Trama e commenti: comingsoon.it - bestmovie.it - it.wikipedia.org - trovacinema.repubblica.it - cinemagia.ro - mymovies.it: «Tratto dal libro di Joseph Delaney L'apprendista del mago, il film racconta la storia dell'apprendista Thomas, costretto a imparare a esorcizzare fantasmi, catturare streghe e imprigionare boggart da un potente stregone. Il suo apprendistato si trasformerà in una terribile avventura quando verrà indotto con l'inganno a liberare Mamma Malkin, la strega più malvagia della Contea. La Legendary sta cercando di ottenere dal giudice il via libera per finanziare con 5 milioni di dollari la compagnia di effetti speciali Rhythm & Hues Seeks che è andata in bancarotta, affinché venga completato il lavoro sul film, visto che i prestiti ottenuti dalla Universal e dalla Fox non coprono il lavoro per intero».

Plot Summary, Synopsis, Review: IMDb - upcomingflick.com - cineimage.ch - movies.ch - screencrush.com - ropeofsilicon.comallmovie.com - cinemagia.ro - en.wikipedia.org: «Seventh Son is an upcoming fantasy film based on the first installment in Joseph Delaney's children's dark fantasy novel series The Wardstone Chronicles, known in the US as The Last Apprentice, titled The Spook's Apprentice. The story centres around 14-year-old Tom 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 Tuomas Kantelinen. It is scheduled to be released in 3-D and IMAX 3D in 2014. 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. John Gregory (Jeff Bridges) is a Spook, a person who fights against the Dark, 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: 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. The story is only vaguely inspired by the books as most of the characters, settings and general storyline have been edited and retain very few similarities with their novel counterparts».
