DoG: Talking of Solomon Kane, I’d like more…

JP: Yeah, so do I. The trouble is I don’t know what’s happening with any release in America, I don’t even know if there’s a DVD release in America. You know I’m geek enough to look on Rotten Tomatoes and I see 83%, and I see other films which are way lower than 83% positive reviews, top critics, all that kind of stuff… I am as perplexed as you, I get rather perplexed about it because you’re going hang on I don’t understand, here’s a British film which got very good reviews, that looked good, had a size to it…. I was watching the BAFTAS on Saturday night, they do a long five minutes stretch of clips of all the films that have been made here and you go where…? Am I sounding bitter, I probably am (laughter). Just a bit lost, and a bit upset by it, because you go Christ that was a good film, and I don’t get it. What’s the embarrassment?

I know that people have a slight snobbishness about sword and sorcery movies; there’s that, because it’s a bit geeky, but then I like the idea that ours did something slightly different with it, you know took it very seriously, the genre. It was very bleak and dark, and wet and rainy, and had a lot of that…
