Behold Images From TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE (The SWORD AND THE SORCERER Pseudo-Sequel)!!

Published at:  Jan 05, 2009 12:33:31 PM CST



Merrick here...


A while back, we learned that director Albert Pyun was ramping up to shoot TALES OF AN ANCIENT EMPIRE, a pseudo-sequel to THE SWORD AND THE SORCERER (HERE).

This came as quite a surprise, given that the film was promised at the end of SWORD (released back in 1982) and was widely assumed to have been forgotten in the subsequent 27 years.

Nevertheless, TALES began filming December 16 and we have some images from the first and second days of shooting.


From Day 1:

Kevin Sorbo as Aedan





Melissa Ordway as Tanis






Janelle Taylor as Rajan





Inbar Lavi as Alana





Here are some shots from the second day of filming: Sorbo with "Drooler", and Ordway looking for thieves. CLICK TO ENLARGE.







No sign of the three bladed sword yet, but it is in the film & we'll try to nab a shot of it if opportunity allows.



We just received two more images from the set. Sorbo -vs- "Iberian", and Sorbo meeting Ordway. CLICK TO ENLARGE.

    Does he make an appearance in this film? I absolutely love "The Sword and the Sorcerer," (I have the theatrical poster on my wall) and I hope there is at least an attempt to capture the mood, tone and general vibe of that crazy film. It's part Errol Flynn swashbuckler, part medievel James Bond gadget flick, part 80s horror show. I just hope this isn't another Sci-Fi Channel movie of the week.

    by the reluctant austinite

    Maybe the best thing that will happen from this is that Anchor Bay or Blue Underground will do a new transfer of "The Sword & the Sorcerer" on Blu-ray and dvd. I love the movie, but was always disappointed in the dvd transfer. The print they used was way too dark and a lot of the color looked faded. And maybe, if we're lucky, Lee Horsely will read this and contact Harry to update us on his life and career and tell us his feelings about this film.

    No laughter or humor of any kind: check
    I like Sorbo, but I'm already cringing about the poorly titled "Tales of an Ancient Empire." Why not just tell us which empire it IS? And why not the singular "Tale" of an ancient empire? It's not a miniseries, right? Therefore, it's a tale, not tales.

    Without Horsley I'm not half as excited. We haven't had a truly charismatic swashbuckling hero who can actually throw a punch and bed a wench since Talon rode off in the sunset. I like Sorbo, but he always comes off a little too Alan Alda nice. Talon was a freakin' womanizer and made no apologies. Oh, and then there's the fact that Pyun hasn't made a movie as good as The Sword and the Sorcerer since . . . well, since he made The Sword and the Sorcerer.

    ...is looking forward to a sequel to S&S as much as I am but these images are worrying me. I know it's a bit flimsy, but the women are making me uneasy. I fear a "Pirates effect" -- you know, like those porn epics: they spend loads of cash on costumes, locations and special effects but when the pirate chicks open their mouths the illusion is shattered by hideously vapid Valley accents. The chicks in these pics look like cosplay losers. Take Kathleen Beller in the original -- you TOTALLY bought the idea of her being a character in some sort of fantasy world. Likewise when it came to Sandahl Bergman in Conan. Seriously, how fucking hard can it be?

    I know you're the guy behind Nemesis, Captain "rubber-ears" America and The Omega Doom, but don't let me down, Albert Pyun.

    That's EXACTLY what pisses me off about Sorbo in these movies. I mean, he looks the part, he ain't chopped liver as an actor - can it really be that fuckin' hard to put the effort in and learn to speak in a fantasy-world kind of accent? Why does he open his mouth and this stupid all-American jock accent come out of his mouth, when he's meant to be a fucking medieval warrior?

    by spud mcspud

    Whether you dig who's making it or not, SOLOMON KANE is of much more interest to us than this pseudo-SATS sequel. The minute I saw Sorbo in this hsit it devalued it as a SWORD & THE SORCEROR sequel - now it's just a shitty sci-fi lazy-ass sword-and-sandal disappointer that just happens to be set in Talon's world.

    SOLOMON KANE, on the other hand, is one of the three coolest characters ever created by Robert E Howard, the others being CONAN (obviously) and KING KULL (who Sorbo already managed to fuck up so much that NOTHING will EVER make a Kull movie cool again, EVER. Fucking Tia Carrere as the VILLAIN? FUUUUUUCK YOOOOOOOOUUU!!! FUCK YOU, SORBO!!!)

