While at the premiere of the
low-budget zombie-drama film Maggie at the Tribeca Film Festival, Arnold Schwarzenegger offered an update on
the status of the sequel to his 1984 Conan the Destroyer, The Legend Of Conan.
They want to film it in the
fall. I don’t know if I will then have the time to film it, but we will
sort that out within the next month or two. I can tell you is that
it’s unbelievably well written. They’re still tweaking the end but it’s
going to be very very powerful. What’s important on this project is they don’t
look at it like, ‘Oh this is kind of a sword movie, where they just kill
each other, and let’s write it off as a b-action movie.’ They treat it as like,
‘This is a very important movie for us, and we want to make a lot of money with
this, it has to be the best quality.’ So the way they treat it is different
than in the old days. Now, they see that it is one of those event movies that
can come out in the summer and they treat it totally differently.
As for the rumor that it will
be a trilogy, Schwarzenegger doesn't
seem convinced that is the way to go.
I never heard that, no. Even though that is a popular
thing to do: ‘Why don’t we just shoot all 12 movies together! Let’s just go on
the set now and stay there for the next 18 years!’
