new scenes?[edit]

Article's Production section currently says "The film is currently shooting new scenes reported to be a prologue at the Korda Studios near Budapest." The moviejungle.com reference is dated October 2009 (update Production section?), but makes no mention of new scenes being shot (add {{Citation needed}} to Production section?). --EarthFurst (talk) 23:49, 17 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Plot?[edit]

Was the plot description written by a machine, or someone for whom English was not their first language? What, for instance, does a "mythically hostile wilderness " mean? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 124.197.15.138 (talk) 22:28, 31 December 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sounds great to me! A wilderness (dark forest) which is dangerous AND entchanting (mythical). Germanic people believed in mythical powers that dwell in their beautiful forests--and they still do. This English language is the true English language, spoken by people of wisdom and academics, not your MTV-Gabber of the "modern" although! 91.65.18.253 (talk) 17:53, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Critical reception[edit]

The reviews sampled in the "Critical reception" section are the earliest reviews and can be replaced by more mainstream critics' reviews when the weekend gets here. Erik (talk | contribs) 03:31, 6 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Images in "Cast" section[edit]

Regarding the images in the "Cast" section, I had them below the cast list because I was concerned with a squeezed look in smaller resolutions, since there would be two columns and a pair of images in the same area. (Think text being sandwiched between two images, for example.) I'm personally fine with either presentation, but I felt like having the images below the cast list was "safer" in terms of universal presentation. Erik (talk | contribs) 14:59, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I hadn't thought about smaller resolutions, but the way it was before, at least on my display, there was a large white square on the right of the cast list. I am not too worried about the sandwiched list as it is essentially a list of five-word entries, I can't imagine the sandwiching would inhibit readability. Also, I don't really mind the images below the list, but I think this does flow better (it doesn't have as much white space). BOVINEBOY2008 15:30, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
According to WP:ACCESS#Resolution, we should be able to accommodate 800x600 resolution. I looked for a tool to check for that and found a Web Developer extension that can do this. I uploaded a screenshot, and this is what it looks like. I think it's better for the images to quash the prose than the bulleted items, which should be more easily read left to right. I do realize that we don't really consider accessibility in this regard... maybe we should? Erik (talk | contribs) 15:45, 11 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]
Well either way, that 800x600 resolution screenshot looks horrendous so it probably would be best to keep the image down. BOVINEBOY2008 22:56, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Visual effects[edit]

I added a section about visual effects to the article, and it would benefit from an image of the demon. My reference, AWN, only has a close-up or an incomplete transformation. None of the production stills shared for promotion show the demon. If anyone can procure an image of the demon (probably from the DVD when it comes out), please add it to the section. Ideally, the image should show the demon fully to illustrate the visual effects crew's efforts in designing the body shape and the wings. Erik (talk | contribs) 20:48, 12 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Austria[edit]

hi, the film plays in austria not in england. they are german knights of the teutonic order and the hre. the village at the beginning is villach in southern austria. 217.187.5.21 (talk) 08:44, 16 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Teutonic Knights? That is very much correct, but the village is Marburg, as the priest says. Marburg had a university, monastery and castle--still does, of course. Therefore the film plays in Germany, German-Austria was part of the Holy Roman Empire at this time. 91.65.18.253 (talk) 17:48, 5 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]
The film doesn't play in Germany, "Germany" didn't even exist back then. The movie takes place in Styria which belonged to the Duchy of Austria and which was part of the Holy Roman Empire. Source: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Duchy_of_Austria
And you are also mistaken about Marbor (Marburch). This is the Maribor the movie refers to. It was located in Styria before it became part of what is now Slovenia. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.98.212.2 (talk) 01:40, 2 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]
Germany certainly existed at the time. Contemporaries write about it. It was a region and nominal kingdom within the HRE. Styria didn't belong to Austria but was a duchy in its own rights.--MacX85 (talk) 13:46, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Burg Kreuzenstein[edit]

filmed at: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Burg_Kreuzenstein —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.127.56.148 (talk) 19:05, 1 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Marburg[edit]

The city of Marburg in Styria is what is today Maribor in Slovenia. It's not the German Marburg. But both Marburg and Maribor are in German called Marburg but to avoid confusion, the Germans call the Slovenian town Marburg an der Drau. The link in the German article is about the Slovenian town, whereas the English article directs you to the German town. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 89.212.106.52 (talk) 09:26, 5 July 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Why was Anna scared of Debelzeq?[edit]

Anna's dialogue hints Debelzeq raped her while she was in prison. Shouldn't this be added rather than leaving it nebulous? 207.216.222.107 (talk) 05:54, 16 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

They were in different cells, so that couldn't have happened, not even off-camera. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.139.81.0 (talk) 22:37, 8 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Baal?[edit]

How do we know the demon is Baal? Does anyone name him in the film or is his name in the credits? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.134.83.50 (talk) 22:50, 12 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]
