I've got some exciting UPDATES for all you Conan The Barbarian MEGA fans!
Are there many Conan fans on BLURT?
Netflix is now developing a live-action series based on the legendary sword-and-sorcery character that was created by Robert E. Howard.
The project is coming from Fredrik Malmberg and Mark Wheeler’s Pathfinder Media.
It’s also the first in a deal between Netflix and Conan Properties International, which is owned by Malmberg’s Cabinet Entertainment.
The deal gives Netflix a rare exclusive option to acquire rights to the Conan literary entire library and also to develop works across TV and film, both live-action and even animated.
A couple of years ago Amazon was developing a Conan drama series, but nothing happened with that either.
I hope that Netflix manages to attract the right talent for their series adaptation, someone who could and will be able to bring Conan to life in a TRULY EPIC way that fans will get pumped up and excited about.
I guess we’ll have to wait and see if this turns out any good!
