Kull the Conquerer has been many things over the years: mercenary, pirate, gladiator, king. And now, he might just be… a movie star once more.
Fantasy.fr has posted a link saying that the Robert E. Howard character may get another lease on cinematic life, after the tepid reception of the 1997 Kevin Sorbo adaptation.
Paradox Entertainment’s Frederik Malmberg told the site that a new Kull film was indeed in the works. Ironically, Paradox is also working on Howard’s arguably better known sword-swinger, Conan the Barbarian.
More info to come as it arrives!

I know this will be a highly unpopular opinion, but man, I loved that Kevin Sorbo Kull so, so much. It dripped with the finest of cheese, reminiscent of the best bad ’80s movies of yore.
