Claire Foy co-stars alongside Nicholas Cage in the recently released movie, Season of the Witch. The film was set to release in March of 2010, but was pulled until January of this year.
This is not Claire’s first claim to fame, the British actress has starred in BBC’s award-winning adaptation of Little Dorrit, Terry Prachett’s Going Postal, Upstairs, Downstairs, and The Promise.
Claire Foy says she enjoyed working with Cage for the film. When asked about the role, she said she didn’t expect to even get the part. “I am up for this Hollywood film starring Nocolas Cage and that’s just never going to happen,” she said to her Little Dorrit co-star Matthew Macfadyen. “And then a couple of weeks later I was on location in Hungary and Nicolas Cage was walking up to me to introduce himself and I was like, ‘Oh!’ It was such a whirlwind.”
Season of the Witch has no connection with the 1972 film that shares the title, but it has created quite the commotion. It has unfortunately rubbed film critics in the worst of ways, stirring up reviews that have called the movie “boring and utterly forgettable.” They’ve said that Cage wasn’t utilized in the best way.
