Cage thriller part of Relativity deal
Lionsgate and Relativity Media announced today that they have finalized a new multi-picture, multi-year deal under which Lionsgate will acquire U.S. distribution rights for up to five Relativity Media productions per year.
The agreement builds upon the successful relationship established by the companies during the past two years, when they partnered on The Forbidden Kingdom, 3:10 to Yuma and The Bank Job.
The supernatural thriller Season of the Witch will be the second film released through this renewed partnership after Jim Sheridan’s Brothers.
Directed by Dominic Sena (Gone in 60 Seconds), Season of the Witch stars Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman and introduces Claire Foy in the story of 14th Century knights transporting a girl suspected of being the witch who has spread the Black Plague.
An exact release date has not been revealed.
