Movie release material
From
Legendary Pictures, producers of “Godzilla” and “300: Rise of
an Empire,” comes “Seventh Son,” the first fantasy adventure to
open the New Year 2015.
Based
on the book "The Spook's Apprentice" by Joseph Delaney, the
film stars Jeff Bridges (“TRON: Legacy”), Ben Barnes (“The
Chronicles of Narnia: Prince Caspian”), Alicia Vikander (“The
Fifth Estate”), Kit Harington (“Game of Thrones”), Olivia
Williams (“The Sixth Sense”), Antje Traue (“Man of Steel”),
Djimon Hounsou (“Guardians of the Galaxy”) and Julianne Moore
(“The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1”).
In
a time of enchantments when legends and magic collide, the sole
remaining warrior of a mystical order travels to find a prophesized
hero born with incredible powers, the last Seventh Son.
Torn
from his quiet life as a farmhand, the unlikely young hero of Seventh
Son embarks on a daring adventure with his battle-hardened mentor to
vanquish a dark queen and the army of supernatural assassins she has
dispatched against their kingdom.
For
centuries, humanity has been protected from creatures of the dark by
an ancient order of noble warriors called the Falcon Knights. Now,
only one remains: Master John Gregory (Bridges), a grizzled
demon-slayer with a tongue as sharp as his sword. As a hunter of
witches who was seduced by their queen (Moore), his biggest mistake
was showing her mercy... And now he will pay the price.
For
the dark secret he thought he could bury is about to break free...
After
being betrayed by the man she loved most, the Witch Queen Mother
Malkin is left to rot in prison as her hunger for vengeance grows.
The rising Blood Moon strengthens her mystical powers of
transformation until she can finally break free.
Swearing
revenge, Mother Malkin assembles an army of witches, warlocks and
supernatural assassins from every nation, all uniting to punish the
cruel world that rejected them. Mankind has created a monster...and
now she is unleashed.
When
Malkin assaults Gregory and kills his companion, the Falcon Knight
must travel across distant horizons to track down the last Seventh
Son.
Tom
Ward (Barnes), a simple farmhand, is torn from his family to embark
on a death-defying adventure of haunted forests, towering cities and
cascading waterfalls to face Malkin’s army in her mountaintop lair.
But Tom also has a secret... The dark magic he now hunts also lies
within him. His own mother is a witch.
With
time running out, Gregory and Tom must journey across a spectacular
world of supernatural creatures, warlock assassins and earth-shaking
monsters to reach the Queen of the Dark...before her power becomes
unstoppable.
Tom’s
allegiance is tested when he falls in love with his prey...Alice
(Vikander): a half-witch spy sent to sabotage them. The growing
secret passion between sworn enemies forces them to choose between
love and duty. Will they betray their hearts, or endanger their own
kind?
As
these two forces collide, destiny leads to a final confrontation in
the heart of the mountain. Will Master Gregory defeat the darkness
within Malkin without succumbing to the darkness within himself?
Will Malkin’s power rule over that of the Falcon Knights? Will
Alice choose to fight for family, or follow her wild heart? And will
Tom overcome the darkness and realize the true power of a Seventh
Son?
