MUMBAI: The severed tie between Warner Bros and Legendary Pictures has caused another delay for the fantasy action flick The Seventh Son starring Jeff Bridges, Ben Barnes, Julianne Moore and Alicia Vikander. Warner Bros had previously planned the release on 15 February, 2013 but postponed it to 18 October 2013. However as per reports, the studio has further delayed the project‘s release to 17 January 2014 in both 2D and 3D format.
The Seventh Son which was rechristened from its former name, The Spook‘s Appprentice is partially financed by Legendary Entertainment. Both Warner Bros and Legendary Entertainment had very recently cut their collaborative ties to produce movies together. It is speculated that the 8 year old break-up may be responsible for the delay, but none affirm to it.
The Seventh Son which is helmed by Sergei Bodrov is adapted from Joseph Delaney‘s young adult series about a teen who‘s the seventh son of a seventh son, and who learns about wizardry from a forbidding spook.
Meanwhile the 17 January 2014 slot is already occupied by Fox‘s dramaThe Book Thief, Open Road‘s animated comedy The Nut Job and Universal‘s comedy Ride Along.
