...Although Arnold needed to walk away from the project, Milius understands Arnold's decision and knows he will make a great Governor. One hour after Arnold announced his decision to run on the Jay Leno Show, Arnold phoned Milius and said he was sorry that King Conan would not happen. Once again, Milius was invited over to the Schwarzenegger's for dinner. Despite the project collapsing, the two remain good friends.So now Milius needs to find a replacement. I asked about Ralf Moeller, TV's Conan. Apparently they like the guy for his size but instead think the wrestler “Triple H” MIGHT be a better and grittier fit. They also like his acting and believe he is the perfect age to show the transition from a younger Conan (flashbacks) and could also play the gray-bearded Conan.Milius and Triple H are getting along great already. The two are working on a new kick-ass action movie called "Journey of the Deadman"....Milius is anxious to get the project going again and to continue the Conan mythology of kings, wizards and women of the finest stalk. He wants to film in Turkey and Ron Cobb and Basil Poledouris are anxious also to return....

for those who keep track of such things, the flick already has its own IMDB entry.
oh yeah, and for those who don't know, Triple H is a top WWF/WWE guy named Jean Paul Levesque who has had a bit of (alleged) steroid problem. One wonders if he's gunna tear another quad during the filming.

One of the rumoured side-effects of steroid use is a weakening of the connective tissue. For example, the kind that holds muscles(like, say, quadraceps) to the skeletal structure...

this actually makes me kind of sad!
the closing image of conan, beardy arnold sitting on a throne looking bored, "destined to wear the crown of aquilonia upon a troubled browww" (dorky i know to say so, but HOW PRESCIENT IS THAT??) is a window into a kind of movie that could never exist: a fantasy actioner about being old, tired, bored, and overworked (nb i've never read any of the books abt conan's late life -- were they even being written by howard at that point? -- and i doubt they were lion-in-wintery at all anyway).
