Why? Maybe so that someone who maybe, just maybe can act (at least enough to get out of a paper bag), could resurrect the role that Arnold botched so totally the first time around. :tea:

The original is legendary. These people who've remade it should all be shot. What next? Remake Casablanca?

Of course it is legendary and I love it, but Arnold cannot act, and there's no way round that.

There's likely no way they will manage to get another hexwife like Sharon Stone, though. She rocked!

Who cares if he can't act? Arnie was never about acting.

That doesn't stop me from being curious about what his roles could have been like if done by someone else.

And BTW I adored especially the first Conan, and worship the Terminator and T2. But variety is a nice spice.

How could it possibly be better than the original? It can't. It looks like humourless, soul-less, SFX laden dreck.

And Colin Farrell is an arsehole.

The first one is not The Godfather, it was a special effects action movie with bad acting. A very entertaining one that I loved, but is already dated and to think it can't be improved upon is making a sacred cow out of a side of beef. As to Colin Farrell being an asshole, I've never met him, but I like him in movies.

I am with you 100% on this. How the hell do you replace the legendary Ahnold with that horse's ass Colin Farrell?

It's a fucking travesty. A crime against humanity even. Anarchy. A complete breakdown of civilization is what this is.

He is a legend in the weight lifting world, in acting and politics he is just legendarily shit.
