Would he have want his character and the Hyborian Age "remade" as Milius did? Or can his creations be freely trampled over, twisted and contorted, simply because he's dead? Again, I note that I liked CtB, but it's not faithful, nor does its existence preclude future directors from making better Conan films.<br /><br />For example, I'd like to think that if someone decides to redo The Lord of the Rings in 10 or 20 years they would draw upon the source material instead of attempting a remake or adaptation of Jackson's films. As you said Al, it would be a new adaptation, not a remake.<br /><br />That people are perhaps mistaking CtB as the source material for the character of Conan is a more troubling thought.Brian Murphyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05563309422791320114noreply@blogger.com
