Tweede villain Conan ook gevonden!
Stephen Lang gaat waarschijnlijk de rol van villain Khalar Singh spelen in Marcus Nispels Conan reboot. Lang liet onlangs al zien dat hij best kwaadaardig kan spelen; hij vertolkte de knettergekke Colonel Quaritch in Avatar.
Het personage Singh werd als volgt beschreven in de casting call:
Hes in his 40s to 50s, Asian or Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Mongol, Turkish, or Persian, open to all ethnicities; commanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won.
[Singh] is driven in his quest to find the Queen of Acheron and has been building an empire to do so. His goal is to find the Queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of Acheron while making himself king of this hellish power. With this power, Khalar will protect his legacy against the onslaught of master sorcerer, Thoth-Amon so that his weak son, Fariq may rule after his death.
While riding into a Cimmerian village to recruit his old comrade, Corin, his large collection of mercenaries slaughters them to the last soul when Corin refuses to join them. The villages only survivor was young Conan. When Khalars search has finally narrowed to the likely discovery of the queen at a monastery of female monks, he also learns Conan is older and hungry for revenge.
We wisten al dat de titelrol gespeeld wordt door Jason Momoa. Mickey Rourke speelt Conans vader en Bob Sapp is Ukafa. De productie van Conan begint op 15 maart in Bulgarije. De film verschijnt volgend jaar in de bioscoop.
