    It's been more than 30 years since Arnold Schwarzenegger graced the screen as Conan the Barbarian, but "The Legend of Conan," a follow-up to his 1982 and 1984 cult classics, is coming!

    The film's writer, Chris Morgan, spoke to a Schwarzenegger fan site and spilled details of the movie that has die-hard fans full of excitement.

    "Our tone is a logical extension of the character established in the ’82 film ... but 30 years later. When we meet him again, Conan has been many things over the course of his life -- a thief, a warrior, a pirate, a king, a legend -- and is now an older man. Think 'Unforgiven' ... with a sword-wielding barbarian," Morgan told TheArnoldFans.com.Morgan also spoke about following in the footsteps of the original director, John Milius.

    "The goal, the dream, is to live up to his world. To make it worthy. And to expand on it in a truthful way that audiences will embrace. ... We plan nothing more than to immerse ourselves in the world Milius envisioned from Robert E. Howard’s unforgettable stories and Frank Frazetta’s stunning artwork. I can’t give specifics (nobody likes a spoiler!), but know we are honoring the locales, the religions and the traditions of the ’82 film," he said.

    He added that "at least three" big names from original cast are coming back for this one.

    Schwarzenegger, himself, shared a message with the site, saying, "It is the greatest honor to be 67 years old and to still be asked to come back into all those franchises."

    "Whether it is the Terminator movie or it is now Conan, it is fantastic! As a matter of fact, when I get back to Los Angeles, I'll be getting the final script and then I will see it for the first time," he said. "But with Universal Pictures, I've tried to convince them now for 20 years to go back and continue with the Conan series and they were not as enthusiastic as I was. But then later, new management came in at Universal and they saw it entirely differently. They came to me right away and said they want to pick up the Conan series and to look at some writers and let's get going on that. So we've been working on Conan and I'm really excited to be working on this -- to do another Conan movie and hopefully it will be soon!"

    Dang, I bet all those old guys & gal (anyone seen Sandahl Bergman since 1982? I bet instead of a catering company, they'll keep a table full of HRT & hGH readily available on the set during filming. Will they all travel by horse or Hoveround?

    Actually, she died off in the original. Just about everyone else has too...

    Exclusive: Conan Script is Ready & Arnold Reteams with Barbarian Cast in The Legend of Conan!

    By Randy Jennings

    While it is an exciting time for Arnold fans with Terminator Genisys on the rise, let’s not forget that Schwarzenegger’s next film project is “what is best in life”! As if we weren’t already pumped enough for The Legend of Conan, we have new word from Chris Morgan, the film’s producer/co-writer, and Fredrik Malmberg telling us the greatest Schwarzenegger cinematic experience is yet to come!

    While these gentlemen are fans of Robert E. Howard’s Conan tales, the goal here for The Legend of Conan is to revisit the barbaric world of John Milius. This will not be a reboot nor will it be given a tame film rating, unbefitting of a bitter, barbaric king. The Legend of Conan will in fact be a sequel to Conan the Barbarian, giving us Arnold’s character 30 years later: aged, pissed and battle ready.

    TheArnoldFans: Can you tell us a little about the tone of this film? Some of your projects (Fast and the Furious films) have been very entertaining, action-heavy, popcorn films. Do you feel there is room for a light-hearted Conan, or is the goal here a tone to be more gritty, dark and Oscar-worthy, like Gladiator?

    Chris Morgan: A light-hearted Conan?! CROM! No. Our tone is a logical extension of the character established in the ’82 film…but 30 years later. When we meet him again, Conan has been many things over the course of his life — a thief, a warrior, a pirate, a king, a legend — and is now an older man. Think Unforgiven…with a sword-wielding barbarian.

    Think Unforgiven…with a sword-wielding barbarian.

    TheArnoldFans: Is it difficult to step into the mindset of John Milius’s Cimmerian world? If you’re aiming for a Milius-inspired script, what types of imagery, animals, cultures and sounds are necessary?

