Also in 2013, Arnold may begin filming “The Legend of Conan” later in the year. The HeroComplex spoke with screenwriter-producer Chris Morgan, who gave reason to WHY Arnold wants to star in the film.
Morgan – whose screenwriting credits include the last four “Fast & the Furious” sequels and the hit 2008 Angelina Jolie thriller “Wanted” – convinced Schwarzenegger to sign on to the upcoming “The Legend of Conan” by framing the project as the pop cultural equivalent to catching up with an old friend: “Not a reboot, not a remake. Just an update. Where has the character been all this time? A catch-up with Conan.”
"He has to access the barbarian he was in his youth. I love that Conan has been many things in his life, notably a pirate, a major tactician and a commander of men. In this movie, we’re going to tap into some of those things – things you haven’t seen on screen yet.”
