A New Behind-The-Scenes Look At THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE!

From Yahoo! Movies comes this featurette of Disney’s upcoming fantasy THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE. The film reunites Nicolas Cage, Jerry Bruckheimer and Jon Turteltaub, respectively the star, producer and director of the blockbusters NATIONAL TREASURE and NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS.

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 protege. 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.

The screenplay is by Matt Lopez and Doug Miro & Carlo Bernard from a screen story by Matt Lopez and Larry Konner & Mark Rosenthal. THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE marks Nicolas Cage’s seventh collaboration with Jerry Bruckheimer, following THE ROCK, CON AIR, GONE IN 60 SECONDS, NATIONAL TREASURE, NATIONAL TREASURE: BOOK OF SECRETS and G-FORCE.

Rated PG, THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE will be in theaters (and go up against Christopher Nolan’s INCEPTION – yikes!) on July 16th. For more on the film, become a fan on Facebook and follow Disney Pictures on Twitter.
