Todd’s Movie Blog

I’ve been surfing the web looking for any news on the upcoming movie Solomon Kane.  The character is one of Robert E. Howard’s less well known creations.  In the handful of stories Howard published in the thirties, Kane was  a Seventeenth Century Puritan who tracks a murderer from London to Africa, where he encounters witch doctors, vampires, and other nasty supernatural creatures.  The movie changes this a bit by having Kane a damned soul fighting evil to atone for his past sins.  Originally supposed to have been released in Europe back in March, it is now scheduled for an overseas release in October.  No news yet on when a domestic release is scheduled.
