Nic Cage Reveals 'Sorcerer's Apprentice' Secrets
Nicolas Cage re-teams with super producer Jerry Bruckheimer for the sixth time ('The Rock,' 'Con Air,' 'National Treasure' and more) to play a modern-day wizard in a live-action take on Disney's 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice,' and ET is on the set! Sporting long locks, Nic tells ET he chose the project because, "I wanted to do something very magical; something that dealt with fantasy, as opposed to just straight-up violence. It occurred to me if you use metaphors and you use magic, then the body count goes down and becomes a lot more fun for everybody the whole family." In theaters July 2010, the film follows Nic as he searches for an apprentice in New York City, played by Jay Baruchel ('Tropic Thunder'). Of course, the original "Sorcerer's Apprentice" was a segment in Disney's animated 'Fantasia' from 1940, in which Mickey Mouse gets ahold of the Sorcerer's magic hat and finds himself in a heap of trouble when he loses control of the broomsticks he commands to clean up the castle.
