#SeventhSon Starts Filming on its Mega Medieval Castle Set – Updated

Ater months of construction, dark fantasy movie The Seventh Son started filming today on its gigantic medieval castle set at Kent Hangar field in Vancouver. In addition to the huge wooden set, I counted eight generators and several giant blue screens attached to a wall of forty-two stacked shipping containers (crew had turned one of the bottom containers into a makeshift props department).

The Seventh Son is about an apprentice Tom (Ben Barnes) — the seventh son of a seventh son — to the County Spook (Jeff Bridges) who has imprisoned an evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore). A young girl tricks Tom into helping the witch escape. I don’t know who was on set today because I could only see a sliver of the filming through a gap in the blue screens, revealing an interior market and real horses tethered to wooden rails.

  

  

Big-ass Medieval Castle Set for #SeventhSon

Fantasy-adventure movie The Seventh Son is building one gigantic medieval castle set on the gravel field at Boundary and Kent in Vancouver, known as the Kent Hangar field.

The Seventh Son, which began filming in Vancouver almost a month ago, is about an apprentice Tom (Ben Barnes) — the seventh son of a seventh son — to the County Spook (Jeff Bridges) who has imprisoned an evil witch Mother Malkin (Julianne Moore). A young girl tricks Tom into helping the witch escape. The movie is based on the first book in The Wardstone Chronicles, giving it franchise potential and perhaps explaining why The Seventh Son production signs TUSK are everywhere from the Watchmen set to Kent Hangar field to Britannia Mines near Squamish.
