Quentin Tarantino Talks Making a Conan Movie

The story is called “Queen of the Black Coast.” In 2012, comic writer Brian Wood did his version of this story and it was phenomenal.

[@stevendavid8508]

The source of the best line from the first Schwarzenegger Conan ("If I were dead and you were still fighting for life, I'd come back from the darkness. Back from the pit of hell to fight at your side."), and the best line from the Mamoa Conan ("I live, I love, I slay, and I am content"). And one of the stories that reaffirms just how much needs to be changed for Conan to be successful in a modern film or show adaptation. (Unless of course one is going for an amoral Game of Thrones or Breaking Bad kind of feel.) Because in this story Conan is a literal pirate and viking, committing evil acts for his own gain. What most people seem to prefer is the idea of a character who is crude in manners, but with a strong moral core. This version of the character is present in most filmed versions of the tales (I can't speak for the comics), but not in the original tales themselves.

The first was more natural, the second too DnD. Both lack the mood and theme of the original material. But the first one had a much more structured theme and a more adult feel. What's for sure is that the score lifted the mood a lot. If anything, the Momoa version lacked a lot of that, along with the shitty script and edit.

I can relate to Quentin on this, everyone hates on Conan the Destroyer, but it was closer to the comics and the books, in the sense of the world having more of a real sense of magic and the Gods. Conan the Barbarian is a classic, of course, and probably my favorite because it's just a great movie overall, but Destroyer has more of the pulp fantasy feel that you would have had in a longer running series if they had gone that route and Arnold would have kept making them.

[@justaguy2365]

Funny coincidence, the Destroyer was written by the marvel comic writers

[@joek600]

CtD had more fantasy elements in, with creatures, effects etc. The problem is that those were the exact elements that could not be represented with the tech of the time and rendered the movie quite dated by today's standard. Milius movie on the other side except 2 specific scenes and the one might yet pass as charming (the inexplicable blue screen in the intro and the animated spirits ), ages like fine wine. Up until the point Lord of the Rings was out CtB was the best fantasy production ever.

Conan travelled from his native place to civilized countries for kicks. He's supposed to be out of place, struggle with the languages, be in disconcert with their cultures. He's physique is supposed to look grotesque. You have to cast some bodybuilder / strongman actor for that, preferably a foreigner. Someone like Thor Bjornsson would be good, if he could act.

[@Herofromspace2]

This is the kind of content he needs more of.

ya the Arnold Conan movie was amazing even though it wasn't like the original stories.. The spirit was still there

[@jdovma1]

Love the Milius movie. Definitely debatable whether it captured Howard's Conan, but still can't get enough of it. But that might be Basil Poledouris's doing. Might be the greatest score ever put to film. Or at least I'm gonna say it til it's considered true. I liked Momoa in the role in the new one. And I really liked Stephen Lang in his role. Not really sure how they dropped the ball on that one.

[@kforcer]

I think Milius's movie captured the essence of Robert E. Howard's mythos, but perhaps not Conan specifically. He was like an amalgam of various Howard figures. I'd say that Thulsa Doom, name aside, was a pretty spot-on portrayal of Thoth Amon though.

[@chadstone7468]

Because the momoa one was trying to be a remake instead of its own thing. That, and it's hard to live up to the original by milius

[@joek600]

I believe that Milius was better at being Howard than Howard. His version of Conan is actually better as a story, but practically he had to work around Arnold's innability to act and even speak english. I always said that Conan the Barbarian is an arthouse movie disguised as a sword and sorcery flick. And has some really good dialogue that really made the difference beween that movie and the flood of the barbarian themed rip-offs that came after. Momoa was actually really good in that glorified Xena production, and I cant stop thinking what if Milius had someone with the right physique but also the ability to act.

[@mattmardigan]

I agree that the Basil Poledouris score for Conan the Barbarian is the best film score start to finish that I’ve ever heard.

