At first, Johnny is reluctant to embrace the power of the Ghost Rider, but it is the only way to protect the boy - and possibly rid himself of his curse forever.

Jason Momoa eyes breakout film role in "Conan"

 LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Jason Momoa may not be a household name from Hollywood yet, but neither was Arnold Schwarzenegger when he took on the title role of "Conan the Barbarian" in 1982.

Nearly 30 years later, Momoa could see a similar starmaking trajectory if moviegoers embrace him as the new, 3D incarnation of "Conan the Barbarian," due in theaters on Friday. If there's one person who hopes they will, it is Momoa.

"Conan (is) going to give me star status," he told Reuters of his hopes for a movie that breaks him out of the pack of Hollywood actors. "It's going to put me in leading man roles."

Based on pulp fiction writer Robert E. Howard's sword and sorcery fantasy stories, the "Conan" reboot begins with the barbarian's early years when, as a young boy, he witnesses the destruction of his village and the death of his father.

As an adult, Conan embarks on a personal mission to avenge the death, which then turns into an epic battle to save an entire nation from a supernatural evil.

Anne Hathaway Attacks “Dark Knight” Paparazzi with Rap [VIDEO]

 While promoting her latest film, One Day, actress Anne Hathaway showed off one of her hidden talents to Conan O’Brien: rapping.

Inspired by photographers’ obsession with The Dark Knight Rises, currently in production, Hathaway performed a rap called “Paparazzi” in what she called “the style of Lil’ Wayne.”

Perhaps the most surprising part: Hathaway isn’t a bad rapper.

Christopher Nolan’s third (and presumably final) Batman film stars Hathaway as Catwoman, and is slated to hit theaters next summer. In May, fans went to great lengths to crack the first viral campaign behind the film’s website and the first teaser trailer for the film was a massive success.

As the film finishes up shooting scenes in Pittsburgh, photos from the set have been finding their way onto the web at a frenetic pace. Earlier this month, the first production still of Hathaway dressed as Catwoman hit the web. This photo was immediately analyzed by movie fan sites and blogs.

What do you think of Hathaway’s rapping ability and the Dark Knight hype? Let us know in the comments.
