Ah, the drama of bitter divorces! *kisses fingers* Magnifique! Anyway… now that Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros. have gone their separate ways, news is breaking that Legendary was granted custody of their Seventh Son.

No word yet how this will affect the film’s January 17, 2014, release date, but one thing’s for sure… it won’t be Warner pushing it out of the gate. Stay tuned.

Seventh Son is an adaptation of Joseph Delaney’s The Spook’s Apprentice. Award-winning filmmaker Sergei Bodrov directs. Seventh Son stars Academy Award® winner Jeff Bridges (Crazy Heart, Iron Man), Oscar® nominee Julianne Moore (Far From Heaven, The Hours), and Ben Barnes (The Chronicles of Narnia films). The film’s international cast also includes Alicia Vikander (The Crown Jewels), Antje Traue (Pandorum, Man of Steel), Olivia Williams (Hanna), and Kit Harington (HBO’s “Game of Thrones”).

Synopsis
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 (Jeff Bridges) is a knight who had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch Mother Malkin (Julianne 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 (Ben Barnes), to fight a dark magic unlike any other. Man’s only hope lies in the seventh son of a seventh son.
