The film stars
James Purefoy as Solomon Kane as well as Pete Postlethwaite, Max von Sydow, and Rachel Hurd-Wood.

Here's some plot details for the uninitiated!(me included!)

The movie tells 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.

Van Helsing "meats" The Musketeer. Hopefully it will be better than what i just wrote... right before this sentence there, at the start of my comment.

Looking quickly at that top pic, it looks like "Quai Chang" Kane under that hat.

It looks interesting. I'm not familiar with the character, but the plot doesn't sound too special. Then again, it doesn't matter how original it is as much as it does how well it's pulled off. I'll definitely give it a shot.

"THIS SHIT LOOKS LIKE VAN HELSING"

Van Helsing (as in the Hugh Jackman movie) was based on this character. Solomon Kane has been around since the '30s. In fact, most of the "redemption" stories that revolve around a horror genre, were based on this character.
In fact, I would venture as far as to say he was the first, considering the original Dr. Abraham Van Helsing from Bram Stoker's Dracula (the novel) was more just in the business of "knowing" monsters, vs. fighting evil for redemption.

I agree with Sortis, I think the stories are better than the Conan stories, but Conan is still my favorite character for his simplistic charm... Kane is a total badass though, and I am a sucker for internal religious conflict.
