Season of the Witch/Trivia

• Development Hell: Not quite, but originally the film was owned by Lionsgate and was to be released during March of 2010. However, test screenings fared poorly and the film was put on the backburner. It was then bought by Rogue Pictures and received some reshoots before being released in theaters during January 2011. However, it has been in the making since 2000 and had been making rounds from studio to studio before it was finally put into production.
• Hey, It's That Guy!: Nicolas Cage, Ron Perlman, and Christopher Lee are all in this movie.
  • European viewers might also recognise Amy from Little Dorrit, Combo from This Is England, and Nathan from Misfits (and be confused by their mysterious American accents).
• What Could Have Been: The ending in the film is a reshot ending. In the original ending there was no demon as the girl was actually a witch. The monks were not possessed by demons but were rather puppets controlled by the witch's powers. Bits and pieces of the original ending can be seen in Liongate's promos for the film back from early 2010.
