Bosco685 Posted February 9, 2018 Author Share Posted February 9, 2018 Belit. Red Sonja. Anneka. Although with the Red Sonja rumored movie in production, not sure they can be intermixed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would love to see this, but I personally don't think they'll have the balls to adapt Red Nails or Frost Giant's Daughter without neutering it a bit given the sexual overtones mixed with graphic violence. Then again, we did get Starz Spartacus so you never know. jimjum12 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artboy99 Posted February 14, 2019 Share Posted February 14, 2019 On 2018/02/06 at 3:35 PM, the blob said: One problem with Conan is that there aren't that many characters. Maybe in the last half of the comic run there were some more supporting characters, but in the first 100 or so issues you have Red Sonja and Belit. Conan beheading some monster every episode may get boring if he has nobody to share his adventures with. It is true, but Conan has always worked best when he is solo in my opinion. As to a cast of supporting characters, the only time I liked it in movies/TV was in the first Arnold movie because it was well written. jimjum12, Jordysnordy and STORMSHADOW_80 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They may need to be a little less sexist/damsel in distress or suffer some backlash. ComicConnoisseur 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bosco685 Posted September 30, 2020 Author Share Posted September 30, 2020 From Amazon to Netflix Quote EXCLUSIVE: Netflix has put in development an epic live-action series based on Conan, the iconic sword-and-sorcery character created by writer Robert E. Howard, I have learned. I hear the project, from Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler’s Pathfinder Media, is the first in a deal between Netflix and Conan Properties International, owned by Malmberg’s Cabinet Entertainment. The pact gives Netflix the exclusive option to acquire rights to the Conan literary library and develop works across TV and film, both live-action and animated. The move would fit into Netflix’s strategy of acquiring globally recognizable IP to build an universe of films and TV series, including Roald Dahl’s novels, The Chronicles of Narnia books and comics publisher Millarworld. A search is currently underway for a writer/showrunner to pen the Conan adaptation and director to helm the project. Malmberg and Wheeler will serve as executive producers on the potential series through their Pathfinder Media.

Jordysnordy Posted October 1, 2020 Share Posted October 1, 2020 VERY excited for this with Conan being my favourite comic character. During lockdown I had plenty of free time and was able to re-read Conan 1-275 and SSOC 1-235. If done properly, they have lots of great story lines they can use. And as @Artboy99 said, Conan does work better solo. But Conan does have a great supporting cast with Belit, Zulu, Valeria and Red Sonja among others that I would love to see in the series as occasional guest stars.

Montreal is going back into the Red Zone at midnight tonight - meaning bars, restaurants, movie theaters and museums are closed. Restaurants can do take out. No visitors to your home for 28 days and other restrictions. People around here can't follow the rules thus the semi lockdown - ugh piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I believe another lock down will happen here in Alberta as well, but it still means I work 5 days a week ( essential service ). piper 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have a CIBC in the building that I work in and that branch was closed from the end of March until about 2 weeks ago. They are now open but they have coupled with another branch and the staff rotate between branches every 2 weeks. One staff works 2 weeks at 1 of the branches while the other branch is closed and 1 branch’s staff is off. Their thinking is not to get an entire branch infected thus having to close both branches. Strange as no other banks have been doing this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Multiple branches closed and all the staff work in rotating shifts at the few that remained open Slowly they have all reopened. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
