that role if he has interest in acting like his father. I dont know.
Who would you like to play Bêlit, the pirate queen of the Black Coast?
A lot of money spent on the 2011 movie was wasted on unnecessarily lavish sets and CGI. You could adapt "Beyond the Thunder River" for a meagre budget.
I believe you mean Beyond The Black River. And yeah, pretty much imagine the Neil Marshal film Centurion but with some night-demons and giant snakes making an appearance in some scenes and you got that Conan story basically.
