| Book Review: The True Adventures of the World’s Greatest Stuntman Posted: 18 Jun 2011 04:26 PM PDT  The True Adventures of the World's Greatest StuntmanMy Life as Indiana Jones, James Bond, Superman and Other Movie Heroes Hardcover | Kindle By Vic Armstrong with Robert Sellers, Foreword by Steven Spielberg Titan Books Release Date: May 17, 2011 Vic Armstrong has been hiding in plain sight my entire life disguised as some of my favorite action-adventure characters. In his book, The True Adventures of the World's Greatest Stuntman: My Life as Indiana Jones, James Bond, Superman and Other Movie Heroes, Armstrong takes us on the spectacular journey of his life that left me wondering who would be brave enough to play him in a movie.

The first full trailer was intriguing enough, but the original 1982 Arnold Schwarzenegger movie was about a warrior tearing his way to vengeance against the man who killed his people, and with this new trailer it appears Nispel hasn't held back on going all-out on the bloody revenge thing. That's all we really care about with this movie, correct? You can see the new Conan the Barbarian red band trailer by continuing on now. Be warned: because it is red, the trailer has plenty of NSFW goodies going on. [...]      |
