If you do not know, Warner Brothers are looking at reviving the Conan franchise. This means they will not only be making a new Conan movie, but following it up with back end sales (marketing speak for future products/productions/movies).
Today a fan contact me with some interesting thoughts....
Here is his message:
From:
Rubusthebarbarian
hi!
I saw your video and have to admit that I am quite impressed!
There's been a talk in the www.conan.com forum about the new Conan
movie and your name has been mentioned by some of us fans, as a
possible candidate for the role of Conan! What are your thoughts on the
matter? From the look of your nickname in youtube, I imagine that you
are also a Conan fan...? If so, get your agents working on it! Me and
some others would be very happy to see you play Conan on the big
screen! :D
Thanks for your time! ;)
My Quick reply:
Hi Rubus,
Yes I have read all the original Conan books several times but my 'name' came from this:
Where did the name Conan come from?
If you don't mind I want to publish your question on my blog and then I
will answer it there - I will message you once I do this as I think it
would be a good story - and answer others questions on the same. Thanks
:)
Acting in the new Conan movie... what do you think?
Personally I would love it... even if I did not get the part of Conan I am certain that there would be parts that would be eminently suitable for me. After all it was seeing Arnold in Conan The Destroyer that got me started in the gym 2 days later. I could not wait to look like Arnold.
As a professional action actor my goal is to get my 'own' Hollywood movies i.e.' A' grade movies with me as the star and not 'just' a main.
The Sword and Sorcery and Science Fiction are the two areas I am personally most interested in (I have read all of Isaac Asimov's works), the other area of great promise for me is the Super Hero movies and of course Horror movies.
Unfortunately all the acting agents I currently have are lazy. They sit on their backsides and if a call comes in for a very big guy they then call me. None of them can think for themselves. Like what if I got off my ass and introduced this guy to the local studios as the Star from Australia? Think that would make them some money?
If I go in unannounced I am treated as an unwelcome pest, if they had the brains to introduce me properly then I would be more than a welcome guest, I would be whatever I was introduced as. Even though I have pointed this out to agents in 2 countries now, only one of them got it, actually she said it to me... unfortunately she left the business as Australia did not have enough acting work to support her, and the situation was getting worse - which is why I left Australia.
Any acting agents out there who would actually like to manage me? Please contact me I am very willing to talk and I am willing to negotiate a more than reasonable return for your efforts.
My current goal is exposure, money will follow.
I want the F to stop wasting my talent dealing with short sighted, small minded people who are focus on scrapping a few dollars into their pockets today. I want my chance to shine.
Basically YES..
I would love the chance to act in the new Conan movie, just the chance is all I need
Sooner or later it will happen. How do I know this?
Because I am making it happen.
Even if I just got an audition for the new Conan movie then I would definitely get a role, if not as Conan then in a role good enough to launch my Hollywood career.
I wrote Bangkok Adrenaline, I am helping with Production, I am meeting sponsors, making deals, aquiring and negotiating with talent ... all this so I get my chance to act and fight the way that I can.
I AM GOING TO MAKE IT HAPPEN SINCE NO ONE ELSE WILL
I would like to put out a big thanks to all my readers out there who help me - THANKYOU
