We just got a brand spankin’ new poster for the “Nicolas Cage wears a 14th Century wig” period adventure SEASON OF THE WITCH
(see above). Hoping to distract from Cage’s over-acting is a respectable cast including Christopher Lee, Claire Foy, and Ron Perlman. Check out the synopsis, followed by the trailer.
In the supernatural thriller SEASON OF THE WITCH, Nicolas Cage stars as a 14th Century Crusader who returns with his comrade (Ron Perlman) to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague. A beleaguered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the plague, commands the two knights to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.
A priest (Stephen Campbell Moore), a grieving knight (Ulrich Thomsen), an itinerant swindler (Stephen Graham), and a headstrong youth who can only dream of becoming a knight (Robert Sheehan) join a mission troubled by mythically hostile wilderness and fierce contention over the fate of the girl.
When the embattled party arrives at the abbey, a horrific discovery jeopardizes the knight’s pledge to ensure the girl fair treatment and pits them against an inexplicably powerful and destructive force.
The Dominic Sena film comes out on MARCH 19th.
