Robert E Howard, (REH), created Red Sonja, Conan The Barbarian, King Kull, Solomon Kane and others during his short life in Texas!

Marvel Comics included Belit in the Conan The Barbarian Comics in the 1970's culminating in the Death of Belit in Conan's issue #100!

Belit was first published in 1934 when REH had his 'Queen of the Black Coast' story printed in the May 1934 issue of Weird Tales!

Basically, Conan found Belit as follows: In the seacoast kingdom of Argos, after a brush with the Hyborian legal system, Conan hops aboard a southward bound ship. Off the coasts of Kush the ship is boarded by black corsairs under the Shemitish she-devil, Bêlit. Conan joins her crew, becomes her consort, and for a long time they harry the Hyborian and Stygian ports. During this stage of his career, Conan gains the name of Amra, the Lion, which is to follow him throughout his later life!

We read about the upcoming 6-20-08 movie in the SDCC 2007 program book at last year's Comic Con.

We even touted the program that the movie would be presented at the Con here in our blog.

The photo to the top right show just two of the cast members that attended that special program!

We have already blogged about the movie poster, and showed the opening credits from the 1960's TV Show in previous blog posts here...

Seeing all this goin on really gets me excited about the upcoming movie!

This could be a decent update of the original TV Series that I enjoyed as a kid!

In this updated movie, Steve Carell (as Maxwell Smart) and Anne Hathaway (as Agent 99) take over the roles originally played by Don Adams and Barbara Feldon who were perfect casting!

Steve and Anne will be joined by a cast that includes Dwayne 'The Rock' Johnson (as Agent 23), Alan Arkin (as The Chief) and Terrence Stamp (as Siegfried).

The movie's plotline appears to be a familar one, it is supposed to follow the agents of CONTROL as they battle KAOS. 

I am not always a fan of updated TV Shows or updated Theatrical Movies... for the most part I am usually disappointed.

However, if the Movie Poster, and the enthusiasm of the cast is any indication of what the movie will be like... then the production staff is on the right track!
