In January we learned that beefy Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz was being considered for the lead role in the upcoming remake film Conan the Barbarian … but while, sadly, Kellan did not get the lead role (Jason Momoa got the lead role), I am happy to pass along the news that one of my fave actresses has been added to the cast. Rose McGowan, who starred in the film Scream and on the TV series Charmed, has been cast as a witch in Conan … talk about your type-casting. Here are a couple photos of Rose lookin’ fab as hell in SoCal yesterday and some deets from Variety about the Conan casting:

Nu Image/Millennium Films has completed the cast for “Conan,” adding Rose McGowan, Stephen Lang, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman, Said Taghmaoui and Leo Howard to star alongside Jason Momoa. Marcus Nispel began lensing Monday at Nu Boyana Studios, Nu Image’s facility in Sofia, Bulgaria. The film will be released domestically by Lionsgate. Based on the Robert E. Howard books, the film is written by Thomas Dean Donnelly & Joshua Oppenheimer, Sean Hood and Andrew Lobel and centers on the mythical hero driven to avenge the murder of his father and the slaughter of his village. Lang will portray a sadistic warlord, and McGowan is to play an evil half-human/half-witch. Howard appears as young Conan, and Perlman portrays Conan’s father. The film’s produced by Avi Lerner, Boaz Davidson, Joe Gatta and Fredrik Malmberg. Exec producers are Danny Dimbort, Trevor Short, George Furla and Henry Winterstern. The project’s been in development for a decade; Paradox had set it up at Warner Bros. but decided against a new rights deal three years ago and went to Nu Image instead.

While I PERSONALLY think that Kellan Lutz would make a better Conan the Barbarian, I’m willing to give Jason Momoa a chance at winning me over. I’m so pleased that Rose is part of the cast that I will DEFFO be seeing this film when it gets released. Incidentally, Charmed season 4 has just begun re-running on TNT TV this week and I’ve started gettin’ my McGowan fix again. It’ll be really fun to see her in a new movie … I can’t wait!!
