Two Behind the Scenes Featurettes and a Commentary on Season of the Witch

*Today, two new behind-the-scenes featurettes are available for Season of the Witch starring Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman. This clips are inside and here, Ed Sum comments on this upcoming film. Is Nicolas Cage still a relevant action hero? Read Sum's discussion and then decide for yourself:

The New Year will kick-start with the Season of the Witch, a film starring Nicolas Cage (Ghost Rider, National Treasure) and Ron Perlman (Hellboy). In this supernatural action adventure film, Cage and Perlman plays a Crusader and side-kick duo who return home only to find their world besieged by the Black Plague.

The Church believes that a witch is responsible and they command the two heroes to escort her to a remote monastery to perform an ancient rite and to cure the land of this blight. While this film certainly looks like a variation of Stephen Sommer’s, Van Helsing, the question many audiences will ask is: does Cage have a ghost of a chance to regain his action hero status?

Check out the clips "Behman" and "Deliver the Witch" inside.

The Season of the Witch plot details:

"Oscar winner Nicolas Cage and Ron Perlman star in this supernatural action adventure about a heroic Crusader and his closest friend who return home after decades of fierce fighting. Here they find their world destroyed by the Plague.

Continues...

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" (Trailer).
