According to Deadline, Universal Pictures has taken a step forward on the reboot The Legend of Conan, which will bring Arnold Schwarzenegger back as the brawny king. The studio has closed a deal with Andrea Berloff to write the script. Best known for scripting World Trade Center, Berloff most recently adapted the French action film Sleepless Night for Warner Bros.
The new film looks to get back to the original raw, violent Conan films, which ended with the image of the barbarian king sitting atop his throne. Legend is about his efforts to stay there and the final cycle of a life spent obliterating anyone who got in his way.
Stay tuned for more on this one as it comes.
