Season of the Witch trailer, you guys:
Look, I’m not trying to tell Hollywood how to do its job, (although actually, when you think about it, I guess I am kind of trying to tell Hollywood how to do its job), but you know that you are a redneck in trouble when you make a movie about a medieval witch who controls wolves with her mind and sets fires using her eyes and the least believable thing about it is your lead actor’s HAIR. I bet directors love casting Nicolas Cage in movies like this because they can just reuse old, rotting wigs from previous movies. “Back in the days of chivalry, people rarely bathed, and they almost never cleaned their wigs.” Hollywood is all about making movie magic without going over your wig budget.
Although, to be fair to Nicolas Cage, while he is the least believable thing in this (any) movie, the soundtrack is a VERY CLOSE SECOND. It’s one thing to shred black angst over a movie about the Apocalypse or whatever, but this is a movie about a couple of noble knights transporting an un-Christian wench through the forest. Methinks perchance a lute is the trick. But no. This movie is too busy writing the name of its band on its jeans with a Sharpie and thinking about joining the army to go crack some skulls like mom’s boyfriend Randy is always talking about. Camelot, FUCK YEAH!
*Sarcasm.

Man, kids today love the Donovan references.
If they were going to go with a completely out of place soundtrack, they should have gone for 80′s new wave. The trailer would have been so much better if ‘The Promise’ by When in Rome were playing on top of it!
I think Flock of Seagulls would have been fairly appropriate, because what would I do if the witch got out? I would run, run (so far away). I would run. Run all night and day. And try to get away.
have you guys heard about the Book of Eli soundtrack?
I had the cassingle of When In Rome’s “Promise” in the tapedeck of my ’82 Civic for most of my junior year of high school.
So, just so you know, I’m kind of a big deal.
I think the movie for you is Ladyhawke!

I’d have to say I am most excited about this new video quality option. Youtube makin moves, videogum keeping me (inadvertently) abreast of ‘em.
Good News
It’s a post-A Knight’s Tale soundtrack world, and we’re just living in it.

oh, Stephen Campbell Moore, I love you and all, but this looks terrible.
“Cut off the head!”
Wow, for a Black Witch, she’s kind of a cutie, ain’t she? Why didn’t they just give her glasses and a ponytail (which she could get rid of two-thirds into the movie and replace with some makeup and a hairbrush) and be done with it?
She’s All Hexed
You took the words right out of my mouth!
I’m sure if you asked all the witches at my middle school in 1998, they would find the music for that trailer to be quite appropriate.
This movie looks a lot better than Leaving Las Vegas.
Methinks the “NIcholas Cage” tag will be getting a lot of use (aka he needs the money). On a related note, so will the “Bad Idea Jeans” tag, probably.
I just 720peed my pants.
Apparently this is the only witch they didn’t just kill. All the others got burned for refusing to confess but they’re going easy on the one with the actual POWERS OF HELL. She can repent! It’ll be great. As long they can find someone who isn’t a witch-cursed zombie.
There is so much era-mixing here… and not one of them accurate. It’s making my history brain curl up and twitch. And would it really kill Hollywood to create realistic historical costumes for a movie that isn’t about Queen Elizabeth? Gotta have us some super cool quilted pseudo-medieval leather jerkins, yo!
And lastly, it’s cool how Cage doesn’t even attempt an accent.
This looks like rubbish. Now, “Halloween 3: Season of the Witch” rocked ass on this in every single way, and it was all about Halloween masks full of insects that ate kids’ heads on Halloween night.
Far superior.
This is already like five people from my high school’s favorite movie.
Witches are always summoning wolves.
meh. i prefer the lou rawls version.
ugh, sorry this is the hugest picture in the world.
Kinda hope this movie ends with a kung fu sequence.
and bear punching.
I was getting really worried that it might not, but then, Whew — wire work at 1:58. Looks promising! Also, is that That One at 0:39? Way to go, superstar!
This movie would be a lot more appealing if it was a Hellboy/ Ghost Rider Team-Up. The soundtrack would make more sense too.
Someone with more video editing skills than me needs to replace the soundtrack in this trailer with the Donovan song. 10 Internet points to whoever accomplishes this task.
Anyone else notice how this is the exact same set up as The Seventh Seal?
