After a long time of wait, some rumours and some times being written on IMDB and then taken down, the official Solomon Kane Facebook Page has released a couple of release dates for some of the areas where Solomon Kane will get a cinema release.

Here is the list of Solomon Kane release dates:

• France – 23rd December 2009
• Russia – 31st December 2009
• Spain – 1st January 2010
• Netherlands – 14th January 2010
• UK – 5th February 2010

Now all the rest of us has to do is sit tight and hope other distributors come out in the open with their dates too or in the case of the US area, buy the movie and release it to a broad audience!

Lionsgate did pick up Solomon Kane for a US release, according to Fangoria. There is no release date, not even a vague one as the plans Lionsgate has with the movie are not yet totally clear. It remains to be seen, they continue, of Solomon Kane will get a cinema release, before going to DVD.

I really hope that Solomon Kane gets a wide US release, with all the advertising shabang the movie deserves. It would break my heart to see this pearl go direct-to-dvd just because the distributors are afraid of anything coming out of the independent market.

UPDATE

The director Michael J. Bassett has posted on his twitter, that the rumour about Lionsgate is not true. This is sad news, let’s hope someone picks up SK for real soon.
