After years in pre-production, including a well respected but unproduced John Milius draft, an aborted Red Sonja redux and a countless hours of fan casting, Conan The Barbarian returns to theaters this Friday with Marcus Nispel directing Game of Thrones’ Jason Momoa, as the titular warrior. Rose McGowan, Rachel Nichols, Ron Perlman and Stephen Lang round out the cast of this 3D bloodbath.
Hemming closer to the fantastical Robert E. Howard books, this new Conan is stripped down and vicious. Recently, I sat down with McGowan to discuss her role as an evil priestess in the film. During our interview we discussed the joy of playing mean, why her Red Sonja film was put on hold, her character’s bizarre, but oddly sensuous appeal, the dangers of STDs in ancient times, and she gave us a tidbit on her upcoming film Fortune, where she might be playing a transvestite. Hit the jump to watch.
Finally, if you missed my interviews with Jason Momoa or Rachel Nichols, just click the links.

Curse Cher for making women believe facelifts are alright.
She is beautiful but her delicate features aren’t the type that can hold up over time.
Expect more nip and tuck in the future until she ends up looking like Jocelyn Wildenstein.
DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAYUMMMMM!
Hi, about her, i can’t forget her role as Paige Matthews in The WB Television Network. She has wonderful manner to her work in picture. And i hope, she will give another a super hit movie very soon.
WTF happened to her face? was this interview right after her botox injections?
for those wondering about the plastic surgery, she was in a car accident in 2009 and needed plastic surgery for the injuries to her face. HOWEVER, she has had more work done since then.
it reminds me of christa miller, who used to be so beautiful before she had work done to her face. she was unrecognizeable to me after the surgery.
