Exclusive Interview with James Purefoy on Solomon Kane

February 15, 2010 By 2 Comments

Last week HeyUGuys were invited to a round table interview with James Purefoy, star of Rome, Ironclad and Solomon Kane.

During the course of the interview Purefoy went into a great deal of detail about Solomon Kane, talking about how the story came about, the difficulties of filming in Eastern Europe during the winter, and some of the unfortunate accidents that happened on set, when overworked actors are asked to go hell for leather with big , shiny swords.

He also discussed Ironclad, John Carter of Mars and who would win in a fight between Kane and Conan.

The interview is embedded in full* below. As well as myself and Purefoy, the other voices you will hear are David from Geek Syndicate, and Rob from Orange Film. There may be the occasional piece of strong language, but nothing shocking.

Solomon Kane is released on Friday. You can read our review here.

About Ben Mortimer

In addition to scribbling barely comprehensible copy for HeyUGuys, Ben has spent several years working in low budget film. One might imagine this has given him an insight into the production process - instead it has made him bitter, twisted and convinced of his own superiority. His life ambition is to run Disney.

    Yay for more european action heroes! There are so many out there, so many ideas that are so un-american, that they would never make it to any Hollywood production. We need european heroes, playing in european themed stories (Howard is clearly an american writer, but his tales are quite complex and far from mainstream US fantasy like D&D and Eragon). A very good example would be Geralt of Rivia, the Witcher. Interesting and layered, grey protagonist created by a writer from Poland.

    More Solomon Kane, more european heroes! :D
