Where's Conan The Barbarian Hiding?
Looks like they may have found their guys, well at least narrowing them down.
Dimbort's departure would come as Millennium gets close to a production start on its biggest bet yet. That’s Conan, the rebirth of the Robert E. Howard-created barbarian famously played by Arnold Schwarzenegger. Director Marcus Nispel is on track to start production March 15 in Bulgaria — if they can find the right barbarian. Last weekend, it seemed like things came down to two buff finalists: Kellan Lutz (Emmett Cullen in the Twilight Saga sequels New Moon and Eclipse), and Jason Momoa (Ronon Dex in the TV series Stargate: Atlantis). Suddenly, Millennium and partner Lionsgate decided today to look at another unnamed but better established actor before deciding.
On the executive front, Dimbort would be tough to replace. While Lerner and his shaggy white head of hair is the front man, it's Dimbort’s presale skills that get the films funded. And while the Millennium mantle isn’t cluttered with Oscars, geez, do those guys makes a lot of pictures! They've averaged 15 or more in recent years, titles ranging from Rambo to Righteous Kill, Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans and The Expendables, the action film that Sly Stallone just directed and starred in with a testosterone-heavy cast of Jet Li, Jason Statham, Mickey Rourke, Dolph Lundgren and Eric Roberts.
