"Conan the Barbarian" is still looking for its lead.
Kellan Lutz (Twilight), Jason Momoa (Stargate: Atlantis)and Jared Padalecki (Supernatural) are contenders for the lead in Conan the Barbarian. The film is set to begin shooting on March 15 in Bulgaria.
Lutz confirmed to E! Online that he is “actively going after” the role and auditioning.
“I’m tired of playing young; I want to be the big guy that I was,” he said.
At this point, Lutz said he is just waiting to see what happens.
“If it happens, it happens…Regardless, it’s not gonna be the new Arnold Schwarzenegger type of movie, no one’s going to try and play that role,” he said. “I think they’re going younger, a different type of story. I’m just excited, because the script is great.”
