Guess who's Back to Conan? Schwarzenegger.
Remember the good ol' days when Arnie played Conan? Before Jason Momoa became the barbarian? Well if you miss those days, I've got news for you! Information has been circulating around the internet regarding who will play the barbarian in the upcoming film, and Schwarzenegger seems to fit the part in the opinions of most Conan fans.
According to Paradox Entertainments CEO, Fredrik Malmberg the new film will disregard the few movies that followed the original (including the second, which feature Schwarzenegger) and will take off from the end of the first film, where the audience view an aged warrior upon his throne.
Terminator fans don't feel as blessed as the barbaric followers because Terminator Salvation didn't feature Arnie and there hasn't been any confirmations regarding his return to the series.
This is a great test for Schwarzenegger, to see if he can make a big impact on returning to a film franchise like his mid 80's action film rival Sylvester Stallone did with the Rambo and Rocky installments.
Chris Morgan will be producing the film, he has also conjured the story and is the best bet to write the script. He's known for saving the the fast and the furious series after a drop in quality thanks to the original studio trying to hand the franchise off.
Star Wars 7 released thanks to Disney?
This is breaking news, Disney has bought Lucasfilm ltd. for $4.05 billion. I've never been a big fan of the Star Wars series, and with the seventh movie scheduled to be released in 2015, I don't think I will be any time soon. With the release date being so far away, I think it allows the media to create obscure rumours about the production and the cast. Whether or not 3D Technology is being included in the new film is already sparking conversations with the recent re-release of "Star Wars: Episode 1 - The Phantom Menace". Of course the new Star Wars film would be filmed with 3D technology, instead of editing the original content which is what happened with the re-release.
As for Lucas' other film franchises such as Indiana Jones, there has not been any reports on Disneys' decision to further this or any other series originally under Lucasfilm ltd.
While reading the full press release published by Disney, I stumbled across something that makes me wonder about how long the deal has been in the air.
The press release read: "The acquisition combines two highly compatible family entertainment brands, and strengthens the long-standing beneficial relationship between them that already includes successful integration of Star Wars content into Disney theme parks in Anaheim, Orlando, Paris and Tokyo".
Everyone already knew about the Star Wars featured in the Disney theme parks but did anyone foresee the merging of the two? People have been linking posts containing predictions all around forums, but seem to be too accurate for anyone to believe and has got people thinking that date tampering on the posts have taken place.

Villain Logos for Kick Ass 2?
Director of Kick Ass 2 Jeff Wadlow sent out a cryptic tweet involving a villains logo for the film. This could add credibility to the villain and make the villain feel like more of a family with other villains, from different series with a bit more class such as Captain Americas enemy Red Skull. Although this news is exciting, there has not been any confirmations.
