Andrea Berloff to Write The Legend of Conan

Universal is moving forward with its new Conan the Barbarian movie which will bring back Arnold Schwarzenegger to the title role which gave birth to his superstardom. According to the Deadline website, Andrea Berloff (World Trade Center) has been tapped to pen the script for The Legend of Conan. Expected to be a continuation of the 1980's continuity of Conan films (and disregarding the awful 2011 reboot) and will follow Conan as the titular king, focusing on his efforts to retain his throne as his reign comes to a close.
