IGN has the new trailer for Jason Momoa’s debut as Crom’s finest son. And it’s red band, which means there’s blood. A decent amount, and a few rippings of flesh. Game of Thrones has made me a fan (with reservations) of the man as an ass kicker but Conan the Barbarian is a much bigger test. The dialogue here is all gutteral and rote, but it’s a Conan film. What isn’t excusable is the music the trailer is cut to, some screamo [I think I lose track of what shitty music should be attributed to what shitty genre] tune that rips off “Crazy Train”. Somehow cutting Clash of the Titans to rock music worked and this doesn’t. I dunno.
Regardless, it’s Friday and a trailer featuring men hewn in pieces might be just what the witch doctor ordered. Behold!

I see tit-tays! I thought they were shooting for a PG-13 for this one?
I’d take a look at it except for the Goddamed 30 sec commercial before it.
Nick Nunziata, The trailer for, Conan is…Epic! I cannot wait to see Conan this August!
You’re right that music is execrable, Crazy train/cookie monster. The dialog worries me almost as much though. It just sounds to casual and modern to me. The visuals don’t look too bad though.
That doesnt look too shabby! Ttiities you say? Missed em.
By Crom someone need to sink up the original soundtrack to this trailer and it would improve 100%. Also, its not the actor that worries me its the director.
I think I’ll go watch Arnie’s Conan now.
It looks like someone gets the golden crown treatment somewhere in there, a la Viserys. That’s just wonderful.
Nope, the director (and I think Jason Momoa may have tweeted something as well) was quick to hop online after the first full trailer appeared to assure people that they were not trying to cut this down to a PG-13.
It’s the girl on the wheel getting tortured looks like.
Head stab!
“cookie monster”? It’s just asshole radio rock. I think your ears are a little timid, it is definitely garbage, but hardly “cookie monster.”
I think I’ll watch the O Brien type.
Oh and yes I love the first Arnie film soundtrack.
I’d rather have the Poledouris score, but really no one recognized Hollywood Undead??
