As most of us involved in the fantasy roleplaying hobby, I have been watching the production of the newest Conan movie with a keen eye. It has been a roller coaster of excitement and then disappointment as each new tidbit of information about the movie has been revealed. Though I have tried to stay optimistic about the film, I have to admit, I have been feeling a little underwhelmed by the previews released so far. Then I saw the clip I have embedded below, and for the first time in a while, a spark of hope sprang up in my heart again. Maybe this is wishful thinking, but I am hoping this is a sign that the movie isn't a total wash...

Ok... I'm a little more hopeful now.
damn man! fuck what everyone else is bitching about. this movie is gonna be fun to watch.
Knowing we will never get a film that remains faithful to the source material, I will settle for a fun sword & sorcery romp.
Oh yeah! That's much better than the other trailer I've seen!
I've been looking forward to his since I had seen early pics and trailers.
The red band trailers are just making me happier and happier. He looks like Conan, he sounds Conan as I think of him from the books. The world looks suitably Hyborian. SO far I'm all over this one.
Yeah, um.. OK
That was officially bada$$.
I knew he'd still have the egg, though ;-)
Shane's right, though. We'll never have REH's Conan on screen. Just like they'll never do a true ERB Tarzan. (I do hold out hope for a "true to the spirit" John Carter, though.)
Okay, this is by far and away the best thing I've seen from the movie so far. I might watch it after all. Even if it isn't really Conan, it might be fun.
Okay, that was admittedly pretty impressive.
The presence of Ron Perlman improves the quality of any film by 1d10x10%.
