Cover art has not yet been revealed, but word did leak out that special features on the Blu-ray will include a commentary track, deleted scenes, two featurettes, an alternate ending and the trailer. Full details are expected in the coming weeks.
The fantasy/action film, as you may recall, hit theaters on the first weekend of the year back in January. It’s directed by Dominic Sena (SWORDFISH, WHITEOUT) and written by Bragi F. Schut (“THRESHOLD”). Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman and Claire Foy (below) star.
Nicolas Cage star as medieval knight Behmen, who undertakes a mission pitting him against a devious witch, and making him the last hope for the world against an ancient, dark force. His faith broken by years of battle as a crusader, Behmen returns to central Europe to find his homeland decimated by the Black Plague.
While searching for food and supplies at the Palace at Marburg, Behmen and his trusted companion, Felson (Ron Perlman) are apprehended and ordered by the dying Cardinal to deliver a young peasant girl ¬ believed to be the witch responsible for the Plague to a remote abbey where her powers can be destroyed.
Behmen agrees to the assignment but only if the peasant girl is granted a fair trial. As he and five others set off on this dangerous journey, they realize with mounting dread that the cunning girl is no ordinary human, and that their mission will pit them against an evil that even in these dark times they never could have imagined.
