Warner Brothers production president Jeff Robinov told the Hollywood North Report Web site that a third Conan the Barbarian live-action movie is in the works and that the studio "is committed to producing the film within the next year."

Warner intends to produce Conan with a big budget, the site reported.

Robinov is reportedly going back to the original Robert E. Howard Conan stories for inspiration. "I love the character," he said. "You have to get to the core of who the Conan character was."

A different sequel, King Conan: Crown of Iron, was in development for years under original Conan the Barbarian writer and director John Milius, but never came together.
