happyspector -- Robert E. Howard's character Solomon Kane, which would star James Purefoy from Rome as Kane.The big reason I'm linking, other than this could be an uber-cool film? He includes plenty of illustrated Kane goodness.
Of course, this might not bear fruit -- I remember a proposed Bran Mak Morn film that Peter "Friday Night Lights" Berg was supposedly going to make a few years ago, and that didn't happen -- but, still, a chance for coolness.
