Solomon Kane (2009) - Blu-ray Forum

HelmutNewton · 07-26-2012, 06:40 PM

I noticed that "Solomon Kane" is FINALLY getting a U.S. release (Aug. 24 on iTunes, Sept. 28 in theaters).

Does anyone have any info on a U.S. Blu-ray release?

I just got the UK blu-ray for 5 pounds. I think it ended up being $13 something with shipping.
I'll pass on the Weinstein's release. They'll probably cut the film, give it a new score and create a new happy ending
... and i doubt they'll have all the extras that are on the UK release.

Why such a delayed US release?

Strange that it's also on iTunes before a theatrical release.

I've never known that to happen on iTunes UK before!
Does this sort of release strategy happen a lot in the US?

I thought the UK release was region locked

Well that didn't take long at all.

arcadeforest · 07-26-2012, 10:09 PM

Nice! I've got the UK release and love the film. Glad to see it finally get some exposure over here. Even conversed with the director through his webpage a while back - he seemed to be a decent guy and took the time to answer all my questions. Will go and see this in the theater and pick up the US release as well.

mredman · 07-27-2012, 12:11 PM

its a great movie

Big N' Tasty · 07-27-2012, 01:29 PM

The Dutch version is region free. Audio and Video is top notch plus the movie is pretty good. I have had this movie roughly a year on blu and have enjoyed it.

Aragorn the Elfstone · 08-31-2012, 12:09 AM

I've been curious about this one since I first heard of it a couple years ago. Though the trailer didn't wow me, so I wasn't sure. Well, I just watched the first ten minutes for free on Amazon Instant Video - and count me intrigued! I really liked what I saw and it seems right down my alley. I'm not going to order the whole movie on the computer though; it definitely seems like one I'm going to want to watch in a theater, so I'll just wait until next month.

Almadacr · 08-31-2012, 12:17 AM

I'm watching this right now ( APPLE TV ) and i think is a good movie . I went around to check about reviews on this and the only one less favorable it's right here at BR

As I mentioned above I really liked this film. I've been a fan of James Purefoy since his work in Rome and he does well in the lead as Kane. Liked the late Pete Postlethwaite in this as well.

csdot · 08-31-2012, 12:40 AM

i love this movie, own the UK blu-ray. glad its finally getting a release here.

batlash · 09-13-2012, 05:26 PM

I actually enjoyed Solomon Kane in spite of its faults. As often happens with a less than familiar property, the filmmakers opted to lay out a completely unnecessary origin story for the character rather than base the film on an actual Robert E. Howard story. Had they dived right into Howard material, I think they might delivered a better film.

smeesmay · 09-13-2012, 06:33 PM

snagged this, Mesrine pt 1&2 and Vahalla Rising from a uk member about 6months ago for $20 all together. Haven't got to watch any yet, but all look very promising. I love mindless violence and action

beadelf · 09-14-2012, 12:31 PM

wow this is only just coming out in U.S now! shocked.

its an ok movie. i bought it when it first came out, it does have the late great peter postlethwaite in it

always a bonus!!

Anchor Bay Entertainment and RADiUS-TWC announced today the Blu-ray and DVD release of Solomon Kane for North America on July 16, 2013.

Mikezilla3k · 01-22-2025, 05:14 PM

Anyone else think a Robert Eggers Solomon Kane film would go hard?

drb999 · 01-22-2025, 07:52 PM

I would think so.

He'd be perfect, though I'd assume they'd omit Kane's African friend like the previous film did and keep the action in puritanical England.
