2010 looks to be a tremendous year for fans of Nic Cage’s many stunning wigs. Not only will we be able to see him in Season of the Witch but we will also see him wig out (sorry) in Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.
As you might have guessed by the title, the film is a “reimagining” of the Sorcerer’s Apprentice segment from Fantastia. Near the end of the trailer (at 2:13) you’ll see the only shred of evidence that suggests this is really the case, as Jay Baruchel seems to be fighting off a flood of cleaning products. The rest of it is him being picked as a chosen one and fighting off demons and such, learning that he’s far more than he thought he was! Because what better way is there to adapt a classic, wordless piece of animation history than with a stereotypical male fantasy film?
Check the trailer on Apple and wonder how well this will fare when it hits next July.
One other thing to note- while the car chase scenes in Times Square appear to be completely CGI in the trailer, they actually managed to smash a Ferrari through a Sbarro’s (horray!) Check the video.

Man this movie just sounds awful, What's next, a live action adaptation of the pink elephant musical montage from Dumbo? Oh wait, nevermind they already remade that, if I remember correctly it was called Affliction
Who did you steal that line from?
YouTube video of the Nic Cage I miss: Nic Cage is CRAZY for pachinko in some Japanese commercials. http://bit.ly/6NB3yf
I actualy think that nic cage can act fairly well when he wants to, most of the time he just doesn't care and wants to collect a pay check. And whats with all this ben affleck nonsense?
I have no idea why there are so many haters on this project. Same team behind National Treasure. It has Freaks and Geeks alum and Nic Cage. When he says "are you insane?" and Nic motions "bit" I thought that was great. Yeah it could be about as craptastic as Bulletproof Monk, but I think it looks like fun.
Is "same team behind National Treasure" supposed to make me WANT to see this? Is this National Go Insane Day?
HADOOOOOOOOOOOOOUUUKEN!
Gotta go with Kate on this one. People forget Raising Arizona. It's just that Nick takes a lot of roles that simply aren't suited for him and he sort of forces his presence into them. Hence you like stuff like Windtalkers.
