So it seems like Dominic Sena’s genre period-piece SEASON OF THE WITCH has been doomed since the get-go, does it not? This flick has just been hit with negative twist after negative twist, with the most recent update revealing that the film was heading to the land of re-shoots. And as we all know, that’s never a good sign.
But alas this little diddy has somehow clawed it’s way out of limbo and has once again secured a release date. So when might we be able to watch another unbearable performance from Nicolas Cage’s hair? According to Variety this shite will be hitting theaters on January 7, 2011. Works for me. What do you guys think?
Nicolas Cage stars 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 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.
Along with Cage the flick also stars Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell Moore, Robert Sheehan, Claire Foy, Ulrich Thomsen, Stephen Graham, Christopher Lee and Ada Michelle Loridans (below). Get ready for SEASON OF THE WITCH to finally hit theaters on January 7, 2011! I bet you can’t wait huh?! Start counting down the days folks!
