Renamed trope


It is a ContinuityReboot of the Conan film franchise, again revisiting his OriginStory, though it takes a fair few elements from the [[Film/ConanTheBarbarian1982 first]] [[Film/ConanTheDestroyer two]] Conan films which starred Creator/ArnoldSchwarzenegger. On the other hand, the movie retains many quintessential elements of a good Conan story: a DistressedDamsel, an [[EvilSorcerer Evil Sorceress]], an EvilOverlord, even an ArtifactOfDoom for everyone to quarrel over. Of course, true to its pulp origins, the movie has a lot of blood and some nudity and is extremely SwordAndSorcery.

Unfortunately, the film was a BoxOfficeBomb, only earning less than $49 million worldwide with a $90 million budget. The next Conan film, should it ever escape from DevelopmentHell, will star Arnold Schwarzenegger again. Its tentative title is ''The Legend of Conan'', and it's supposed to be a sequel [[UnReboot to the first film alone]].
