    Jason Momoa scores the new Conan the Barbarian film!

    http://www.deadline.com/hollywood/to...n-hires-momoa/

    excerpt:

    EXCLUSIVE: Today's the day for all things Conan to be resolved. First, there was Conan the late night host getting a whopping check to leave. Now, Conan the Barbarian has been crowned. I hear that Millennium Films, Lionsgate, and rights holder Paradox Entertainment have approved Jason Momoa to star in Conan, the rebirth of the Robert E. Howard-created series. The brawny star of Stargate Atlantis who also stars in HBO's Game of Thrones, Momoa got the nod over Kellan Lutz, the Twilight guy. I told you that the search for Conan had come down to the duo. Sources said that director Marcus Nispel was sold on Momoa, and won over the filmmakers by shooting a few trial scenes that allowed Momoa to wield a sword and behave very Schwarzenegger-like

          Think we can officially kiss the Atlantis movie goodbye at this point then.

            I don't think so.....Ronon can have a smaller role or no role at all. I've very glad for Jason, he seems to fit the role of Conan perfectly. Can't wait to see how the film develops!

                I would think if they could convince Jason to come back to film the movie (bet he commands a bigger salary now!) it would make the movie more attractive to produce - they could market it as the one with Conan in it... get a wider audience.

                      I think Jason Mamoa would be an ideal candidate for the role of Conan the Barbarian. Only I am extremly concerned that this will have consequences on the Stargate Atlantis film. But also I keep in mind that MGM is in financial problems.

                          Didn't McKay called Ronan "Conan" and Teyla "Xena" in a couple of episodes?

                              Actors can't wait on a "maybe" film. They gotta keep moving. Honestly, I don't have much hope for an SGA film, not at this rate (by the time they get around to it, McKay will be bald!)
