POSTER: SOLOMON KANE
James Purefoy would have made an awesome Frank Castle but instead of starring in what will no doubt be a sub-par sequel to THE PUNISHER, he is starring in his own potential franchise based on Robert E. Howard's (he created CONAN too) original writings. He will be starring as SOLOMON KANE, a 16th century Puritan swordsman who has been cursed by his violent and brutal lifestyle and therefore decides to change his ways but when dark forces threaten the land, he has to rise and fight once more. Such dark forces include vampires, ghosts and other such monsters. The character of KANE has influenced many adventurers down the years, no one more so than Stephen Sommers' 2004 movie VAN HELSING. This new adaptation has to avoid making it look like that movie as much as possible and so far they haven't done such a great job (although I do like this poster)...
