Sure, we like to think of him as Dreamy Prince Caspian, but it looks like Ben Barnes will be taking up the mantle of Thomas Ward in "The Seventh Son."
If the "Narnia" star signs on the dotted line, this could be yet another major movie franchise feather in his cap.
Based on the first book in the "Last Apprentice" series by Joseph Delaney, "The Seventh Son" is the latest young adult novel adaptation in development that's full of magic-y goodness. As the young apprentice to The Spook, Ward must learn to harness his supernatural powers to protect the land from baddies of all sorts. Will he succeed where 29 other apprentices fail? Since there are eight books in the series, the magic eight ball points to "probably so." Get More »

Alex Pettyfer Feigning 'Hunger Games' Ignorance?
DreamWorks
Alex Pettyfer has built his burgeoning career on the backs of young adult novels -- the British actor has already appeared in "Stormbreaker," "Beastly" and "I am Number Four," which opens Feb. 18. All signs point to at least one more YA adaptation, but good luck getting the 20-year-old troublemaker to admit which one.
"I'm not doing either at the moment. I'm not attached, I just got the offers," he tells NextMovie, regarding "The Mortal Instruments" and "The Seventh Son" (formerly known as "The Last Apprentice").

The race for the next big young adult fantasy franchise is in full swing, and one team just nabbed the A-List gravitas of Jeff Bridges.
According to Just Jared, the Oscar-winning actor has joined a big screen version of "The Seventh Son," based on the novel "The Last Apprentice" by Joseph Delaney. "Number Four" Alex Pettyfer and Oscar nominee Jennifer Lawrence are in talks to join him.
Bridges will play The Spook, a warrior of dark magic who takes on Tom Ward (potentially Pettyfer) as an apprentice and teaches him how to fight off ghosts, witches and the like. If all is right in the world, Bridges will end up growing a beard crazier and more mangled than his "Tron Legacy" look. Get More »
