Movie Trivia
• Rachel's brother, Patrick Hurd-Wood, plays her brother in the film.
• Director Michael J. Bassett, who also wrote the screenplay, is into extreme measures, so his cast and crew have been working in the cold, the rain, and as much mud as possible to make the film look more real.
• Filmed in Prague, Czech Republic.
• Solomon Kane, played by James Purefoy, is based on the character created by Robert E. Howard in 1928.
• It is hoped that the movie will be the first of a Solomon Kane trilogy.
Quotes By Rachel
"Physically, it was a very demanding role. I was supposed to jump off a cliff and I had to swim in a mind-numbingly cold river in
Prague in the winter. I was wearing a dry suit and everyone on-set was looking after me and swathing me in towels as soon as I got out,
but it was horrifically cold with my body under the water. My head, hair and hands were uncovered and really hurt." - Drama Magazine
Quotes About Rachel
"The heroine, as played by 17-year-old Rachel Hurd-Wood, is not so much a damsel in distress as a very feisty young woman who doesn't think she needs a hero to 'rescue' her." - Daily Mail
"This last few weeks have been a real pleasure as I've had Pete Postlethwaite and Alice Krige on set along with Rachel Hurd-Wood. They're playing a Puritan family who Kane meets and frankly it's been tremendous seeing these actors at work." - Michael J. Bassett, director
