Bring Conan the Barbarian to Broadway!

John Milius, the director of Conan the Barbarian, thinks the film would be beautifully converted to a broadway musical. With the music of Basil Poledouris, the set designs of Ron Cobb, and storytelling of Milius, Conan has what it takes to deliver a powerful and emotionally rich broadway play or opera.

John Milius: "Basil (Poledouris) and I always wanted to do Conan as either a ballet or an opera. Unfortunately Basil died but we always wanted to do that. We thought that was a great idea. I still think it would be a terrific idea. The story of Conan, of the first movie, is such a great story for a ballet or an opera. When we made the movie, It's strange because I'm known as a writer but when I directed, I always said music and image are predominant. Words are not. And that's why Conan has so few words in it because when I did it I said 'Basil, just think of this whole thing, this movie, like a ballet."

TheArnoldFans brought you a petition in 2002 for Arnold to star in "King Conan" as T3's follow-up film. With the help of AIntitCoolnews.com and The New York Times, we generated 14,000 signatures and made Arnold commit to the film before the Wachowski brothers doomed the project. How about a new petition to get Conan on broadway? Click HERE to support the project!

Imagine it...Conan the Barbarian on Stage: A John Milius Production presented by Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger. Basil P would be pleased. This you can trust.
