It seems Jeff Bridges has reached that stage in his career where he's content putting on different accents for each role (presumably so people will stop calling him The Dude). We've seen it in the trailer for RIPD, and it's on display again in the first trailer for the newest potential franchise, Seventh Son.
Based on The Spook's Apprentice, the first book of Joseph Delaney's children's dark fantasy series The Wardstone Chronicles, it sees Bridges play John Gregory, whose job as a Spook is to fight against the dark forces of evil. When the powerful witch, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore) is freed from a centuries long imprisonment, he must train his new apprentice Tom Ward (Ben Barnes, taking on a new fantasy series since it seems The Chronicles of Narnia is going nowhere) to against a new type of dark magic. The English debut of Russian director Sergei Bodrov, it may be telling a story we've seen a hundred times before, but there's enough going on in this trailer to suggest that it will be a fun ride, putting enough emphasis on the characters as well as the special effects.
Released: 25th October (U.K./IRL)/ 17th January 2014 (U.S.)
