Our pals over at Fanboyz.net scored some great scans. Jeff tells me they are from the Preview Movie Guide that was given out at Cinemark movie theaters featuring some cool new looks at Disney’s new The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The film stars Nic Cage, Jay Baruchel, Alfred Molina, Teresa Palmer and is directed by Jon Turltetaub.

Based on the poem by Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and later the animated short in Fantasia, Sorcerer’s Apprentice tells the story of a young wizard in training, who causes problems for his master when a spell on a broomstick goes awry. However this re-imagining plans to feature a modern day story with some dark, adventurous elements to it.

The new story centers on an average college student (Baruchel) who is reluctantly recruited to work for a sorcerer named Balthazar Blake (Cage). The man gives him a crash course in the art and science of magic to prepare him for a battle against the forces of darkness (Alfred Molina) in modern Manhattan. I am somewhat excited about this movie as the modern day telling of this story can actually be kind of cool in a Harry Potter kind of way. Kebbell seems like he’d be perfect in this role.
