For this project, Nicolas Cage had the opportunity to collaborate for the second time with director Dominic Sena, who also directed the famous action film Gone in Sixty Seconds. Regarding this experience, Cage said:

"Dominic is ideal for any actor, because it leaves you enough freedom, it makes you relax and listen to your ideas. I worked with him for the first time on Gone in Sixty Seconds and now on Season of the Witch.

Unlike the first, which was a modern action film, this project gave Dom the opportunity to let his imagination run wild. He is a very creative man and can get a fantastic visual, using the natural scenery in which we filmed. I was very happy to team up with him again. "

Filmed in beautiful locations in Austria, Croatia and Hungary, Season of the Witch tells the story of a long-forgotten era. In a land devastated by wars, the last Crusaders return to a homeland devastated by the Black Plague.

The Cardinal D'Ambroise (Christopher Lee) is convinced that the terrible plague is a curse from hell, brought upon people by the black witch. She sees the weaknesses hidden deep in everyone's hearts. And what he sees, he uses against them.

Behmen (Nicolas Cage), a 14th century Crusader and his comrade (Ron Perlman) are chosen to transport the accused witch (Claire Foy) to a remote abbey, where monks will perform a ritual in hopes of ending the pestilence.

Season of the Witch can be seen on Antena 1 as follows: Friday, May 15, at 23:30 and rerunning on Saturday, May 16 at 00:15.
