Final Synopsis for Season of the Witch

Posted by Anna with No Comments

Lionsgate’s supernatural thriller Season of the Witch stars Nicolas Cage as medieval knight Behmen, who undertakes a mission pitting him against a devious witch and making him the last hope for the world against an ancient and dark force. His faith broken by years of battle as a crusader, Behmen returns to central Europe to find his homeland decimated by the Black Plague. While searching for food and supplies at the Palace at Marburg, Behmen and his trusted companion, Felson (Ron Perlman), are apprehended and ordered by the dying Cardinal to deliver a young peasant girl believed to be the witch responsible for the Plague to a remote abbey where her powers can be destroyed. Behmen agrees to the assignment but only if the peasant girl is granted a fair trial. As he and five others set off on this dangerous journey, they realize with mounting dread that the cunning girl is no ordinary human and that their mission will pit them against an evil that even in these dark times they never could have imagined.

Full-Length Trailer for Season of the Witch

Posted by Anna with 4 Comments

Following up on the teaser trailer that appeared online last month, Lionsgate has released a full-length trailer for Season of the Witch, which hits theatres on March 19, 2010.

In 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.

Little Claire Foy

Posted by Mia with No Comments

from Evening Standard Magazine / by Emily Bearn

The star of BBC’s Little Dorrit looks appropriately meek and Dickensian. But the girl who’s going on to Hollywood to star with Nicolas Cage is an actress with great expectations…

All hail the 24-year-old Miss Claire Foy of Southwark, who is set very fair to be the next big thing. She is currently topping the bill in the BBC’s autumn blockbuster, a lavish 15-part production of Dickens’ Little Dorrit, and Vogue has declared that she will be the brightest star of the season, placing her at the top of its list of the 40 hottest phenomena to watch out for. Foy, it claimed, is more desirable than a bijou bag.

I have caught up with her at a hotel bar in Soho, peopled by ornamental Buddhas, to which Foy has been chaperoned by a BBC publicist. They have arrived early, and Foy has discreetly hidden herself away at a table in the corner. Dressed in layers of vests and baggy T-shirts, and with a twinge of estuary in her accent (she grew up in Aylesbury), she’s a far cry from the girl in Little Dorrit‘s chocolate-boxy publicity stills. She looks like a student – which, until she graduated from the Oxford School of Drama last year, is what she was. Even so, she appears remarkably undazzled by the sudden fuss being made of her. ‘It’s all complete bollocks,’ she says emphatically, wresting the lid off a bottle of water. ‘I mean, someone said I was hotter than patterned tights! All that stuff is unreal. It’s like a credit card; it doesn’t mean anything.’

Shooting for ‘Season of the Witch’ started last week

from Daily Mail

Claire Foy, who – despite being so good in the BBC TV serial Little Dorrit – has moved quickly to ensure she doesn’t get typecast in angelic roles. Claire is playing a sorceress in Season Of The Witch opposite Nicolas Cage and Stephen Campbell Moore. Shooting begins next week in Hungary. The film is set in the 14th century and features tales of witchcraft, religious intolerance and the Black Death. Meanwhile, Eddie Marsan, who plays Mr Pancks the intrepid sleuth in Little Dorrit, is a Scotland Yard detective in Guy Ritchie’s Sherlock Holmes movie. ‘I’m Starse of the Yard,’ he said at the nominations launch for the British Independent Film Awards, in which he was nominated for his performance as a driving instructor in Mike Leigh’s movie Happy-Go-Lucky.