    Morgan: Milius was a visionary. And a hero of mine. He established a milieu that is stunning and violent and clear — incomparable. The goal, the dream, is to live up to his world. To make it worthy. And to expand on it in a truthful way that audiences will embrace. We’re very lucky that the architects of this new film — the writer, the producers, the studio and most of all, Arnold — who is Conan — are all first-generation fans who either worked on the film or who came along for the ride, cheering from their theater seats opening night. We plan nothing more than to immerse ourselves in the world Milius envisioned from Robert E. Howard’s unforgettable stories and Frank Frazetta’s stunning artwork. I can’t give specifics (nobody likes a spoiler!), but know we are honoring the locales, the religions and the traditions of the ’82 film.

    TheArnoldFans: I’m sure there must be several characters from the original Conan film coming back. Roughly how many characters are coming back in your Conan script (without naming names)?

    Morgan: Without naming names…it’s at least three. And you’re gonna love them!

    We have no idea who these other three cast members are to reteam with Conan but here are a few we could imagine: The Wolf Witch (Cassandra Gave), Subatai (Gerry Lopez), Red Hair and the Pictish scout (Franco Columbu)! Sure, The Wolf Witch was tossed into the fire, however, her spirit flew away, possibly entering another form? Or what if Conan decides to free all of the slave children from Red Hair’s Wheel of Pain? Or will Schwarzenegger come face-to-face with Franco Columbu’s character, the very scout who led Doom’s riders to slaughter Conan’s family? I pray to Crom that Subatai will run across the sand dunes to Conan’s aid.

    Next we chatted with The Legend of Conan producer, Fredrik Malmberg, who tells us he wants to get this project going this year and that the film will look spectacular!

    TheArnoldFans: Have you considered any new locations for filming Conan in addition to Spain?

    Malmberg: We have been assaulted by film commissioners from all around the world who want Conan to be shot there! At the end of the day, it’s a combination of cool scenery and economics. We have visited Spain and it’s a very versatile landscape and has great crews. We also visited Colombia, and Universal has experience shooting all around the world, so rest assured it will look spectacular.

    TheArnoldFans: With Arnold fans, Conan remains the top fan-favorite film for Arnold to do next. Why do you feel a character of so few words and showing maximum brutality is such a beloved character? And will Conan be as blood-thirsty as the original 1982 film, or has he become even more (or less) brutal?

    Malmberg: Our marching orders from the studio were to create a film worthy as a successor to the 1982 film, which was pretty brutal. To Conan it’s not about fancy sword moves; it’s about the fastest and most effective way of disposing of your enemy. A dance of death, maybe, at least primal. In my opinion, Conan is beloved because of his political incorrectness. He doesn’t think, he just acts. People can relate to the freshness of somebody who doesn’t give a damn about civilization — in fact, despises it. At the same time he is a magnificent fighter, leader and friend.

    TheArnoldFans: Is the goal to begin production of The Legend of Conan immediately following Arnold’s Terminator Genisys worldwide tour this year?

    Malmberg: I think this fall would be perfect. The sooner the better!

    Malmberg also tells us they just turned in the script to Universal Studios and they’re super excited about it. Schwarzenegger himself has been told by the studio how fantastic The Legend of Conan script is and he is pumped to return!

    "It is the greatest honor to be 67 years old and to still be asked to come back into all those franchises,” Arnold tells TheArnoldFans. "Whether it is the Terminator movie or it is now Conan, it is fantastic! As a matter of fact, when I get back to Los Angeles, i'll be getting the final script and then I will see it for the first time. But with Universal Pictures, I've tried to convince them now for 20 years to go back and continue with the Conan series and they were not as enthusiastic as I was. But then later, new management came in at Universal and they saw it entirely differently. They came to me right away and said they want to pick up the Conan series and to look at some writers and let's get going on that. So we've been working on Conan and I'm really excited to be working on this - to do another Conan movie and hopefully it will be soon!"

    Prepare yourselves, Conan and Schwarzenegger fans! Get ready to kneel before greatness. Long live the Milius ‘80s. Long live the barbaric and bloody Arnold epics. Long live the KING!

    Conan the Barbarian is still one of my favorite movies of all time. The remake that came out several years ago... I just pretend that it doesn't really exist. I'm optimistic about this sequel, and also a bit afraid; Hollywood has changed much since then, not mostly for the better.

    Ha! Same here. That would actually be a decent conversation starter.

    "Yeah, Arnold's banging my housekeeper."
