THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE Trailer!

This evening hosts the premiere of the first trailer for the film The SORCERER’S APPRENTICE. My thoughts? Nic Cage has awesome hair yet again, Alfred Molina looks to be an outstanding villain, Jay Baruchel should be a joy and well, I think this looks like a fun summer film, which it is. The film is directed by Jon Turteltaub, who previously directed Cage in the NATIONAL TREASURE films and also helmed classics such as COOL RUNNINGS and 3 NINJAS. The script is penned by Carlo Bernard and Matt Lopez, both of whom haven’t done anything spectacular. I will say that I am digging the vibe of the film. I saw a brief reference to the original story near the end of the trailer with the magical mops and pails. Good times! The plot synopsis for the film is as follows:

An average college student (Jay Baruchel) is reluctantly recruited to work for a sorcerer (Nicolas Cage), who gives him a crash course in the art and science of magic to prepare him for a battle against the forces of darkness in modern Manhattan.

The kind folks over at Apple are hosting an HD version of the trailer, so follow the screenie and check it out!
