The teaser trailer returns in hi-res
Lionsgate is out to spook audiences this weekend with its teaser trailer for Season of the Witch. The preview debuted earlier this week, but we have it now in hi-res for your viewing pleasure below. In addition to that, we’ve also scored the full synopsis.
Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, Stephen Campbell, Robert Sheehan, Claire Foy, Ulrich Thomsen, Stephen Graham and Christopher Lee in this period tale, directed by Dominic Sena. The script – which has been circulating for a few years now – is said to be solid and we’re digging on what we see!
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.
Season of the Witch opens March 19, 2010.
