| That its the poster of an anonymous chest with a sword, that really given theyd chosen to do a film thats already been made from a series of books that have already been written they mighht have been able to come up with something a little more inspiring. No great suprise, god forbid anyone making an original fantasy film these days.

"The company said earlier this year that the new version will be more faithful to Howard's original creation than were the Arnold Schwarzenegger films."
Well, the poster doesn't exactly give me a lot of hope that that's true.
I guess they could technically be "more faithful" than the Schwarzenegger films, while still being "almost entirely unfaithful", in the same way that it could be argued that an adulterer who only sleeps with 17 mistresses is "more faithful" to his wife than one who sleeps with 18.

I'd ignore the poster. It's been knocking about the net for a while now and has some very dodgy photoshop work on. It hasn't yet been confirmed whether this poster is a hoax or a poorly conceived rush job. What is suspicious though is that Filmswords have had their licence to make the Conan film swords revoked/ run out, suggesting that the Atlantean and it's ilk from the original film may be re-used. Also I seem to remember reading that the new film is going to have a rather fast production time suggesting it ain't going to be a big blockbuster but a straight to DVD job. But hey you never know!
