Here's a bit of scoop Corelli, one of the ADs for Season of the Witch was on the Warner Bros. lot a few days ago. I had a chance to speak with him.

Yes, we briefly talked about "Season of the Witch." He said, Lionsgate is having a hard time finding a solid audience during testing of the movie. He also said, Nic is bad at accents and for this period piece, it's like they threw a surfer dude in the middle of the 14th century. He also mentioned, Nic is getting a bad rap in the media lately.

He went on to say, it was a smart move on Lionsgate's part to pull the movie until they can do further research on how to effectively market the movie to the right audience.

For what it's worth, I told him Nic is a great actor and person. He agreed.

I absolutely agree with the article. Though I love Nic, his period piece would not have stood a fair shot had he opened on the 19th... Way too much competition at the box office.

I would definitely shoot for a less competitive weekend, like the month of October or somewhere around there.

Lionsgate has decided to pull Cage's "Season of the Witch" from theaters.

DETAILS HERE!

Additionally, the official "Season of the Witch" website, no longer shows a release date of March 19, 2010, instead, it simply says, "Coming Soon." So, if you were lucky to snag a poster with the March 19th release date, that poster is officially a collector's item!
