Rachel Nichols (“G.I. Joe: The Rise of Cobra”, “Star Trek”, TV’s “Alias”) has signed on to play the warrior woman Tamara in director Marcus Nispel’s “Conan”. <\/p>\n

The Lionsgate film will be based on Robert E. Howard’s mythical conqueror and pulp literary character Conan the Barbarian.<\/p>\n

The casting breakdown for Nichols’ character, Tamara, says;<\/p>\n

“Tamara is 18 to 24 years old, Caucasian or Middle Eastern, open to all ethnicities; beautiful, studious, correct, a novitiate of a Greek influenced monastery. A master of martial arts, she has been trained to be the Queen\u2019s servant, bodyguard and best friend. She and many other female bodyguards to the queen have been in hiding most of their lives because of the curse of Acheron, which would take the queen\u2019s life to bring almost immortal power to its king. When Khalar Singh, a powerful warlord with ambitions to become the king of Acheron, storms the monastery and captures all of the novitiates, she is separated from Ilira, the one she must protect. With all of her strength and will, Tamara is determined to find and rescue her. She finds herself in league with Conan because of a mutual need to find Khalar Singh. She is not in the least intimidated by Conan\u2019s size or grim demeanor and their alliance eventually blossoms into something that surprises them both\u2026”<\/p>\n
