"Season of the Witch" - Nicolas Cage as a Medieval Warrior in Chainmail
Films about the Middle Ages have become increasingly popular in the past few years. The trend continues with the new Lionsgate film, "Season of the Witch," starring Nicolas Cage.
Online, December 29, 2010 (Newswire.com) - "Season of the Witch," starring Nicolas Cage and featuring his honorable comrade, Ron Perlman. The film depicts the stars as 14th Century Knights, returning home from a grueling Crusade battle.
"Season of the Witch" continues the recent mega-hit medieval movies such as "300," "Gladiator," and "Braveheart." It is pegged to hit theaters early 2011.
The Medieval thriller stars Cage as the medieval knight, Behemen. When Behemen and his comrade, played by Ron Perlman, return to their homeland after a crusade, they find their city destroyed by the malicious the Black Plague, now referred to by historians as the Black Death.
Upon their return, Cage and Perlman are instructed to transport an accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey for purification. At this time, the church believed the Black Plague was the result of sorcery and witch craft. The monks intend to perform spiritual rituals in order to cleanse this woman of her powers. The knights agree to the assignment as long as the church promises to give a fair trial upon her arrival at the abbey.
The knights, Cage and Perlman, set out on their journey accompanied by five other warriors. The journey does not run as smoothly as planned and soon the men realize there is some other extreme evil force accompanying them. The witch they are transporting is in fact no ordinary human being.
"Season of the Witch" is now scheduled for release into theaters on January 7, 2011. Medieval film buffs should stay tuned for this harrowing tale of honor and deception.
