Live By The Sword

Jason Momoa is the new Conan for director Marcus Nispel says Variety.



The former Stargate: Atlantis and "Baywatch" star beat out Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz.

The "unnamed but better established actor" was Jared Padalecki of the TV series "Supernatural", who previously worked for Nispel in last year's "Friday the 13th" remake says Latino Review.

Like Padalecki for his TV gig but he is no Conan...

Nispel shot a few trial scenes that allowed Momoa to wield a sword--putting him over the top.

Following news that Momoa has been cast, LR has also obtained information which mentions that Mickey Rourke has been offered to be Conan's father, Corin. However, has not been signed yet for the film.

Filming is scheduled to kick off March 15th in Bulgaria
