First Look at Disney’s THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE… Good Grief

I was actually very excited for the new Disney flick ‘The Sorcerer’s Apprentice’, but not anymore. I have no idea what they have decided to do with this movie but they went in a very wrong direction! The movie is being directed by ‘National Treasure’ director Jon Turteltaub and stars Nicolas Cage which is a bad sign in itself as Balthazar the good wizard, Jay Baruchel as the apprentice, and Alfred Molina as Horvath the villain. The film is supposed to be based on the original Disney animated characters from ‘Fantasia’ but I would say this is nothing like that at all.

A sorcerer (Cage) leaves his workshop in the hands of his apprentice (Baruchel), who gets into trouble when the broomstick he’s tasked to do his chores for him somehow develops a mind of its own.

Ummm… right. Check out the photos below and rant away. Experience the magic!

    Nicolas Cage looks less like a wizard and more like an aging wannabe rock has-been. I love Jay Baruchel, but I’m totally unconvinced. And The Sorcerer’s Apprentice wasn’t even the best story in Fantasia. *sigh*

    ugh not another Cage mishap. This looks as lame as lame can be. The director & actor duo is terrible – but kids and their mommies and daddies go to see the terrible National Treasure movies so I guess they think they are bankable :(

    in the first pic, nick looks like alice cooper. hollywood needs to write good stories. i mean, they’ll soon be making tv commercials into movies. some stories should stay comic books or cartoons or skits on television because they only work in that context. i mean that shit up there looks so fuckin’ silly. “dude, what if we made winnie the pooh but we’ll get john goodman to be pooh and he lives in a house that looks like a tree? and he has a jackass friend of his played by steve-o, who’s really depressed.” damn, this idea sounds better to me, and it still sucks because it’s meant to be a fuckin’ cartoon.
