The gorgeous Alicia Vikander is the focus for the latest Comic Con character one-sheet celebrating Sergei Bodrov’s fantasy adaptation ‘Seventh Son’. If follows on from the previous poster which featured ‘Game of Thrones’ actor Kit Harington and is as equally unimaginative. Character posters are a notoriously pointless piece of marketing and especially when no real thought goes into their production. Jeff Bridges (‘R.I.P.D.’), Julianne Moore (‘Carrie’), Ben Barnes (‘Dorian Gray’), Antje Traue (‘Man of Steel’), Olivia Williams (‘The Sixth Sense’) and Djimon Hounsou (‘The Island’) also star. Head below to check out the large floating head of Miss Vikander surrounded by mystical purple haze and sparks. Yawn!
“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), the last of the Falcon Knights, had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), many years 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. 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.”
‘Seventh Son’ opens in UK theatres on 25 October and in the US on 17 January 2014.
