Season of the Witch Trailer Looking Good
I’ve been following Season of the Witch since it was first announced last year. The story, which finds a group of medieval knights charged with transporting a witch, who may be responsible for the black plague, to a mountain monastery sounded pretty cool. The cast includes Nic Cage (who, let’s face it, guarantees nothing in terms of quality these days) and genre fave Ron Perlman. The other potential negative here is that the film was directed by Dominic “any shot that lasts over 1.5 seconds without an cut is too long” Sena. So, I’ve hopeful that this thing might turn out well, but there were some variables working against it.
Fandango debuted the first trailer for the film, and I’ll be damned if it doesn’t look good. If they’d managed to keep the goddamn stupid Marilyn Manson music out of it, I’d be even more excited. Who puts fucking Marilyn Manson in a trailer for a film set in medieval times? Please, fire whoever made that call. I’ve got nothing against Manson, it’s just that I’ve seen a lot of people ruin horror movies and trailers by including his music in trailers where they don’t fit. So, please, cut it the fuck out already.
Anyway, enough ranting from me. Check out the trailer below. Season of the Witch will be in theaters on March 19th, 2010.

This movie does look good. I’m with you on the Manson track in the trailer. Doesn’t fit at all.

To be fair to Dominic Sena, “Kalifornia” was a kick-ass movie. I keep hoping that he rediscovers that form.

Looks decent, though I hope that the entire movie wasn’t filmed at night.

Nice pull on Kalifornia. No one ever remembers that he directed that.
