Since they’re having a bitch of a time finding a Huntsman, they’ve decided to go with a lesser-known prince. While the name Sam Claflin may not mean anything to you now, give him six months or so and you might be singing a different tune. With his involvement in Snow White and the Huntsman, he has put together quite the trifecta of blockbuster roles.

Claflin has scored a starring role in Pirates of the Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, due to arrive later this month, as well as the lead role in the supernatural The Seventh Son opposite Jeff Bridges, which is in production.

And now he’s a prince. Alex Pettyfer better watch his damn back. There’s a new disarmingly attractive young actor on the prowl. Claflin will be no doubt hooking up with Kristen Stewart, the project’s Snow White. I guess he decided to do the project in spite of that. What a professional. (Deadline)

Sam Clafin, one of the stars of the upcoming Pirates Of The Caribbean: On Stranger Tides, has won the tween dreamboat sweepstakes and secured the coveted male lead in the kid-lit adaptation The Seventh Son. The films has gone through several changes, both title and casting included, but this appears to be the the final iteration. The film, at one point called The Last Apprentice, after the popular series of novels it’s based on, was always set to star Jeff Bridges as a Witch Hunter, and at one point Alex Pettyfer, star of the flops I Am Number Four and Beastly, was set to play the titular apprentice. Jennifer Lawrence, among other actresses, was in talks to play the female lead, but now that role has gone to newcomer Alicia Vicander.

Warne Brothers and Legendary Pictures are producing, and acclaimed Russian director Sergei Bodrov (Mongol) will handle behind the camera duties. Congratulations to Clafin and Vicander, and to all the young hopefuls looking to score a little Pattinson/Stewart cache, thanks for playing Who Wants To Be A Tween Idol! (The Playlist)
