Season of the Witch Teaser Trailer
Lionsgate has unleashed the first teaser trailer for “Season of the Witch” courtesy of IGN Movies.
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.
Whiteout Review
“Whiteout” has a good premise and a likeable lead, but it goes rapidly downhill and is ultimately disappointing, thanks to confusing direction, an anti-climactic finale and an ‘Is that it?’ plot that makes less sense the more you think about it.
Directed by Dominic Sena (from a script credited to two different sets of brothers – never a good sign), Whiteout stars Kate Beckinsale as US Marshal Carrie Stetko, who’s taken a post at a remote research station in Antarctica in order to escape a traumatic incident in her past. As her posting nears an end, she’s considering turning in her badge, but her departure plans are put on hold by the discovery of a mysterious body on the ice… read more [ViewLondon.co.uk]
It’s all fine, as far as it goes, but that’s not very far. Beckinsale is a trim and athletic actress, but she’s not a very compelling presence, and she’s burdened by too many overdone flashbacks into her tragic past. As her avuncular best friend on the base, Tom Skerritt twinkles and collects a check. As a mysterious newcomer — and possible love interest — Gabriel Macht is every bit as exciting and memorable as he was in last year’s “The Spirit,” and yes, I’m being sarcastic here… read more [nj.com]

“Season Of The Witch” First Official Photo
I guess many of you expect that Nicolas Cage will ruin “Season Of The Witch” what could be an awesome film because many of you don’t like (hate) him as actor. I’m not with you, especially after seeing these photos from the set and this first official still from Columbia Pictures’ “Season Of The Witch” which look pretty good.
You can see Cage in some mediaeval clothing (on the set) riding a horse (official still).
The story revolves around a group of knights in 14th century France who must transport a woman accused of witchcraft to a mountain abbey, where the monks will seek to understand and destroy her powers, believed to be the source of the Black Plague.
Nicolas Cage works again with “Gone in Sixty Seconds” director Dominic Sena for the supernatural thriller “Season of the Witch.” Screenplay was written by Bragi F. Schut.
Ron Perlman, Golden Globe-winning and Emmy-nominated actor best known for his portrayal of the title character in the “Hellboy” franchise, stars alongside Cage in the movie.
Cage’s character is Behman and Perlman plays the role of Felson.
Additional casting for the film includes Stephen Campbell Moore (”The Bank Job” and the upcoming horror “The Children“) as Debelzaq, Robbie Sheehan as Kaylan, Claire Foy as The Girl, and Ulrich Thomsen.
Stephen Graham (role of bank robber Baby Face Nelson in Michael Mann’s “Public Enemies“) plays a swindler and navigator, in 14th-century saga about 14th-century knights transporting a suspected witch.
“Season of the Witch” began shooting in early November in Austria and Hungary and it should be arriving at a theater sometime in 2010.