    Without an Arnie-centric KING CONAN (which should by rights be based on CONAN OF THE ISLES) the only hope we have for a truly great Howard adaptation rests on the very capable shoulders of James Purefoy (an extremely under-rated actor, see A KNIGHT'S TALE, and - by the way - a gent of a man in real life) and a movie based on the coolest evil-hunting Puritan ever created!

    Harry, in the name of Albert Pyun, WE NEED SOME SOLOMON KANE NEWS!!!

    by media messiah

    This makes no since not to use the original title, and I would appreciate having some of the original actors back. Kevin Sorbo must have paid for this role by supplying some of the financing, but, as an actor Sorbo is finished thanks to that mess of a show Andromeda...and several bad films that he did?BTW, this movie looks cheaper than the original, which, at the time, had a sort of charming low budget feel because it couldn't be helped, no digital effects back then, but there is absolutely no excuse now, non whatsoever, for this new movie to look so cheap. This thing will go straight to DVD and be forgotten about.

    by spud mcspud

    First noticed him in John Carpenter's Fuckups - I mean VAMPIRES. Apart from casting James Woods right (he was great as Jack Crow, but as the novel's Jack Crow, not the woefully underwritten two-dimensional movie Jack Crow) they got it right with Thomas Ian Griffiths. I didn't even notice the fat no-talent alkie Baldwin on screen when Thomas Ian was there. He's definitely one of those "shit film but he's-great-in-it" actors, and he was also the best thing in that fucking shitfest KULL.

    And if they ever decide to make the movie of Ian Astbury's life... TIG's your man!

    Terry Silver was a friggin' beast. He was so just damn gleefully evil. "Now the real pain begins, Danny-boy!" "I love it when he pounds him!" "Since the moment I met you, I've been making you do things you don't want to do!" No one put that pussy LaRusso (Daniel-san didn't even bag the chick in the 3rd film) thru more shit than Silver did, making his knuckles bleed and bruising up his shins. I wish Johnny from the first film had come back and been LaRusso's Apollo Creed. But I do love that the film is about a couple of grown men just wanting to see the snot beat out of a punk kid purely for petty, sadistic revenge. There is something deeply warped about that. And I've always been amazed that Griffith is actually YOUNGER than Ralph Macchio in real life. Thomas Ian Griffith ... sorely underrated actor, if ya ask me.

    finally, a promise made so many years ago has been kept. Now if only Mel Brooks would make History of the World PartII...

    TylerDurden3395 - OMG!!!

    by spud mcspud

    TIG was Terry Silver? Why the hell didn't I already know that?!?

    Pure badassery in the legendary KARATE KID franchise. But I do kind of have a sneaking fondness for Hilary Swank in THE NEXT KARATE KID - she was young and rebellious without being to annoying. Plus it had Pat Morita catching an arrow fired by a Zen archer - and monks doing Zen Bowling!

    ZEN BOWLING!!!

    Wrap your frontal lobes round that concept awhile, if you will. Pure unfiltered genius :D

    The Judge from SOCIETY > Terry Silver

    by spud mcspud

    Best villain of 1989? I know the movie SOCIETY came out in the UK in 1990, but it was MADE in 1989, so...

    Anyhoo. I'd rather be kicked to death by the most badass ponytail since Seagal TWICE than face having a dough-faced rich bastard corrupt old-boys'-club Judge shove his rubbery hand up my ass and turn me inside out. Fuck THAT shit.

    Judge from Society = Best Villain of 1989. Now I want a crossover movie: MANIAC COP VS SOCIETY. Brian Yuzna and Screaming Mad George could retire on that gem!

    Please dont under-estimate Sorbo

    by arcadiands

    The guy is like the Bruce Campbell of cheesy action movies. He "gets" that they are cheesy, and rolls with that - he plays up the cheesy because he knows thats the deal he made.

    It'll be a straight-to-youtube movie.

    But Melissa Ordway could make my list if I could see more of her.

    Heh heh.

    If you know what I mean by "more of her"?

    Heh heh.

    Yeah, but Sorbo plays everything as Sorbo in whatever costume he happens to be in. Bruce Campbell can actually change accents and stuff when required (exhibit a: BUBBA HO-TEP). Sorbo? Not so much.

    kabong: Ka-BOING! Know EXACTLY what you're saying. Here's hoping for titty shots in this movie, then maybe it won't be a complete sword-and-suckage DTV shitefest.

    Pyun's NEMESIS film was a ton of fun...but

    by monkey_king

    it ripped off plenty of scenes from famous HK films, including PEACE HOTEL(which was ghost directed by John Woo).

    by le phantom

    If Kevin Sorbo is in it, it will be a made for DVD piece of shit! Come on...Why not get Hasslehoff to be in it to give the project gravitas!
