Not sure how I feel about this... all I can see is the Dude and Maude. However, my crush on Julianna Moore knows no bounds. :heart: Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: Lakov_Sanite on July 11, 2013, 07:36:55 PM I will follow Jeff Bridges into any theatre, this looks fun at the very least.
Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: HaemishM on July 12, 2013, 10:32:02 PM Looks silly and fun. Between this and RIPD he's getting a bit typecast.
Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: Ratman_tf on July 14, 2013, 10:14:47 PM Saw the trailer for this when I went to see Pacific Rim. I'll try not to hold the trailer against the movie.
Jesus, trailers are so shit nowadays. Inception horns and terrible one liners and moronic action. I shake my old man cane at the movie screen! Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: Abagadro on July 14, 2013, 10:25:12 PM They are burying this in mid-January. It will be terrible.
Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: schpain on July 14, 2013, 10:42:56 PM i read the first book of this series many years ago on a vacation with the folks. it was pretty dark from memory; apparently the author has put out some 4 more books. the first is worth a quick read, its only a small novel.
edit: its called 'the spooks apprentice' Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: MahrinSkel on July 14, 2013, 10:52:38 PM Appears to be out of print, looks like there are five or so sequels.

Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: Hawkbit on July 16, 2013, 09:01:49 PM Well, apparently I'm wrong. This *is* the Delany book to moive. Hollywood has taken a massive, ginormous pile of shit on this series. That trailer has no semblance of Delany's work. The books are more like a dark Harry Potter based around a boy coming of age as a witchhunter. The books have not one ounce of the flash that trailer does. TLDR: Read the books, forget this movie exists. Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: shiznitz on July 17, 2013, 09:44:28 AM Amazon is showing a series titles The Last Apprentice that looks to be pre-teen fantasy. Is there another series or is that it?
Title: Re: Seventh Son Post by: Hawkbit on July 17, 2013, 10:49:58 AM That's it. They changed the name in the states because of the word "Spook".
It's a pretty fun series, and my mental image from the book was something more like a really dark Rankin & Bass production than what was in that trailer. It's aimed at the teenage set, but it has some really dark parts. Trained to kill all witches on sight, but are all witches evil? Even an evil undead witch was once human, should it be killed? By book four it's not just witches, but boggarts, ghosts and all sorts of creatures. Maybe I'm pedestrian because I like teen fantasy/horror, but whatever. I liked it.
