Lawsuit Filed Over New Conan the Barbarian Movie

Tough times for the new Conan!

It's already been a less-than-fantastic few days for the people behind the new Conan the Barbarian movie, which underperformed at the box office this weekend, and now it's about to get worse!

Stan Lee Media Inc. (SLMI), a company which now has nothing to do with founder Stan Lee, is suing the folks behind the new Conan flick, claiming that they still retain ownership of the "Conan" character.

According to the company, the transfer of the character and other assets to Paradox Entertainment took place during a time when SLMI's properties "were part of a bankruptcy estate and protected from unauthorized transfer by the automatic bankruptcy stay."

The new Conan people must be in REALLY high spirits right now, especially given the fact that the movie brought in around $10 million, while the budget was between $70 and $90 million!!! And yes, we're being sarcastic.

Should be interesting to see who wins this one…but not TOO interesting because the movie isn't even bringing in decent money! We'd be pret-ty surprised if a sequel gets made for this one.

What do U think about all of this? Are the people behind the new Conan in lots of trouble???

Rose McGowan Asked For $5 Million To Have Her Eyebrows And Head Shaved For Conan

…For Conan the Barbarian, not Conan, the gingerehad talk show host.

When producers of the movie asked Rose McGowan to shave her eyebrows and her hairline to play the evil sorceress Marique, she said, "Sure, if you give me $5 million."

LOLz! We like your negotiation skillz, Rose!

Too bad the studio didn't fall for it though and instead, opted to have the film's makeup team get her into character every morning. To get her to look like the lovely image (above), they had to slick back her hair and put on a prosthetic piece that went over her eyebrows and back to the middle of her head.

Rose says she "sat from about two in the morning till around 7:30 in the morning" to get it done.

Whoa, that's rough. Seems she liked the results though because she added:

"I think she looks kind of majestic and amazing. It really freed me up to be as kind of weird as i wanted to be. It was the only time I've ever actually had an ease with watching myself on screen."

Aw, don't be so hard on yourself, hon. You are beautiful so there is no need to beat yourself up. And no more plastic surgery!

Your character does look pretty awesome. Conan the Barbarian comes out this Friday!
