I know what you’re thinking: Nic Cage as a sorcerer in the big, modern-day city and he has an apprentice to teach? What could possibly go wrong? While fans wait for the next Harry Potter film, (or the opening of the Harry Potter theme park) Disney are feeding them this alternate take on wizardry, complete with the young-magician-learns-he-is-the-chosen-one plot and wall to wall humour the entire family will enjoy (hey, it IS Disney, after all).
Here’s a stack of new images Disney released along with a new featurette titled Good and Evil, which I actually found more convincing than the film’s trailer. All of this merely confirms Nic Cage can rock any wig in any role, baby.
The Sorcerer’s Apprentice will be projected onto Australian cinema screens starting July 9 September. The US will watch it in July, the UK in August. Way to go, Disney.
Walt Disney Studios, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the creators of the National Treasure franchise, present The Sorcerer’s Apprentice — an innovative and epic romantic comedy adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.
Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can’t do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It’ll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
