G.I. Joe actor goes to Conan
Said Taghmaoui climbs on board as the latest addition to the cast of Conan, being directed by Marcus Nispel. He joins up on a cast that already includes Jason Momoa, Rachel Nichols, Stephen Lang and Ron Perlman. Taghmaoui is playing a leader of thieves who is saved by Conan (Jason Momoa) and later offers him aid. Lang is a ruler in search of a queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of a long-lost god (THR).
Conan is based off of the character by Robert E. Howard that already got the big screen treatment twice in the early eighties with Conan the Barbarian and Conan the Destroyer. The newest version is penned by Sean Hood, Joshua Oppenheimer and Thomas Dean Donnelly. Conan is expected to come out under Lionsgate in theaters sometime in 2011.
