Pic/Santa Banta &quot;Our collective perception of who Conan is really changes through the decades and is not just defined by one thing alone. He needs to be updated,&quot; Nispel said. The new movie will see going into a world where he survives as a thief, pirate and warrior after his father is murdered and the village is destroyed. He then meets the warlord responsible for the destruction of his tribe. &quot;Is this still a generation that embraces or reveres machoism?

Filmmaker Marcus Nispel, who is all set to release the reboot of 'Conan the Barbarian', said he wanted to give moviegoers a reason to see the new take on the character Arnold Schwarzenegger has made iconic in 1982.
