Just when the atrocity nearly left the last of your brain cells, Relativity has brought back Dominic Sena‘s uber-delayed Season of the Witch. The Nicolas Cage-starrer was set to come out last March, then pulled at the last minute. They were looking for “for the best release date” and it turns out they landed on the worst release date, the first week in January. It is easy to see from the new trailer what took place during the reshoots this September. Compared to the dark and dreary first trailer we now have some Lord of the Rings-esque bright battle sequences. Check it out below via Apple as well as a new poster.
Synopsis: Oscar(r) winner Nicolas Cage (National Treasure, Ghost Rider) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy, Hellboy II, Sons of Anarchy) star in this supernatural action adventure about a heroic Crusader and his closest friend who return home after decades of fierce fighting, only to find their world destroyed by the Plague. The church elders, convinced that a girl accused of being a witch is responsible for the devastation, command the two to transport the strange girl to a remote monastery where monks will perform an ancient ritual to rid the land of her curse. They embark on a harrowing, action-filled journey that will test their strength and courage as they discover the girl’s dark secret and find themselves battling a terrifyingly powerful force that will determine the fate of the world.
Season of the Witch hits theaters January 7th, 2011.
Will Season of the Witch be a bigger disaster than Whiteout? Does the new trailer convince you otherwise?
