January 21, 2010 - Conan / Jason Momoa cast as Conan
Scooped on Thursday, January 21, 2010
Latino Review broke the story first, so we're giving them the linklove: Stargate Atlantis cast member Jason Momoa has won the role of Conan. According to the reliable movie news website, Momoa was one of several candidates screentesting for the barbaric role (including Supernatural's Jared Padalecki and Twilight's Kellan Lutz.) What got Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome the role was his last meeting with the Lionsgate executives where he supposedly "charmed the pants off" the suits.
The Latino crew goes a step further and adds that an offer has gone out to Mickey Rourke (The Wrestler, Iron Man 2) to play Conan's father Corin.
