According to my trusted source at Millenium, I just found out that Stephen Lang (the main villian in AVATAR) has been offered the role of Khalar Singh, the main villian in Marcus Nispel's "CONAN."
According to a casting breakdown that leaked online last October...
Khalar Singh is in his 40s to 50s, Asian or Middle Eastern, Central Asian, Mongol, Turkish, or Persian, open to all ethnicities; commanding in size and manner, a warlord and formidable warrior, brilliant, cruel, weathered and tanned by the many campaigns he has waged and won. He is driven in his quest to find the Queen of Acheron and has been building an empire to do so.
His goal is to find the Queen whose blood will bring life to the demonic minions of Acheron while making himself king of this hellish power. With this power, Khalar will protect his legacy against the onslaught of master sorcerer, Thoth-Amon so that his weak son, Fariq may rule after his death. While riding into a Cimmerian village to recruit his old comrade, Corin, his large collection of mercenaries slaughters them to the last soul when Corin refuses to join them. The village’s only survivor was young Conan. When Khalar’s search has finally narrowed to the likely discovery of the queen at a monastery of female monks, he also learns Conan is older and hungry for revenge…
Nothing is final. Right now Millenium is negotiating with Lang's reps so the possibility still remains that the deal can fall apart.
I like Stephen Lang. Cool cat. I met him last year in NYC with Kellvin during a screening of "Public Enemies" and I thought he was badass in it.
Good to see good things happen to the good actors.
Stay tuned as more develops...
Hasta el proximo capitulo...
