Julianne Moore has been cast in Warner Bros. Pictures’ The Seventh Son.
Moore will star opposite Jeff Bridges (Tron: Legacy) in the adaptation of Joseph Delaney’s The Spook’s Apprentice, the first story in the fantasy-adventure series The Wardstone Chronicles.
The plot is centred around a 13-year-old farm boy named Tom who lives in the countryside of The County. As Tom is the seventh son of a seventh son he is able to see things others cannot, such as boggarts, ghasts, ghosts and others, which is traditional in The County.
Previous talk was of Alex Pettyfer (I Am Number Four) and Jennifer Lawrence (Winter’s Bone) filling the roles of Tom and Alice respectively. But with Lawrence’s recent casting in The Hunger Games, and Pettyfer’s star rising, it seems likely the roles will go to another two up-and-coming stars.
Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) will direct from a screenplay by Max Borenstein.
Production is expected to begin in Vancouver this September.
