New trailer for Seventh Son offers up more monsters and magic

By Rick Marshall November 19, 2014

It’s been a long, troubled road to the screen for Seventh Son, the upcoming fantasy action film starring Jeff Bridges and Ben Barnes, which was delayed numerous times before finally settling on a February 2015 debut in theaters. With the film’s premiere looming, a new trailer has been released, and it’s packed to the brim with magic and monsters.

Based on Joseph Delaney’s novel The Spook’s Apprentice, the film follows a young man (Barnes) who discovers that he’s a hero spoken of in prophecy, and must embark on a quest to defeat an evil sorceress (Julianne Moore) with the help of his battle-hardened mentor (Bridges). Along the way, he must contend with a group of supernatural assassins with deadly magical powers.

The film is directed by Sergei Bodrov (Mongol: The Rise of Genghis Khan) and wrapped production back in 2012. It was originally intended to hit theaters February 22, 2013, but was later pushed back not once but three times in the following years for additional post-production work and then due to behind-the-scenes issues related to Legendary Pictures and former distributor Warner Bros. parting ways.

Seventh Son is currently scheduled to premiere February 6, 2015.

3 underrated (HBO) Max movies you should watch this weekend (June 28-30)

A girl looks at a boy in House at the End of the Street.

June is surprisingly over, and with it, a great month for movies comes to a satisfactory close. You've probably watched Inside Out 2 or Bad Boys: Ride or Die or maybe even The Bikeriders. From blockbusters to indie fare, the theatrical movie business has been robust and healthy.

The same goes for streaming. Netflix had a big hit with Richard Linklater's Hit Man, while Amazon Prime Video recently premiered the latest bonkers season of The Boys. HBO and Max have been quieter, but their robust library speaks volumes to the streamer's high quality. The following three films are older, but are just as worth your time as new hits like House of the Dragon season 2.

As we head toward the end of June, it's worth reflecting on how we want to spend the rest of summer. For some, that's going to mean enjoying nice weather or getting some time in at the beach. For others, it might mean escaping from the heat, at least for a while, to check out a great movie.

If you fall into that second category, then we've pulled together a list of three great, underrated, titles available on Amazon Prime Video that are all worth checking out. Prime Video is home to some of the best movies available online, but it can be hard to find the ones you want. These three will at least give you a great place to start.

The best Netflix original series right now

Eric and Benedict Cumberbatch in Eric.

The era of Peak TV was also Peak Netflix, because the streamer seemingly had an endless supply of new original series. So far in 2024, that hasn't been the case. Whether we'll ever get the same level of content again seems unlikely for now. But even in a reduced capacity, Netflix still has a few new additions to its lineup of originals.

For the month of June, we're adding the '80s-set thriller, Eric, which stars Benedict Cumbebatch. Our other pick for the month is Supacell, which is Netflix's new British series that remixes some old superhero archetypes. That's not a very big selection for fans who always want something new, but this roundup of the best Netflix original series really does have all of the top options in one place for you. All you have to do is scroll down and make time to binge watch some shows.
