Conan The Barbarian 2023 Hindi Dubbed Movie |
Conan the Barbarian is an epic sword and sorcery film directed by John Milius
and written by Milius and Oliver Stone that was released in 1982. The film,
based on Robert E. Howard's Conan, stars Arnold Schwarzenegger and James Earl
Jones and tells the story of Conan (Schwarzenegger), a barbarian warrior who
seeks vengeance for the death of his parents at the hands of Thulsa Doom
(Jones), the leader of a snake cult.
Conan film ideas were floated as early as 1970, and executive producer Edward
R. Pressman and associate producer Edward Summer launched a concerted effort
to get the film made in 1975. It took them two years to acquire the film
rights, after which they cast Schwarzenegger in the lead role and hired Stone
to write the script. Pressman lacked the necessary funds for the venture.
After having his investment proposals rejected by the major studios, he sold
the project to Dino De Laurentiis in 1979; his daughter Raffaella produced the
film. Milius was named director and rewrote Stone's script. The final script
incorporated scenes from Howard's stories as well as the Japanese films Seven
Samurai (1954) and Kwaidan (1955).
Over the course of five months, filming took place in and around Madrid and
the province of Almera in Spain. Ron Cobb designed the sets, which were
inspired by Dark Age cultures and Frank Frazetta's Conan paintings. Milius
avoided optical effects in favor of mechanical constructs and optical
illusions to realize his ideas. Schwarzenegger did the majority of his own
stunts, and two swords worth $10,000 each were forged for his character.
Several violent scenes were cut during the year-long editing process.
