21 May - Arnold Schwarzenegger recently revealed that his upcoming "Conan the Barbarian" sequel will begin production next year.

The actor shared as much with TheArnoldFans outlet, saying, "Next year, we are going to do King Conan. So that is a reality now, and I am excited about it. For the last 10 years, I have been saying, 'We should do King Conan, and we should get a great script written, get someone who really understands Robert E. Howard, that understands the artwork of Frank Frazetta and to continue on."

"I want to have John Milius, the director of Conan 1, to be maybe the producer. So it will be really fantastic," he added.

Schwarzenegger stressed that the timing is perfect for the new feature.

"The movie wouldn't have worked after I did the first Conan because the whole idea of King Conan is that, for 40 years, he has been king. He is older now. He is no longer in the shape he was from his heyday, and now people are trying to take him out. He's the king, and he gets a little bit complacent. He's tired of the job, and he wants to move on. Look at the movie by Clint Eastwood, Unforgiven. It will be a lot like that, but it will be with extraordinary battles."

It was previously reported that the movie will be helmed by Christopher McQuarrie of "Mission: Impossible" fame.
