SEVENTH SON
FANTASY EPIC MOVIE As you people know, winter is usually the month for fantasy epics, and beside the long awaited THE HOBBIT THE DESOLATION OF SMAUG one of the biggest of the upcoming movies in the genre will be SEVENTH SON which hits cinemas January 17th! The fantasy spectacle is a loose movie adaptation of the first instalment in Joseph Delaney's best selling fantasy saga 'The Wardstone Chronicles', known in the US as 'The Last Apprentice'.

7TH SON'S STORY 
Mother Malkin is preparing to unleash her terrible wrath on an unsuspecting world. Only one thing stands in her way: John 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 (Ben Barnes) to fight a dark magic unlike any other. Man’s only hope lies in the seventh son of a seventh son.SEVENTH SON'S CAST

HUNGER GAMES and PIRATES OF THE CARIBBEAN star Sam Claflin was originally supposed to play the lead role (after Alex Pettyfer bowed out of the project) which later on went to Ben Barnes from DORIAN GRAY and CHRONICLES OF NARNIA PRINCE CASPIAN. At the same time Alicia Vikander took the female role only after Dianna Agron, Jennifer Lawrence and Imogen Poots dropped out. The movie had problems during the production and was postponed, partly because a visual effects studio which worked on the movie had a 
bankruptcy and had to be saved by Universal Pictures. It will now premiere in January 2014 almost a year after its original release date.
