The Sorcerer’s Apprentice Good VS Evil Featurette
Jun 2nd
Jerry Bruckheimer films generally aren’t my cup of tea, everything I’ve seen so far of this just reminds me of the National Treasure films, but with wands, pointy hat’s, dragon’s and magic. It didn’t surprise me in the slightest that it’s directed by the same guy who helmed those two films – Jon Turteltaub. On a more positive note, I’ve really enjoyed Nicolas Cage on screen lately, he was great in Kick Ass and if you haven’t seen Bad Lieutenant: Port Of Call New Orleans you need to do yourself a favour and check it out, it’s fantastic. I’m a big fan of Alfred Molina and Toby Kebbell as well, who both recently starred in Jerry Bruckheimer’s other film in 2010 – Prince Of Persia: Sand’s Of Time (which was pretty poor). You can check out the Good VS Evil featurette for The Sorcerer’s Apprentice below. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is released 13th August.
In “Good vs. Evil,” we’re introduced to Dave [Jay Baruchel], Balthazar Blake’s [Nicolas Cage] apprentice, as he begins to master the art of sorcery through his teacher. We also discover the centuries old rivalry between Balthazar and his nemesis, Maxim Horvath [Alfred Molina].
New Kick Ass Poster And International Trailer
Feb 2nd
You have to be a miserable sod if you don’t like the look of this, a real doom and gloom nay-sayer and negative nancy (if your not fond of blood I pardon you). This looks like so much fun, this is creeping up my list of most anticipated films of 2010. Kick Ass is in cinemas April 2nd
A twisted, funny, high-octane adventure, director Matthew Vaughn brings KICK-ASS to the big screen. KICK-ASS tells the story of average teenager Dave Lizewski (Aaron Johnson), a comic-book fanboy who decides to take his obsession as inspiration to become a real-life superhero. As any good superhero would, he chooses a new name — Kick-Ass — assembles a suit and mask to wear, and gets to work fighting crime. There’s only one problem standing in his way: Kick-Ass has absolutely no superpowers. His life is forever changed as he inspires a subculture of copy cats, meets up with a pair of crazed vigilantes — including an 11-year-old sword-wielding dynamo, Hit Girl (Chloë Moretz) and her father, Big Daddy (Nicolas Cage) — and forges a friendship with another fledgling superhero, Red Mist (Christopher Mintz-Plasse). But thanks to the scheming of a local mob boss Frank D’Amico (Mark Strong), that new alliance will be put to the test.

A movie with Nicolas Cage doesn’t repell me as much as it used to after watching his amazing performance in The Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call – New Orleans, this actually looks like a good bit of popcorn fun. I think Toby Kebbell is one of the best young actors around as well so I look forward to seeing him in this. Check out the trailer below
Loosely adapted from the classic story from Fantasia, and based in modern-day Manhattan, Nicolas Cage plays Balthazar Blake, a sorcerer who recruits and trains a young protege (Jay Baruchel) to help fight the forces of darkness. Celebrity illusionist Drake Stone (Toby Kebbell) joins forces with an evil sorcerer named Horvath (Alfred Molina), to “gain ultimate powers.” The film, also features Teresa Palmer (Bedtime Stories) as Baruchel’s love interest and Monica Bellucci (Passion of the Christ, The Matrix Reloaded and my favorite MILF!) as Veronica, a sorceress and the long-lost love of Cage’s character. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is set to hit theaters on July 16th 2010.
