Actually, the two Conan movies from the 80's are way more based on the Marvel Comic mythos that were based loosely off of the Robert E. Howard stories.
They say that the new Conan movie (should it see light) will be more heavily influenced off of the original Howard source material. The newer comic series seems to be doing a decent job of keeping in line with it as well. I enjoy both sets of mythos, although I'm not thrilled at the idea of Conan in early America (late Howard addition to the mythos) I always hoped for a good Conan the King movie starring Arnie, but I don't see it coming to fruition.
