Kit Harington is sure to be one of the biggest breakout stars from "Game of Thrones," considering the popularity of his character Jon Snow, and for his first foray into big-budget action, he's traveling to a fantasy world of a different kind. "The Seventh Son" throws him into a much more fantastical adventure with significantly less violence and nudity, but a great deal more Jeff Bridges.
