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.

I've been in love with film ever since I was a kid. The time, effort and passion that runs through a majority most film is something that's always attracted me to this field. What ended up happening with my big appetite for all things going on in the industry turned from random blurbs on Facebook to an unexpected but fun job. College student by day, movie news writer by early morning...or any time in the day and night when more news arrives. Working towards my bachelor's degree in film, what a surprise. I do other things too, like draw, write stories, maintain a social life and feed my pet dragon Lockheed. If you want to know more about me, hunt me down and just ask.
