“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 film is a movie adaptation of Joseph Delaney’s fantasy novel, “The Spook’s Apprentice”.
It will hit theaters on October 18, 2013.

What the hell did they do to the plot? It’s not the same as the book at all. The only they kept were the characters names. Tom is not a kid, Gregory is not a Spook, Malkin is not some crazy powerful witch yet, even the title is different. It all sounds so cliche and Hollywood now.
