Comments on: Marcus Nispel to direct new Conan movie http://www.moviechronicles.com/conan/conan-news/2009-06/marcus-nispel-to-direct-new-conan-movie/ Wed, 02 Mar 2011 13:22:02 +0000 hourly 1 By: hengfa http://www.moviechronicles.com/conan/conan-news/2009-06/marcus-nispel-to-direct-new-conan-movie/#comment-11781 hengfa Thu, 31 Dec 2009 21:05:25 +0000 http://www.moviechronicles.com/?p=2577#comment-11781 to this day I am not sure why this is so difficult to get. nobody really wants to see Nispel's 'vision' of Conan- it wasn't mr. nispel who created this character but a man who wrote amazing pulp fiction named Robert E. Howard. And it is that character that has kept the brand alive and sought after. That's whose vision should be represented. There isn't any need to do anything but follow the lead of LotR (minus weird elf tricks like sliding down a staircase on a shield) and take the Conan stories as Howard wrote them and put them on screen. They are MYTHIC, they are EPIC. This is like telling me there is a great Philly Cheesesteak joint in Alaska. They have made Conan a psychopath. If you want to do that stuff, make your own hero. This character and brand are sadly being gutted for a quick one off and this will end the brand in this medium, just like conan the destroyer did. at least milius film like it or hate it, was decently written even if they too missed a lot about what Conan was. But this script is horrendously bad, full of gaping plot holes and jumbling efforts at story telling- it's not that good. this pastiche nonsense needs to end- why would we see this movie that does not present real Conan? every fan and everyone who reads the stories all agree that when they read a Howard story, then a non Howard story, the Howard story trumps it! Even the authors who are trying to duplicate Howard say it, to a man. to this day I am not sure why this is so difficult to get. nobody really wants to see Nispel’s ‘vision’ of Conan– it wasn’t mr. nispel who created this character but a man who wrote amazing pulp fiction named Robert E. Howard. And it is that character that has kept the brand alive and sought after. That’s whose vision should be represented.
