Back in the day when Solomon Kane was still in active production, they faced financial challenges due to currency fluctuation in Czech Republic as has been reported by screendaily. The movie was budgeted and planned in 2006 and when shooting started the currency rate had changed a lot. The article also features another production shot of Michael J. Bassett and some words on the pricing of the film itself. (Solomon Kane was shot for $25 Million)

The choice for Prag itself was not an accidental one, as Producer Paul Berrow said in the article, they chose the location on purpose because the skill set of the people they could hire there met their quality goals.

Interesting to see that something as abstracted to the average person as currency fluctuation can really push the boundaries of the possible if you handle several millions of dollars producing a movie. We can all be glad that in the end it turned out positive for Solomon Kane and that we soon will see a most likely excellent film on the big screen featuring the dark fantasy puritan.
