Last week we saw the first trailer for Solomon Kane, the film starring Jame Purefoy playing the Robert E. Howard character. Now, MTV has release a featurette for a film that I don’t think has a U.S distributor yet but will be screened at the Toronto International Film Festival (today).
Synopsis:
Armed with a rapier and flintlock pistols, Solomon Kane dresses in black, his pale face and cold eyes shadowed by a hat. He is a true rogue, blasting and slashing forward on a mission of pillage and plunder in war-torn North Africa in the late 1500s. When the devil lays claim to his hopelessly corrupt soul, Kane escapes only to face the sobering truth: in order to seek redemption, he must renounce his wicked ways and devote himself wholly to a pious life. His new-found piety is put to the test when he is forced to return to his murderous ways to save England from the grasp of evil.
There are also images and a movie poster at BSC to view.
Solomon Kane is directed by Michael J. Bassett (Deathwatch, Wilderness), and joining Purefoy are Max von Sydow, Rachel Hurd-Wood and Pete Postlethwaite.
