This is the kind of trailer that makes me eat a freshly slain antelope on the roof of a Eurovan. Or something.
Here, courtesy of Syfy is the teaser trailer for Conan the Barbarian, starring Jason Mamoa, Ron Perlman, Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang, and Rachel Nichols.
And a whole lot of smoke.
Really hoping for a sword and sandal slamdunk. But even if it doesn't turn out that way, all they've gotta do is release it theatrically with the John Milius and Arnold Schwarzenegger DVD commentary from the 1982 film adaptation, and they're set.
Conan the Barbarian barbarians in August.

I’m usually fairly open minded but this was a terrible trailer, or teaser. The movie may be awesome of course so not judging the movie, but for me, it was probably the voice used in the trailer. LIke the guy was trying to go down where his range couldn’t take him. Felt like a collegehumor or funny or die trailer voice. But nope, this is the real thing. Good movie? Maybe. Bad Trailer? Yep!.
it’s bad.
I will reserve judgement pending further evidence.
I’m cautiously optimistic about this. I really liked the director’s remake of texas chainsaw and really hated his remake of friday the 13th.
The original Conan is one of my favorite movies and not because of irony or nostalgia. It’s a damn good movie.
@Jurassicalien That’s pretty much what Jason Moma sounds like. He’s doing some weird announciation, but his “regular voice” really isn’t leaps and bounds different.
Remember no matter how bad this film may be, we always have the original and tons of other Conan works birthed by Howard to enjoy.
Why is this trailer telling me to join the Bavarian Army?! I don’t even like cream filled doughnuts!
I’m cautiously optimistic, yeah thats just how Jason Momoa sounds. He was the best thing in Stargate Atlantis though…so here’s hoping…
tack on “eats waffles” to the end of that monolgue and you have me.
That teaser trailer wasn’t a tease at all. A teaser is supposed to want to make me see more. That did nothing for me. Still curious t see the movie, but that did nothing to enhance any excitement level in me. The still photos released recently did a much better job of making me want to see the movie.
The leading actor for Conan looks wrong, wrong, wrong! I have very little faith for this.
I thought the actor looked to pretty also.
How is a trailer where you can barely see anything worth being released? It seems like most of the time teaser trailers are more lacking than a good start.
Everything I’ve seen for this new Conan has not excited me one bit. It has a high bar to match and honestly, Rose McGowan and Rachel Nichols might be the only reason to go see it.
@FoeApple totally agree- not looking like Conan at all- bad casting
I don’t think he looks completely off. I think if his hair was straightened it would make a huge difference.
he actually looks exactly like the comic book conan, just not arnie
This is going to ba a Conan movie.
is that Roin from SGA?
he eats… he prays… and he loves
@clintaa I don’t think they had flat irons in Cimmeria
@edward you know what, you are totally right. i take back my earlier comment about that guy, he does look just like the dark horse conan in the books. i guess arnie was too burned into my head as the film conan. the book is fun too, so my feelings about this film just improved.
Are there going to be monsters in this? I really wany Conan to fight monsters.
I have no problem with Jason Momoa looks, sounds, or dances. It just seems like he’s been cast in a terrible movie with bad dialogue. “I live, love, slay, and am content” vs. “TO CRUSH YOUR ENEMIES, SEE THEM DRIVEN BEFORE YOU, AND TO HEAR THE LAMENTATIONS OF THE WOMEN!”
That was a weird formatting error. Oh well, throw a “how” somewhere in there.
@TimmyWood Every movie like this is better with monsters. Let’s hope!
@JohnVFerrigno They had steel and hot forges!
A reminder, Arnold doesn’t look like what Conan should look like, this is more of an accurate depiction of R.E. Howard’s work. Arnold got the role because he was popular at the time (huge gym movement around him). This is what Conan should look like at the beginning of his career, slightly smaller so he can be a thief. Later on in his career he should get bigger.
For the trailer, I would of preferred more scenes from the movie, but its a good teaser.
