What happens
Conan the Barbarian is a 2011 American sword and sorcery film based on the character created by Robert E. Howard, and starring Jason Momoa as Conan. The film was directed by Marcus Nispel and written by Thomas Dean Donnelly, Joshua Oppenheimer, and Sean Hood. Rachel Nichols, Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang, Ron Perlman, and Bob Sapp appear in supporting roles, while Morgan Freeman narrates the film. The story follows Conan, a barbarian warrior who was the sole survivor of his village's slaughter as a child, on his quest for vengeance against the warlord responsible for the massacre. The film had spent several years in development at Warner Bros. Pictures before the rights were shifted to Nu Image/Millennium Films in 2007, with a clause wishing for immediate start on production. Lionsgate Films and Sony Pictures entered negotiations for distribution, with the film seeing many directors, prominently Brett Ratner, before settling on Nispel in 2009 and subsequently bringing together a cast and crew. Filming began on March 15, 2010, and concluded June 5, 2010. The film was first released on August 17, 2011, in four countries, Belgium, France, Iceland, and the Philippines, prior to the North American release on August 19. Conan the Barbarian was deemed both a critical and financial failure. However, it was nominated for Best Makeup at the 38th Saturn Awards. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
