‘Tis the season to start thinking about next year’s movies, and that includes The Seventh Son, which stars The Big Lebowski co-stars Jeff Bridges (True Grit) and Julianne Moore (Game Change). Also in tow are Ben Barnes (The Words) and Alicia Vikander (Anna Karenina) in a story that follows’ Barnes’ character, Tom Ward, who battles supernatural forces as an apprentice to Bridges’s John Gregory.
The movie is based on the young adult novel, The Spook’s Apprentice, by Joseph Delaney.
Moore takes on the role on a villain in the fantasy film, which reveals the world of ghosts, demons, and witches.
As seen in these newly released images below, Bridges, Barnes, and Moore are decked out in their other-worldly best, under the direction of Russian visionary, Sergey Bodrov (A Yakuza’s Daughter Never Cries) and with a script written by Matt Greenberg (1408), Charles Leavitt (Blood Diamond), and Max Borenstein (2014’s Godzilla).
Below is the synopsis for the film which is due out in theaters October 18th of next year:
“In a time long past, an evil is about to be unleashed that will reignite the war between the forces of the supernatural and humankind once more. Master Gregory (Bridges) is a knight who had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin (Moore), centuries ago. But now she has escaped and is seeking vengeance. Summoning her followers of every incarnation, Mother Malkin is preparing to unleash her terrible wrath on an unsuspecting world. Only one thing stands in her way: Master Gregory.
In a deadly reunion, Gregory comes face to face with the evil he always feared would someday return. Now he has only until the next full moon to do what usually takes years: train his new apprentice, Tom Ward (Barnes) to fight a dark magic unlike any other. Man’s only hope lies in the seventh son of a seventh son.”
