13 Planned Film Trilogies That Need To Be Completed
5. King Conan
Poor Arnold hasnt had the best of luck at the box-office lately; most of his solo projects have failed to live up to expectations, and the latest Terminator is a tragedy best forgotten by all involved. One of the more exciting sequels on his to-do list is King Conan, the long-awaited final instalment of his Conan The Barbarian Trilogy. A script has been developed and the studio is behind it, but Arnies recent box-office appears to be holding it back. The first movie ended with the image of an aged Conan sitting on a throne, hinting at a long-running series that would build up to that point. The second movie, however, was a bit of a camp mess, and lacked the gritty edge that made the original work. For years, a third part was rumoured but never came together, and with Arnold busy elsewhere it looked set to stay that way. Its only recently talk of finally completing the trilogy have emerged, where a tamed Conan would have to reach for his inner barbarian when his kingdom is attacked. It would be great to see it happen, but Arnold is no longer the draw he used to be, and the studio seems flaky about committing to the movie now.
