Conan the Barbarian has been brought back to life, this time being played by Jason Momoa!
Deadline Hollywood reports that the (ahem) Stargate: Atlantis actor has been cast for the title, beating out Twilight actor Kellan Lutz as well as the upcoming Tonight Show host Jay Leno.
(For those of you who don’t stand with Coco, that last one was a joke. Let’s see NBC try to give a bloodthirsty Cimmerian less than seven months to beat Letterman! Without ER, no less!)
This decision came after much speculation, in which Millennium Films. Lionsgate, and Paradox Entertainment narrowly OK’d the casting after seeing test footage of Momoa in action.

Actually, it’s his wife, Lisa Bonet, who was on Life On Mars (and then only rarely.) Jason might best be recognized from Stargate: Atlantis, as well as Baywatch and North Shore.

You confused Jason Momoa with Jason O’Mara. Momoa was on Stargate: Atlantis and O’Mara was on the American remake of Life on Mars.

Casting could have been a lot worse. A lot. But I still have no hope for this movie. I fear it’ll be a low budget Beast Master.
