Basset states on his blog:

So we’ve finally been added to the official schedule for this year’s Comic Con. James Purefoy and myself will be in hall H from 12:15 – 1:15 on Sunday 26th to say hi, answer questions and show a few bits and pieces from the film. I’ve never made it to Comic Con before and I’ll be taking in the sites for the Friday and Saturday

– hoping to catch a few sneaky looks at the upcoming blockbusters as well as actually checking out some comics. I noticed that there’s a Gary Gianni retrospective on Saturday which I’ll certainly try and get to as he’s been as responsible as anyone for how Kane looks in all our minds’ eyes. Hope to see some of you there.


The official release of the film is in a holding pattern at the moment. As far as I know, they are still looking for a distributor. However, from those lucky few that have seen a screening of the film, the reviews often state it is "the best sword and sorcery movie I have ever seen."

This is the one film that I have always looked forward to and every review I have seen (of both the movie and the director's talent) has given me nothing but hope of its greatness.

For anyone interested in reading the Solomon Kane stories, they will not take you long at all to read them.

This is the edition of stories I have.

It has every single Solomon Kane short story, and is only a little over 400 pages (including extras).

I highly suggest it!

@Anil@ the hat is similar to D's but the rest of the outfit is nothing like D.....if that is what your talking about, and if not it matters not because they are amazing movies and so is Ninja Scroll the series included.

R. E. Howard's original description of Kane was actually the inspiration for both Vampire Hunter D's and Van Helsing's looks.

@J.Falcon@
I didn't know that about Kane.... that's interesting

Rumor is they are going to be making live action versions of D and Ninja Scroll.... if done right those could be amazing.... they have been in the works for sometime though so who knows when we are going to actually see them.

"Thomas Jane would be an ideal Kane."

I agree, I think Jane would have the perfect look and feel, but from what I understand, Purefoy nailed it!
