Turns out that there is a movie coming out starring a creator called Solomon Kane. I found out about this from ReelComix.com and I think I might need to check it out.
Wikipedia reports that the film will tell the origins of Solomon Kane and is hoped to be the first of a trilogy of movies. When the story opens Kane is a mercenary of Queen Elizabeth I fighting in Africa, but after an encounter with a demon, The Reaper, he realizes he must seek redemption or have his soul damned to Hell. He returns to England and lives a life of peace, converting to puritanism, but soon the doings of an evil sorcerer upset his plans and he must take up arms again.[1]
“James Purefoy has been cast as puritan [sic] swordsman Solomon Kane in a movie of the same name to be made from the stories of “Conan the Barbarian” creator Robert E. Howard. Kane is a 16th century soldier who learns that his brutal and cruel actions have damned him but is determined to redeem himself by living peaceably. But he finds himself dragged out of retirement for a fight against evil
Gran it before now, I've never heard of this character but I do like the Conan character that Robert E. Howard dreamed up, by Crom. I'll probably do some research to see if Howard's vision for Solomon Kane is realzed on screen.
