I just saw a fan-filmed preview of a Solomon Kane movie. With the fantastic reprints of Howard's books, and the comic book series of Kane that is running now, I believe, the addition of this film (linked through from Scalzi's cite) has me wondering. While the efforts of the Martin-school of fantasy, the new wave and the 'new weird-ish' speculative fiction has been away from stories of black and white characters, blurring the lines of good and evil, a return to a Howard paradigm is a pretty frightening possibility. Now, I know spec-fic film has always had a much more difficult time creating complex envionments, making a big-screen version of a sword-and-gun weilding Puritan who righteously dispatches the ugly hordes of evil who populate the dark corners of the colonial globe perhaps seems a step too far.
Might we have a 12 foot Uncle Sam munching on the wiggling corpses of communists, socialists, health-care reformers, and Sino-Muslim terrorists?
