A new full-length trailer has appeared online for the upcoming Nicolas Cage-starring fantasy adventure-thriller, Season of the Witch. If you only come to Screen Rant for your film news then you might not have discovered of or seen much from this film but there was a abruptly teaser trailer (a sort of Halloween sneak-peek) that surfaced shortly ago and we now have the fresh full-length trailer to be for it. Season of the Witch stars Nicolas Cage as, “a fourteenth century Crusader who returns on his comrade to a homeland blasted by the Black Plague. A badgered church, deeming sorcery the culprit of the beset, commands the two knights to transport an charged witch to a remote abbey, where monastics will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the plague.” The movie is addressed by Dominic Sena, who’s worked with Cage ahead on the redo of Gone In 60 Seconds (which I hold as a guilty pleasure film, I’ve to admit), and is composed by Threshold creator/writer, Bragi F. Schut. As Alex Billington over at First Showing alleges, the movie would look a good deal better if it weren’t for Cage being in “cheesy mode” again and sticking out like a throbbing sore thumb, apart of Cage that’s surfaced far too often in many his recent movies (Ghost Rider, anybody?).
All the same, if you look past Cage there are a few genuinely creepy and atmospheric appearing moments to be found. The premise is great and the output design is wicked. Agree the trailer out for yourself, thanks to Trailer Addict (it first appeared internet at Fandango): Alongside Cage, Season of the Witch stars Ron Perlman, Claire Foy, Christopher Lee, Stephen Campbell Moore, Robert Sheehan and Stephen Graham – Perlman and Graham are adequate to get me to watch it (the latter is really arming a great career for himself, and, well, the early is frickin’ Hellboy – ’nuff said). As I said, apart by Cage I really like the look of this one. What do you concoct the trailer for Season of the Witch? Does Cage abide for you or does he suit the role well in your eyes? Season of the Witch is set to hit theaters on March 19th, 2010. Sources: screenrant
