Re: Alatriste
Glad to share, I was thinking some of you here did not know about this.
Here is a link for a trailer(probably contains spoilers - I watched it for the first time just now). It has English naration and some English subtitles.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vAcrIr84OdQ
It seems it is being released in different countries between Sept and Dec. I'll find a current list and put it up when I can. It looks prety exciting.
It is based on 5 comic/cartoon style books written by Yanez Diaz. Set in the 17th century, during the inqusition.
Some one on another site wrote an english translation of the synopsis of the story . I have asked permition to post it here, and will do so if/when it is granted.

Re: Alatriste
Here is an English translation of a synopsis that was in Spanish done by CalforniaGirl6666 at VFB and Paddy at V-W.
Thanks ladies for saying I could put this here! 
Alatriste
In Imperial Spain of the 17th century, Diego Alatriste, a courageous soldier in his Majesty’s service, fights in a war in the cold lands of Flanders. In an ambush by the Dutch, Balboa, his friend and comrade in arms, is mortally wounded. Alatriste listens to a last request from the lips of his friend and promises to fulfill it: he will care for his son Inigo and keep him away from a career as a soldier.
On his return to Madrid, Alatriste finds a dying empire. The same Spain in which Quevedo and Gongora write their verses, Velazquez paints his paintings, and Lope de Vega gets his plays performed, is collapsing under the impassivity of its King. The court of Philip the IV, dominated by intrigues and corruption, is handled by Count-Duke of Olivares as he pleases, with the support of the Holy Inquisition.
Alatriste himself, who ekes out a living by hiring his sword, will be involved in one of these intrigues when he is hired together with another mercenary, the Italian Gualterio Malatesta, to kill two mysterious persons who are traveling incognito to Madrid. The future of Alatriste will be marked when, suspecting there is something shady about this sinister job, he decides to spare the life of the two foreigners and confronts Malatesta who wanted to finish the job. That night he will win an enemy for all of his life.
When Alatriste discovers whose lives he has saved, he understands that he will have to confront forces too powerful to fight with the sword
But he will not be alone, his inseparable comrades on the battlefield, the extremely beautiful Maria de Castro and above all, Inigo, now almost a son to him, will be the unconditional support of the Captain and key characters in this grand adventure story.

Re: Alatriste
This is apperently getting mixed reviews. As with LOTR the books have die hard fans who are upset with how some of it was done. Some people who went to see it in Toronto have said it was a bit hard to follow. I'll still see it on DVD I'm sure. Don't know if it will even get a theater release in the states.
