Did you know that Milius wrote the 'Wreck of the Indianapolis' speech from Jaws? And had a significant part in developing 1941 as well. They are old friends.
I did know that. He also penned the "Do I feel Lucky" speech from Dirty Harry and directed my favorite movie of all time, Conan the Barbarian. I pray he gets to make Conan the King according to his vision and not some jackass Hollywood execs. I heard that the script is awesome.
