Solomon Kane is a 2009 epic action film directed by Michael J. Bassett based on the pulp magazine character Solomon Kane created in 1928 by Robert E. Howard. James Purefoy stars in the title role.
Despite optioning the rights in 1997, filming did not begin until
January 2008. The film is an origin story for the Kane character and
intended to be the first of a trilogy. The plot follows a redemption
story for Kane, from the end of his life as a privateer, through the salvation of his soul by rescuing a Puritan girl and the beginning of his life as the Puritan avenger of the source material.

It has been a long time coming for Michael J Bassett's Solomon Kane.
When the big screen adaptation of the classic Robert Howard character
arrived at the Toronto International Film Festival in 2009 it was with a
great deal of anticipation. Unfortunately it also happened to arrive
when the industry was in the midst of a major financial squeeze and
distributors simply weren't buying. And so, much like Sean Byrne's The Loved Ones - which also premiered in the TIFF Midnight Madness lineup that year and won the Audience Award - Solomon Kane was left to simply sit on a shelf. Which is a shame because it's rather a lot of fun.