[@ZergS4uc3]

It is the only movie i can tell you exactly what is happening in the scene based on music alone, i am of the belief that conan the barbarian is the perfect movie, its not the best adaptation per say but it is a perfect movie. Id love to see a reboot closer to the books with say tarantino and rodriguez helming and joseph baena(arnolds son and spitting image) as conan, someone with the physicality of arnold but more able to articulate and is significantly younger so he could stay in the role alot longer

He sure did know; Joe Rogan is a huge Robert E. Howard fan. Quentin essentially admits here that he hasn't been reading Howard as long as Rogan. Looks like Tarantino knows the comics better--though he wrongly calls Gerry Conway the writer of the 70's Conan comics--and Rogan knows Howard himself a little better.

[@kforcer]

And for what it is worth, Quinton Tarantino forget Belit's name or the title of her introductory story, Queen of the Black Coast. Makes sense that Rogan might not know what he's talking about precisely there. But clearly, they're both legit fans.

[@hamuArt]

Conan was always entertaining when he had to fight intelligent dangerous people, and that's why the first film worked, especially because there was a working arc to the story. It was always predictably boring when he was slaying down mindless monsters. That's what D&D is for... What works in comics doesn't necessarily work in movies. Comics can exaggerate or circumvent a lot more things that can't be done in film.

[@kforcer]

Usually those intelligent people were trying to summon or control those seemingly mindless monsters. And of course, sometimes it was unclear if the monsters were mindless or avatars of dark gods and far smarter than we might be able to understand. Like that monster Thoth Amon summons in Hour of the Dragon, that thing was probably real smart in some strange way.

[@hamuArt]

@@kforcer In hard fantasy, a straight monster fight wouldn't work for me, even if it were a puppet. A monster is like a lion or an enraged grizzly. There wouldn't be a long fight on either side, because it's either the monster or Conan who kills the other immediately, there wouldn't be much tactics there, precisely because of the imbalances of power. (Look at Conan vs the big snake.) Think of it like the arena in Rome. You can watch someone trying to fight a lion. It won't be long and exciting, just bloody. Plus, I wouldn't see the human in a beast, which makes a life-and-death fight more palatable and don't looks like just an obstacle.

[@WalterWild-uu1td]

Howard had written many stories set in many different time periods and with different characters in the late 1920's. Cowboys, boxers, oil field workers, mercenaries. Conan was one of his last characters and the first story was published in December, 1932. He wrote all the Conan stories in the next three and a half years and committed suicide in June, 1936. The first published Conan story, "The Phoenix on the Sword" was a prior King Kull story which was never published titled "By This Ax I Rule." That story was actually rewritten by Howard. The later pastiche writers, primarily L. Sprague de Camp and Lin Howard took some notes Howard had left turned them into stories. Then they took a lot of the other characters Howard had written, renamed the primary character and turned them into Conan stories. One character was a Spanish Crusader, another was an Arab adventurer in what is now Iran, one was an American mercenary in Africa.

To do a script you'd only need one Robert E.Howard story combined with two separate comic stories. Combine them into a plot with two subplots. I'd hire Taylor James as Conan instantly.

I think the only real option is to reboot conan with arnolds son, Joseph Baena, hes a spitting image of him but with the correct book accurate features, would love to see tarantino and rodriguez do those movies, cameron and rodriguez did amazing work with the alita adaptation imagine people who love the property getting free reign, we'd be in a fantasy golden age once again

[@loweegee7876]

It would be difficult to do a true Robert Howard Conan series. Each short story was written as standalone, so no matter what there would have to be some liberties taken with the timeline of Conan’s life

[@chainedshadow]

It is not that difficult, you just copy what was written and transfer it to live action, each episode of the series would be a story, almost without dialogue and keeping the narration and music the same as the first film, some stories last longer so it is divided . in two episodes, and other stories that last less time you can add things to them, maybe some extra scenes or extra characters from a single appearance but they look good and do not affect the story

[@parapoliticos52]

There can't be another Conan movie cause there won't be another Poledouris

[@kforcer]

Great point.

[@bigisland48]

I wanted that Sgt. Rock movie Quentin was in the talks to make

[@ge0metr1xx]

Keep Tarantino away from Robert E Howard material. Keep far far away. Its clear he doesnt know shit about the original stories. Those are masterpieces

[@Vahe345]

The Savage Sword of Conan

[@iconocast]

a true conan story would be fing amazing

[@Dr.Music77]

Not me thinking that were talking about a Conan O'Brien Movie 😂

[@flashgordo9485]

Hand me my sword. It's the one that says BMF on it.

