Remember reading about a medieval thriller film called Season of the Witch starring Nicolas Cage, many moons ago?
Initially scheduled to open in March this year in the US, the original distributor Lionsgate pulled it from that date and now, according to The Wrap, Relativity Media have control of it and a January 2011 date for the US has been pencilled in.
The film (which also stars Ron Perlman, Stephen Graham and Christopher Lee) follows two medieval knights as they accompany a young woman accused of witchcraft to her trial at a remote abbey. The film is directed by Dominic Sena (who previously worked with Cage on Gone In 60 Seconds)
Normally this kind of delay would spell a direct-to-video release but the company must think it still has the potential to make some kind of dent at the box office.
We’ll let you know when a UK dated has been scheduled.
