Said Taghmaoui Is A Leader Of Thieves In CONAN

Those of you who’ve seen Vantage Point, Traitor, last season of the series Lost, would recognize the man in the image above, Said Taghmaoui. He’s the dude who played Breaker in G.I. Joe: The Rise Of Cobra. Wasn’t really a memorable part for him, the movie didn’t allow him to do more, he got overshadowed by all the other characters, including Ripcord played by Marlon Wayans..

According to HollywoodReporter, Taghmaoui, has been in cast in CONAN reboot for Nu Image/Millenium, directed by Marcus Nispel (Friday the 13th remake) starring Jason Momoa as the new Barbarian warrior.
Taghmaoui will play the best friend.. “a leader of thieves who is saved by Conan (Jason Momoa) and later offers him aid”

Here’s what’s weird.. the trades confirmed that Mickey Rourke will no longer play Conan’s father, Corin but it also said the role is still open, it’s as if it didn’t recognize that other info about Ron Perlman replacing Rourke… This raises some questions indeed. Jason Momoa as the new Cimmerian fighter, Rachel Nichols as Tamara, Stephen Lang as the villain Khalar Singh, Bob Sapp as Ukafa and Leo Howard as young Conan.
Sean Hood was hired to rewrite the script, the story will have Conan embark on a quest to avenge the slaughter of his people including his father
