The year is 1348. Europe has fallen under the shadow of the Black Death. As the plague decimates all in its path, fear and superstition are rife. In this apocalyptic environment, the church is losing its grip on the people. There are rumors of a village, hidden in marshland that the plague cannot reach. There is even talk of a necromancer who leads the village and is able to bring the dead back to life. Ulric (Sean Bean), a fearsome knight, is charged by the church to investigate these rumors. He enlists the guidance of a novice monk, Osmund (Eddie Redmayne) to lead him and his band of mercenary soldiers to the marshland, but Osmund has other motives for leaving his monastery. Their journey to the village and events that unfold take them into the heart of darkness and to horrors that will put Osmund's faith in himself and his love for God to the ultimate test.
Black Death was released March 11th, 2011 and stars Sean Bean, Eddie Redmayne, David Warner, Carice van Houten, Kimberley Nixon, Tim McInnerny, John Lynch, Andy Nyman. The film is directed by Christopher Smith.

Has anyone else noticed that Sean Bean has a tendency of being both a good guy and a bad guy at some point in most of his films? Ex: National Treasure, Goldeneye, LotR etc.

This has to be great. Sean Bean is in it. He is one of the best actors today.

Meh. There was a moment in the trailer that was like a total rip of the 'Crucible', where a character says 'there is no God', similar circ*mstance and line of dialogue that Daniel Day Lewis says.
