Seventh
Son
2015
Director- Sergei Bodrov
Cast- Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Ben Barnes, Alicia
Vikander, Julianne Moore, Antje Traue, Olivia Williams, Djimon Hounsou, Kandyse
McClure, Kit Harington, Jason Scott Lee
Though
the plot is predictable, the film has some good looking monsters. The special
effects were pretty good for its time. Genre fans will find many favorites in
the cast; Alicia Vikander played Laura Croft in the 2018 Tomb Raider; Bens Barnes was in several of the Narnia films; Antje Traue (Man
of Steel),Jason Scott Lee (Dragon:
the Bruce Lee Story), Djimon Hounsou (Captain
Marvel, Guardians of the Galaxy) and Kandyse McClure (Battlestar Galactica) all play witches. Game of Thrones fans will of course, recognize Kit Harrington as
the apprentice’s doomed predecessor.
Though a
decent film it was doomed in post-production Hell. Filming began in early 2012,
but it wasn’t released until 2015. This was due to a series of unfortunate
events involving the bankruptcies and failed business deals of various companies
involved in the film. By the time it finally saw the light of day, it was
rather anti-climactic and I think fan interest had moved on.
