Now I have two reasons to be excited for the adaptation of Solomon Kane. While having James Purefoy play the title character was enough to catch my attention -- he is one of my favorite actors today -- the latest poster works as that extra icing on the cake.
Movie Poster: Solomon Kane
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.
Kane's weapons of choice include a rapier, dagger and a couple of badass flintlock pistols.
