The Sorcerer's Apprentice
Starring:
Nicolas Cage
,
Jay Baruchel
and
Alfred Molina
Directed by:
Jon Turteltaub
Opens July 16, 2010
Cage reunites with
National Treasure
director Turteltaub for this live-action adaptation of Disney’s trailblazing animated short subject, which itself was based on the 1797 Goethe poem. In modern-day New York City, a hapless schlub (Baruchel) is recruited by a wild-eyed magician (Cage) to help defend the city from an evil wizard (Molina) bent on its destruction.
What We Think:
Parts of this film remind us of
National Treasure
(decent), others of
The Vampire’s Assistant
(not so decent), still others of
Dragonball
(disastrous). Cage’s recent uptick (we loved
Bad Lieutenant
and
Kick-Ass
) has us encouraged.
Cool to Know:
The original animated short subject debuted in 1942 as part of Disney’s feature-length
Fantasia
. The Academy was so impressed by its innovative blend of music and visuals that they invented a special award for it.
