The film had spent several years in development at Warner Bros., before the rights were shifted to Nu Image/Millennium Films in 2007, with a clause wishing for immediate start on production. It stars Jason Momoa in the title role, alongside Rachel Nichols, Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang, Ron Perlman, and Bob Sapp with Marcus Nispel directing.
The film is a new interpretation of the Conan myth, and is not related to the films featuring Arnold Schwarzenegger. Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 American sword and sorcery film based on the character of the same name created by Robert E.
