Slated for a 2010 release, Season of the Witch stars Cage as a 14th century Crusader who is charged with transferring an alleged witch to an abbey whose monks will solve the witch-problem and the Black Plague in one fell swoop.

Now Fandango has the trailer for said supernatural thriller and it doesn't look that good. But around the time that someone might conceivably be interested in this film, up pops Cage trying to be oh-so-serious and valiant as a supposedly badass knight.

Head over to Fandango to see for yourself.

Well, things just got weirder.

Peter Illif (Point Break) has just been brought on board to write the script and, according to Variety, the story will focus on the Gladiators being superheroes. This seems to match producer Scott Mednick's comment that he looked forward "to creating a compelling story that launches a whole new set of characters."

Unfortunately, I find it hard to believe that anyone can weave gold out of American Gladiators. What do you guys think?

With no one yet signed to direct, and neither Kate Beckinsale or Rhona Mitra (from the third film) attached to star, everything about this project seems to be up in the air. The only things we can confirm so far, is that Len Wiseman, who directed the first two films, will produce, and that the movie is not a prequel.

Said, Hlavin,"It will satisfy old fans and excite new audiences, meaning that we don't want to redo the first three movies, so steps are being taken to honor what fans have loved but at the same time introduce fresh elements."

Judging by this statement, it seems like the fourth movie will launch a whole new group of characters and storyline. Is that something you Underworld fans -- and non-fans -- would be interested in seeing?

The latest poster comes to us from France where "By the director of Titanic" is written as "Par le realissateur de Titanic." That's not that surprising considering the habit the French have of, well, speaking French.

What is a little surprising though, is the decision not to mention the name of lead actress Zoe Saldana on this poster. Considering that the Na'vi pictured is none other than her character, Neytiri, it's kind of weird that they decided to mention Michelle Rodriguez in her place. As much as I love Rodriguez -- and I do! -- what's the sense of replacing the name of Saldana (who just had a hit as Uhura in Star Trek) with Rodriguez?

Or, if anything, they could have just placed all three actresses' names together and left Sam Worthington's name for -- what I'm sure will be released next week -- the poster with just his character's face.

Steven Spielberg and Stephen King are joining forces to develop a limited series based on King's just-released supernatural thriller "Under the Dome." DreamWorks TV has optioned the book and is looking to set it up as an event series, likely for cable.

DreamWorks principal Stacey Snider was key in bringing the project to the company. Spielberg, King and Snider will exec produce along with DreamWorks TV chiefs Darryl Frank and Justin Falvey.Book, which has earned strong reviews as a return to form for the prolific author, revolves around the drama that unfolds after an invisible force field suddenly descends on a small vacation town in Maine. As the locals fight for their survival, the town descends into warring factions led by enigmatic characters.

DreamWorks is starting to meet with writers for the project. The plan is to set a writer before shopping the skein to prospective buyers.

Spielberg and King have worked together in the past, developing a screen adaptation of King's 1984 novel "The Talisman," on which Spielberg has had the option for more than 20 years. That project has been developed as a feature, and it came close to being done as a mini for TNT a few years ago until it was tabled for budgetary reasons.

The "Dome" deal continues a burst of activity on the smallscreen side for Spielberg and DreamWorks TV. Among the high-profile projects in the works is a series about the development of a fictional Broadway tuner for Showtime. Another Showtime contender is a costume-drama revolving around the Borgia clan, penned by Neil Jordan and with Robert Zemeckis also producing.

“Dark Void” will yield development matter.

Indian giant Reliance BIG Entertainment and Brad Pitt’s Plan B shingle are developing a film version of the upcoming video game, and Pitt could well star as the lead combatant.

The two firms have acquired rights to the Capcom third-person shooter and will develop as a feature. The companies say that the project would be a “potential starring vehicle” for Pitt. No writers have been hired as yet.

“Void” centers on a a cargo pilot named Will (Pitt’s presumed character) who, after crashing in the Bermuda Triangle, ends up in a parallel universe where a band of humans must fight an alien threat they had long been thought extinct. Will and the other humans are outmanned but have a number of weapons and powers to help them beat back the alien incursion.

The game will be released for Windows, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 in January. CAA repped Plan B and Reliance in the deal; UTA-repped Capcom.

If it becomes a full-fledged film, the project could potentially be made via Reliance’s financing pact with DreamWorks and/or distributed through DreamWorks’ output deal with Disney, though no formal decisions have been made on either as yet.

The project is the first to come out of a development partnership between Plan B and Reliance that was announced at the Festival de Cannes in 2008. The Indian giant has deals with a number of other Hollywood production banners, including Julia Roberts’ Red Om and George Clooney’s Smokehouse.

Video games have had a mixed record on the big screen, with title likes “Max Payne” mutating into critical and commercial flops. But principals here pointed to advantages a “Dark Void” movie would have that its predecessors have not.

“As a game, ‘Dark Void’ was developed with a wide-screen mentality – a world full of adventure presented in cinematic scope and scale,” Capcom senior vp licensing Germaine Gioia said.

According to the Heat Vision Blog, Guardians of Ga'hoole is set to be a big-budget fantasy about a young owl who grows up with father's stories about a band of warriors who fight for owls everywhere.

Helmed by Zack Snyder, the animated film will now feature the voices of Sam Neill, Hugo Weaving, Geoffrey Rush, and David Wenham as the leads, along with the talents of Abbie Cornish, Emilie de Ravin, Helen Mirren, Jim Sturgess, Miriam Margolyes, Emily Barclay, Jay Laga'aia, and Ryan Kwantan. The release date is currently set for December 2010.
