Bruckheimer, Cage, And Turteltaub's SORCERER'S APPRENTICE Trailer Is Here!!
Merrick here...The film stars Jay Baruchel (TROPIC THUNDER, NIGHT AT THE MUSEUM 2) as a hapless kid who apprentices Cage's...well...Nic Cageish sorcerer.
Despite its title, this trailer appears to have little in common with the either Goethe's progenitor poem from 1797, or the FANTASIA short which it inspired. Maybe that's just a trailer phenomenon & the film will at least have a few of the tale's signature moves?
Here's the new trailer - what do you think?
Here's Disney's interpretation of the material from back in the day. For fun...
