How graphic is the sex and violence in Conan the Barbarian?
It seems that many fans are worried about it being a soft PG-13.
Sean Hood, Professional screenwriter and director
As a screenwriter on Conan The Barbarian, I get asked this question a lot.
The world of Hyboria, as Robert E. Howard described it, is fleshy and brutal. Bloody beheadings and bare-chested slave girls abound. However, while the movie is unflinching in its depiction of barbarism, slavery and warfare, the violence and nudity emerge from the fabric of the story. It isn't gratuitous.
Robert E. Howard’s stories, although violent and perverse for their time, were not intrusively graphic either. So this is ultimately a movie about the character Conan, a character that will hopefully launch a healthy franchise of movies with stories and characters that celebrate Howard’s work. Yes, you’ll see blood and boobs, but this isn’t a Cinemax movie; it's epic action/fantasy.
And yes, it's rated R.
