Coming at the tail end of the summer, it is hard to muster up excitement for Marcus Nispel‘s Conan the Barbarian. The music video director has previously entered feature film territory with remakes of The Texas Chainsaw Massacre and Friday the 13th Getting away from horror and jumping into action/adventure territory, he directs Jason Momoa in this upcoming blockbuster. The film also stars Stephen Lang, Said Taghmaoui, Rachel Nichols and Leo Howard.
Yahoo has our first teaser trailer, and I wish they would have given us a bit more. The smoke effect, coupled with our character fading in and out looks quite cheesy and it looks to be falling right into expectations.

Synopsis: A quest that begins as a personal vendetta for the fierce Cimmerian warrior soon turns into an epic battle against hulking rivals, horrific monsters, and impossible odds, as Conan realizes he is the only hope of saving the great nations of Hyboria from an encroaching reign of supernatural evil.
