Solomon Kane
 

Looks interesting. Good cast.

Plot: The first part in a trilogy series, "Solomon Kane" is an epic adventure adapted from the classic pulp stories by Robert E. Howard, creator of "Conan the Barbarian." Solomon Kane (James Purefoy) is a 16th Century soldier who learns that his brutal and cruel actions have damned him. Determined to redeem himself, Kane swears to live a life of peace and goodness but is forced to fight once more when a dark power threatens the land.

Directed by Michael J. Bassett, starring James Purefoy, Max von Sydow, Pete Postlethwaite, Rachel Hurd-Wood, Alice Krige, Mackenzie Crook

If it is any good at all (and it looks like it may be) it will rock so hard.

Robert E. Howard was genius and anything the man ever wrote would kick all kinds of ass on screen.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I agree, Conan, Kull, Bran Mak Morn and Solomon Kane were all great reads. That trailer makes me want to see Red Nails with that kind of production value.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I just saw the trailer pop up and came here to see if anybody had posted about it. Looks like I was just a tad behind. Interestingly Wiki says Christopher Lambert was offered the role earlier in the decade when the project was first getting off the ground.

You beat me to it. Apparently the budget is realtively small as well. If this does well it could be a huge success.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Trailer no work anymore. :(

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I sat through the Comic-Con panel for this movie while waiting for another one. I'd never heard of it but thought it looked pretty good if you're into that kind of movie. Not sure if I'd see it but it did spark some interest.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I've heard the name but never knew what it was. Looks interesting...

Re: Solomon Kane
 

That looks badass! Sign me up.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

This is what Van Helsing was supposed to be about (and don't tell me that movie didn't rip off Howard's source material). It might be cheesy, but I am interested.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Looks pretty freaking cool.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Wow. This looks totally badass. Can't wait to see it. And Dr. DVD is right, this what Van Helsing should have been. And I say that as someone that didn't hate that movie.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I don't think a Van Helsing film w/ Sommers could've turned out like this. :)

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I didn't hate it either. In fact, I found it a lot of fun until the third act where everything fell apart .

Is this supposed to be a U.S. release, or only overseas?

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Stupid movie copying Van Helsing (that movie rocked!), why don't they get an original idea?

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I hope you're being sarcastic, as this character was around years before Van Helsing (the Sommer's version anyway).

Re: Solomon Kane
 

And what about this new Conan movie? Do we really need anther comic book movie?

Re: Solomon Kane
 

;)

Re: Solomon Kane
 

The trailer for this looks pretty damn cool.

I'm almost finished with the R.E.H Conan stories. Kull and Solomon Kane are next.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

US release date? I know it's playing at the Toronto Film Festival.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Hmmm...interesting. Worth a look-see methinks

Re: Solomon Kane
 

Looks like my next 'greatest movie ever!'

Itll be tough as that hasnt happened since Ravenous and 13th Warrior

Re: Solomon Kane
 

I'm totally in.

Re: Solomon Kane
 

This poster is so totally badass:

Re: Solomon Kane
 

This looks like something that should have premiered on the USA channel years ago between reruns of Renegade, Xena, and Hercules.

^ Totally disagree but to each his own. :shrug:
