steve stated on facebook today that "We will likely have a small set of cards for the new Conan movie, including autograph cards signed by Jason Momoa!"

out in August

sounds like another conan factory set to me but we will see

Maybe there will finally be a Rachel Nichols autograph card, too. I was hoping that Rittenhouse would have done an expansion for the 2009 Star Trek movie and included her, but this will be almost as good (and she's not green in Conan, which is a bonus).

I have been hoping for a Rachel Nichols auto in a card set for season five of Alias but I guess that is never going to happen .

Picture is up at Facebook I will try and steal..I mean borrow it and post here..

I just bought a Master Set of Stargate Universe 2 ... Feeling the hurt after spending alot on the Bond set before it ..... Thought i had time to recover ..... Bloody heck .... I guess not , Another set i must get . The previews for the movie look great . As you all know i am a Stargate freak . So this is a no brainer

My feeling on this movie is it's going to be big and dumb... and not in a good way. Jason Momoa couldn't act in Stargate, and the director of this new Conan was awful in Pathfinder. If anything, Pathfinder was already a Conan movie.

Now, Momoa was excellent in his role in Game of Thrones, and Karl Urban (Pathfinder) was good in Star Trek, so, that leads us back to weak directors...

I liked Momoa in Atlantis . Thought the show got stronger with him in it ( after season 1 ).
My favorite Atlantis Ep was the Wraith and Ronon's fight on his home planet Haven't seen Games of Thrones yet do to no HBO . Going to buy the DvD's though for that and Camelot .

I really liked Momoa in Stargate, I'm looking forward to the movie and cards!

Yeah Momoa was fine in Stargate, just like Judge was in SG1. They had to play big, dumb guys. Still, there is a fine line between big and dumb working in a movie, and making it just big and dumb (as I mentioned with Pathfinder).

I hope Conan is a great movie as the original is one of my all-time favorites but the director just doesn't give me confidence.

Every show has to have it's Worf! I don't mean to be rude but thats what he flet like when I was watching Atlantis

To each his own. . . Momoa and Judge were two of my favorite Stargate characters/actors.

Never saw Pathfinder. . .

its conan not hamlet nobody ever said arnold was a master actor either...that being said i like jason momoa so i will see the flick

There's no own here. Momoa is not a brilliant actor. BUT he will be fine in Conan as long as the director is able. However, the director previously did Pathfinder which was a horrible movie and a Conan wannabe. It had a chase scene. A chase scene in a Viking movie set in ancient America.

Teal'c is by far my favorite character in SG1 but anyone saying Judge is brilliant or a great actor is ... well...

And there's the problem. Worf as a character was given plenty of time in two series to develop and show emotion. Ronan was quite a flat character for most of Atlantis (the show itself was quite flat [with the exception of Rodney], the Stargate people having lost their direction somewhere near the middle of SG1).

Well said.

They have done one thing for Conan that bodes well for the movie: It's not PG-13, it's a straight R rating.

Conan is meant to bloody and brutal with a healthy dose of damsels to lighten the mood.

Hopefully they give us an entertaining movie, can you really expect more from Conan?

I was just going to post here too. For $129, you also get a relic card as well, plus the other 7 base cards, of course.

Hmmm... A lot of people are going to be disappointed no other cast members signed for this.

I'm guessing that if you seek out a dealer it will be cheaper than buying direct.

I'm thinking you'll be able to pick up this set in the $100 range, which is a little better.

This might be one of those cases where they just couldn't get any more signers to participate. But that seems odd seeing as McGowan and Perlman have signed before.

But movie sets have always had a timing issue. Maybe if this sells well and the movie does well there can be an expansion set. That's happened before...
