This is a new British historical fantasy (set around 1610) opening on Feb 19. It is based on the character created by Conan author Texan R E Howard. James Purefoy plays the Devon Puritan swordsman (Purefoy was born in Taunton) which is planned to be part of a trilogy. Solomon Kane wiki
I just learned of this movie last week and ordered a collection of Robert Howard's Solomon Kane stories. They are very engaging... although the author likes to use "sullen" way too much. In October I devised a Puritans vs. monsters skirmish scenario. I'll have to revive that project.
