Conan the Barbarian (2011) – 3 minute clip of Conan’s first slaying
The clip and trailer look interesting. It seems that there is a different take on the origin story in this movie than the original movie staring Arnold Schwarzenegger–at least from the material that has been released so far. I wish Jason Momoa good luck in the role of Conan; however, Arnold has become so identified with the role of Conan, I hope Momoa can overcome the comparisons between the two actors that are sure to be made when the film is released.
