How'd It Get Burned This Week? (Oct. 26, 2009)

How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned? How'd it get burned HOWD IT GET BURNED?!

The trailer for Nic Cage's new movie Season of the Witch dropped recently. Nic plays a 14th century crusader who's out to save a witch who gets blamed for the Black Plague. If this sounds like your cup of tea, make sure to circle March 19 on your 2010 calendar. IO9 has the trailer and a few choice stills.

Astro Boy finally found its way to theaters, but it didn't make a whole lot of dough. What drew Nic to the project? Was it action? Nope. Was it the family dynamic? No. Was it the explosions? No way - it was "the sadness" of the story. “The sadness of the story,” Cage said, “is exactly what drew me to ‘Astro Boy.’ I can't help but feel for him especially when his father rejects him.” You can read the full article over at the LA Times Blog.

And finally some good news for Nic amid all his recent legal woes - someone bought one of his houses! OneIndia Entertainment reports that the house sold for 28% of its original value, but at least it's something. No word yet on how many more bad movies Nic will have to make at this rate.
