Nicolas Cage and director Dominic Sena, the two guys who brought us the 2000 action movie GONE IN SIXTY SECONDS are teaming once again for a new supernatural thriller over at Relativity Media.
The movie is SEASON OF THE WITCH and thankfully has nothing to do with HALLOWEEN III: SEASON OF THE WITCH.
Story chronicles the journey of 14th century knights transporting a girl suspected of being the witch responsible for spreading the Black Plague.
Bragi Schut Jr, the creator of the t.v. show THERESHOLD wrote the screenplay. Shooting will begin in Austria and Hungary in early November after the always busy Cage has finished filming his role in KICK-ASS.

Based on this first full trailer for Frank Miler’s adaptation of Will Eisner’ classic The Spirit, you might be forgiven for thinking that you were stumbling into a convention for all the people that made classic Bond credit sequences.
Because it’s so full of the ladies of the film, with our hero (Gabriel Macht) and his nemesis, The Octopus (Samuel L Jackson) largely sidelined, you start to wonder just whether should be called Lots Of Good Looking Ladies And A Bloke In A Suit To Boot. But it’s definitely Sin City stylish and in parts looks amazing. Check out the leaked version here.

"MEEOOWWW!!!! KITCH!! KITCH!!"
Last fall, it seemed like the Bourne series was sunk Paul-greengrass-bounces-bourne-4″>when Paul Greengrass pulled a bitchfit and removed himself and star Matt Damon from a fourth Bourne film. That doesn’t seem to bother Universal too much. Despite the fact that he directed Duplicity, they’ve just hired Tony Gilroy to direct the next chapter. Gilroy, of course, wrote each of the previous films as well as the newest script. Not sure if they plan to use Damon, recast, shoot a prequel, or go the tried-and-true route of using a cardboard cut-out. You really can’t tell the difference if you shake the camera around enough.

Horror god Clive Barker hasalready got Midnight Meat Train chuffing towards the screen and a fresh take on Hellraiser in development. But now he’s cracked open Books Of Blood, the seminal short story collection that made him a horror icon for Matador Pictures and his own Midnight Picture Show company.
Hoping for a franchise while cribbing from the first book, Blood will follow a paranormal expert (in the form of the current TV Robin Hood Jonas Armstrong) investigating a terrible slaughter, only to discover that the location is an intersection of paths that transport souls to the afterlife.
Weirdly, Sophie Ward fromTV’s Heartbeat andPeak Practiceis also on board and The Hollywood Reporter has more details.
