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) is a knight who had imprisoned the malevolently powerful witch, Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore), centuries 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. Now 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.

‘The Seventh Son’ will be shot entirely on location in Vancouver, BC, Canada.

“The plans for this are to shoot in Vancouver and China and some of the artwork just looks incredible,” he told us. “I think it’s certainly going to look pretty special, and I’ve read a couple of the books on which this series is based and they’re pretty engaging. The main draws were Sergei directing it, and Legendary Pictures making it. They make Batman and ‘Inception,’ amazing movies, and to top that off, most of my scenes are with Jeff Bridges, who is one of my favorite actors.”

When asked how they would be adapting and incorporating elements from Delaney’s novels into the movie and whether the movie would be just made up of the first book or multiple books, he admitted that the movie will definitely take things in a different direction:

“It’s nothing like the first book really, but they changed it a lot. I don’t think it’s particularly like ‘The Hunger Games’ or ‘Twilight’ where you can go ‘based on the books,’ because I don’t think this series is as popular yet, so I think there’s a chance to rewrite and make the best movie for the movie’s sake. I think sometimes when you stick exactly to the book, there’s a danger of it becoming a bit literary, so I think visually they want to make the most exciting film so they’ve changed a lot. My character in the book is 13 or something, but then the romance element in the book doesn’t really make any sense – it makes more sense to have those characters a little older. Some of the story in the first book is very static so this is going to be a lot more visual and action-oriented.”

“Hopefully it will hold me in good stead,” he quipped when we mentioned his previous experience with literary action epics from the last two movies based on C.S. Lewis’s “The Chronicles of Narnia.”

As far as that franchise, he feels two movies might be it for him as his character only appears in one more book, “The Silver Chair,” and in that one, he’s in his 70s.

“No more opportunity for me to go back and swashbuckle at 30 I don’t think but we’ll see,” he said. “It’s possible, but I think they might go and do ‘The Magician’s Nephew’ next anyway, which is like a prequel.”

What differences have you felt between the first and second film?

Filming Prince Caspian was a shattering experience, and it was almost too heavy for my shoulders. I had never acted in a big production before and I didn’t even know how to ride! In short, I was terrified by the idea of disappointing everyone. This time I’m more relaxed. I have filmed a lot in recent years and I feel more at ease as an actor. The Dawn Treader is also a much more fun film and less grim than the previous one.

.. I just saw the finished movie in a preview and it’s a success. Normally, I have to hide behind my fingers to watch a movie where I act so much – I hate to see myself on the screen. But, I could ignore my part and enjoy this great adventure film. I hope the public enjoys it as much as me.

Is Caspian different in this film?

Already, his accent has gone. The new director of the film preferred me to use my English accent and it’s obviously easier for me. Above all, Caspian is more mature today. Three years have gone by and he now runs the country, and he is king and so he should be seen to have authority. Unfortunately, he still lacks confidence and still has not accepted the fact of being an orphan. In short, he’s not yet fully convinced if he is the right person to lead a country…

It is said that The Dawn Treader is a real swashbuckler film, is that true?

Yes. I fight more often with my sword in this movie. And I lead maybe a little too much, but I think I do pretty well. I had more action scenes to act in this shoot, and that meant sometimes having to fight against five men at the same time while being shackled. It truly gives you the impression of being a medieval superhero, and there’s nothing like it to flatter your ego than beating up a hulk when you know that any of them could crush your skull! There are some sequences that are really fantastic. The battles were more fun than in the previous movie where things were more serious and where it was a bigger challenge.

Was it filmed on a real ship?

Yes. The Dawn Treader was built from scratch by the set-decorators and the result is impressive. I am always amazed by the sets and props built for the films, they are incredible and the know-how of the craftsmen is simply sensational. The first time I saw the ship complete, I was gobsmacked and my heart jumped in my chest. When you have the chance to film in such a setting, it’s obvious that this helps you in your work. It was a real pleasure to be there every day.

Did you film at sea with the ship?

No, but we could see it on the horizon of and we had water all around us. As a result, it really gave the impression of being on the open sea. It’s well known that filming at sea is dangerous and it causes constant delays. The vessel was then placed in a tank and it was fastened to a mechanical system that allowed it to pitch at will in every way. It was truly up and down and swung from port to starboard. The technicians could also rotate it almost 360 degrees so that the sun was always in the right place and the water was behind us, although we were shooting a scene from the other direction. We stayed on the bridge for about 3 weeks. We climbed up a ladder in the morning and went down for lunch, and it really seemed very real.

Did you suffer from sea sickness?

I think I was a bit less affected than others. [Laughs] Actually, I rather enjoyed filming in this tank. When it’s sweltering hot in the middle of Australia, the sun beats down and you’re wearing heavy leather boots and heavy clothing, it’s rather nice to jump into a tank of cold water and to splash about a bit. There are worse ways to earn a living! The Pevensie children had to have a fair complexion to look English, so they had to put sunscreen on and take shelter under umbrellas all the time, but to me, they said, ‘Well, you can go and sunbathe if you want ‘. So, I relaxed in the sun between takes. It’s good to be king! [Laughs]
