season of the witch poster1 New Poster For Season of the Witch   Starring Nicolas Cage & Ron Perlman

Season of the Witch, the long delayed supernatural thriller starring Nicolas Cage has found itself a new poster in time for it’s January 7th 2011 release. The numerous delays haven’t instilled a great amount of hope in me for this film (it was originally scheduled for a March 19th 2010 release), the trailer wasn’t exactly the most confidence inducing thing I’ve seen either. I do love Nicolas Cage though, he’s always entertaining, even in bad movies he cracks me up. Season of the Witch also stars Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell Moore, Robert Sheehan, Claire Foy, Ulrich Thomsen, Stephen Graham and Christopher Lee.

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.
