Seventh Son is a 2015 fantasy film based on the novel The Spook's Apprentice (titled The Last Apprentice: Revenge of the Witch in America). The story centers on Thomas Ward, a seventh son of a seventh son, and his adventures as the apprentice of the Spook. It is directed by Sergei Bodrov and stars Ben Barnes, Jeff Bridges, and Julianne Moore. It features music composed by Marco Beltrami, which he replaced A. R. Rahman and Tuomas Kantelinen. After having the release date shifted numerous times, the film is scheduled to be released in the United States on February 6, 2015.

Cast

Casting

The film features Jeff Bridges and Julianne Moore[5] as the Spook and Mother Malkin. Sam Claflin and Alicia Vikander were in negotiations to star as Tom Ward and Alice,[6] but in June 2011, negotiations with Claflin fell through and Ben Barnes replaced him. Vikander was cast.[7]

Production

Production began on March 19, 2012, in Vancouver, British Columbia.[8] In February 2013, Legendary Pictures agreed to give $5 million to recently bankrupt visual effects house Rhythm and Hues Studios so they would complete their work in The Seventh Son.[9]

Music

It was originally announced that A. R. Rahman and Tuomas Kantelinen would compose the score for the movie.[10] However, in July 2013, Rahman left the project due to scheduling conflicts.[11] Subsequently, in December, 2013, Kantelinen was replaced by Marco Beltrami.[1]

Release

The film was originally scheduled for release February 15, 2013, but moved back to October 18, 2013, to complete post-production.[12] It again moved from October 18, 2013, to January 17, 2014, due to the film's production partner Legendary Pictures parting ways with Warner Bros., who were initially intended to distribute the film.[13] On August 15, 2013, it was announced that Legendary has sold the distribution rights to their new partner Universal Studios which pulled the film off its January 17, 2014 release date.[14] On November 27, 2013, It was announced that the film would be released on February 6, 2015.[15] The film premiered in France on December 17, 2014.[16] The film is scheduled to also be released in IMAX 3D along with it's competitor Jupiter Ascending from Seventh Son's former distributor Warner Bros. Pictures.
