Momoa's Conan comes out from Cimmeria seeking vengeance, Howard's Conan comes out because of wanderlust. Either way, what's important is that he is out, the 'revenge' story is over, take it from there. The gulf between the two is lightyears smaller than the gulf between "literature Conan" and "Schwarzenegger/Milius Conan".<br /><br />But, it looks very bleak for that to happen. I was hoping for a <i>Star Trek: the Motion Picture</i> to <i>Star Trek: The Wrath of Kahn</i> evolution without need for a full "reboot", but I don't think it will play out that way.Paul R.
