Filming Solomon Kane 'gave me nightmares'

Solomon Kane is set in the 16th Century and directed by Michael J. Bassett

He's famous for taking his clothes off in the BBC Two series Rome, but now actor James Purefoy is tackling swashbuckling period drama in Solomon Kane. The movie, which is directed by Michael J. Bassett, could be turned into a trilogy. But filming in the cold, wet conditions has left the British actor with a few scars and some bad memories.

What did you think when you saw the script?

Was he really on fire?

I'm not surprised you've had nightmares. It is a dark film...

In the film actor James Purefoy has to fight a man on fire

You must have got hurt in all that fighting...

Was there anytime on set that you looked around and thought this is quite spooky?

Well it might be useful, you could defend yourself in a fight...

Solomon Kane is in cinemas from Friday 19 February.
