Things are definitely heating up for actor Alex Pettyfer. He'll be seen this year in both Beastly and I Am Number Four, and now it looks like he'll be starring in another film based on a popular YA book series, The Last Apprentice.
This comes, according to Vulture, while it was looking like he would star in th adaptation of yet another YA book adaptation, The MortalInstruments.
"Insiders tell Vulture that Pettyfer has been offered the lead role in Warner Bros. and Legendary Pictures' adaptation of Joseph Delaney’s best-selling YA series The Last Apprentice (known to U.K. readers as The Wardstone Chronicles), about a teenage boy training to be an exorcist in the 1700s. The project is heating up fast, our spies say, with Oscar nominees Jeff Bridges and Jennifer Lawrence possibly playing roles as well; Bridges is being offered the part of the exorcist to whom Pettyfer would be apprenticed, and Lawrence that of a suspected witch," offers the report.
