Could this reek of panic?!?
Five weeks away from adhering to its March 19th release date, Lionsgate has decided to halt the exhibition of Dominic Sena’s gothic horror film SEASON OF THE WITCH. WTF???
According to Variety, Lionsgate has yet to slate a new release date for the Nic Cage and Ron Perlman flick. Perhaps the move is in response to having to compete with the star-studded actioner REPO MEN, not to mention an additional three high profile films due the same day. Either way you dice her, it looks like we’ll have to wait some time to see Nic Cage and his ghastly hairdo ward off the black plague.
Friday a Lionsgate spokeswoman had this to say: “We’re looking for the best release date.” No shite, Downey.
I know y’all are crushed over this news, so I’ll redirect you to a foursome of amusing new quads for the film we found earlier this week (get at ’em HERE).
Synopsis: 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 (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.
Stay up, I’m sure a new date will be had soon!
The incomparable Monica Bellucci, Cage’s co-star in THE SORCERER’s APPRENTICE!
