Conan - Part 1

[co2]

I mentioned this movie to my buddy, an 80's action movie fanatic, he he had no clue who Conan was. I was shocked! I don't know how that happened!

Two fisted sword fighting? Bring it.

 

[Shon]

I meant in relation to the Mummy 3 comparison.

And Mummy wasn't that bad, it was corny in bits, but in the way that a monster movie should be. Would you reather a gritty, reboot of the Mummy story, where we can really get BEHIND the Mummy, find out what makes him tick? :P

Had so much potential and the camp ruined it.

Be on the lookout for a clip of the film in Chelsea Lately tonight, as Rose McGowan will be a guest.

 

[MARVEL ROCKS]

The posters for this movie have been awesome. Too bad the trailers haven't been that good......

 

[ChickenScratch]

The trailers have not really showed much at all. That poster is pretty good because I can place sorta where in the story it would happen ... if they decided to stop and take a picture mid-battle.

Momoa is a pure bad ass

The time Conan asked his friend to break his nose. And he did!

Jason Momoa: “I wanted to have my nose broken for this role but wasn’t sure how to accomplish it. I was like, Dude, I have this idea. I think you should break my nose. Would you do it? My buddy just did it right away, damn it. After it was over, I said, ‘Dude, didn’t you want to think about it for a minute?’ But we’re guys and he said, ‘You don’t have to ask me twice. Done deal.' Just please don’t tell my wife about it"

Conan Almost Died

Jason Momoa: Oh, I almost died on the horse a few times. Once, the horse’s feet went out underneath him and I slid off his neck. When the horse fell, his butt almost crushed me but missed me by a narrow margin. I was also bucked off and broke a rib. You heard about my broken nose. Don’t tell my wife. There were also mornings where I had to crawl out of bed because my body was hurting so bad. So, I’d just put some Epsom salts in my tub and sit there. Then I’d go back to the set and do a few more stunts, knowing that if something really happened to me, I’d be ... word deleted.

Conan being Conan

Jason Momoa: “I did refuse any makeup. Someone wanted to put powder on me and I said, ‘Are you nuts? I’m a barbarian.’”

Getting the role of Conan

Jason Momoa:I was cast because I do “Game of Thrones” and the film had a mutual casting director who knew my work. He said, "This kid is our new Conan.” Actually, being cast as Conan wasn’t a nail-biting thing. Getting the HBO series was the nail-biter because I had to wait to find out, plus they didn’t want to cast out of America.

Bulking up for Conan

Jason Momoa: I did a lot of weight training to transform my body. In the end, I put on about 35 pounds for both “Conan” and “Thrones.” It was fun to put on just weight for “Thrones.” I ate pizza and drank Guinness. On “Conan,” I had to put on muscle, which was tough. I had to eat lean protein and keep a crazy level of training up.​

I very quickly read the interview Mamoa did for Empire magazine when i was round the shop this morning, couldn't afford to buy it, what i recall....

- He was never a model, he bs-ed his way into the Baywatch audition and job by getting a pal to take photos of him, and claimed they were a photoshoot for some big fashion house.

- He was noticed by one of the Conan casting agents during his audition for Game of Thrones, who then told nispell 'I've found your Conan.'

- When in one of the auditions for Conan, they asked him why he should be Conan, and he told them of an incident in 2008 where a kid in a bar put a pint glass in his face , requiring stitches, he related how livid he was when the kid winked over at him during the court case.

- He said that he is familiar with the REH works, and the comics, but has not watched the Arnie film yet, as he wants to see his own film first.
