New photos of actress Monica Bellucci, reveal her as the witch 'Veronica' in "The Sorcerer's Apprentice", the upcoming Disney family adventure, directed by Jon Turteltaub, produced by Jerry Bruckheimer and starring Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel.
The live action feature is a re-imagining of the famed "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment in Disney's animated "Fantasia", which in turn is based on the late 1890's symphonic poem by composer Paul Dukas and the 1797 Johann Wolfgang Goethe ballad.
Premise of the new film follows average college student (Baruchel) reluctantly recruited to work for a sorcerer (Cage), who gives him a crash course in the art/science of magic to prepare him for a battle against the forces of darkness in modern Manhattan.
Cage's sorcerer is named 'Balthazar Blake', Teresa Palmer is the love interest of Baruchel's character, Alfred "Doc Ock" Molina plays evil magician 'Horvath' and Toby Kebbell is celebrity illusionist 'Drake Stone, who joins forces with Horvath.
"The Sorcerer's Apprentice", written by Lawrence Konner and Mark Rosenthal will be distributed by Walt Disney Pictures, July 16, 2010...