[@morawa1987]

Joe voice sounds like crackling ice on a lake :)

[@himynameisfeli]

Oh, not Conan O'Brien. Forget it.

[@WalterWild-uu1td]

The should do "Red Nails" I love that story.

[@tom2gunzbombadil689]

Arnold was great.. cool movie

[@williamsisk6707]

Fuck. Wasn’t expecting the Robert E. Howard drop. The nod to Roy Thomas, Gerry Conway etc. I agree though, no one has approached this right. And if they did it today it would be big and flashy like all that other bullshit out there (i.e. marvel movies). Conan is brooding, dark, atmospheric and bleak. And existing and surviving and making a way through the world despite that. And what studio would agree to a concept like that? Jesus, what I rant I’ve posted…

[@jamesreid91]

We are missing the most important Conan movie , Conan the Conquer

[@marcussmith4913]

yes please make these movies quentin

[@yorimoriarty4684]

I can’t believe Tarantino just said the kid in the movie did a great job , he is Jorge Sanz , one of the most known Spanish actors in the 80s and 90s. Now he is broke , drunk and almost homeless.

[@Henler99]

I think he meant the kid from the 2011 version of Conan

[@MB-oc1nw]

He knows his Marvel Conan comics...I think the female pirate leader he's talking about is Belit

[@nomox]

The boy was a Spanish actor called Jorge Sanz.

[@locksand45]

I always thought the 1st Schwarzenegger one was classic. It stands up even now except for the special effects

[@anzaeria]

I think some of the special effects still hold up well.....like the witch turning into a fireball and soaring off into the night.

[@ToyFiend]

I just saw it at the amc. The giant snake scene holds up great. Some fantastic practical effects.

[@WalterWild-uu1td]

The one problem with the first Arnold Conan movie, when discussing the Robert E Howard "Lore" is the depiction of him being an enslaved child and then this owned gladiator character. In Howard's stories there was one thing that Conan NEVER was. He was never a "slave." Never. He was a captive and imprisoned several times but never a slave. And the only "lore" you get about his youth was he grew up in Cimmeria. His father was the village blacksmith, his mother was pregnant but was wounded trying to save her husband. She gave birth to Conan and then died. No other information about Conan emerges until at the age of fifteen, already a warrior of some note, went over the walls of an Aquilonian outpost of Venarium and participated in sacking it. Years later in Howard's first published Conan story, "The Phoenix on the Sword," Conan is already King of Aquilonia, some 20+ years later, because he is already in his 40's.

[@AuspexAO]

Ehhhh...I've never met anyone like Conan in real life. Conan is king material. He's a brutal killer on the battlefield but also cunning and tactical. He's intelligent and worldly, possessing the knowledge of many cultures and the ability to blend into or subjugate groups such as pirates, bandits, and tribals in whatever way suits his goals. Jason Mamoa seems like the nicest damned guy on the planet and everytime he opens his mouth he makes me think of him less as a badass and more as someone who I'd like to go camping with or call up for a game of pool. I don't know if the guy is smart or not, but I know he's no more "cunning" than John Candy. Arnold is the same way. He's quick to laugh and slow to anger. The guy is a real party animal and just wants to eat, smoke weed, and get laid in all the commentaries you hear him on. You need someone who looks like Mamoa, but acts sort of like Daniel Craig in Casino Royale. He's a steely-eyed murderer with a quick mind and a way with stealth and politics. The reason people like that usually don't exist is that it takes a lot of time to cultivate all those skills and abilities and most human beings just don't have the time to be that well-rounded, lol.

[@joek600]

Sounds like a job for a buffed up young Mads Mikkelsen

[@WickedScott]

This feels like Joe tying to do inception on Quentin. I hope it works.

[@sumuqh]

Joe is clueless + Promoting Jason Momoa to QT = mess 🤣

[@jootai]

Well now that he stopped his talkshow he would be up for it for sure!
