Nicholas Cage Is Mad Eye Moody?

It's been a really slow week for me. Nothing much happening that caught my interest except for the new trailer from Disney's Sorcerer's Apprentice

I bet by now you've already know what's this story is all about. But, if you don't, worry not. Sorcerer's Apprentice is an adaptation from the famous Goethe's poem and yes, it has been used before in Disney's ever famous movie Fantasia which I think is known better to us than the poem itself. If you remember the scene with Mickey and his mischief with the broom, then you got it, - Sorcerer's Apprentice is basically written (or adapted) from that scene. Only that it is done in a more modern tone and different take on storytelling.

Hah, I lied. I wish it was all about the broom because it would've make much more sense than what they are trying to pull here. I don't mean to be all negative about this movie but tying it to Fantasia is not a good move on their behalf. Watch the trailer and you get what I mean. It doesn't have anything to do with the Fantasia we know at all. So why bother saying that it is based on or resurrected Fantasia in the first place? But I have to give the movie a credit, though the trailer does look beautiful on the screen.

For your information, Jay Baruchel will play the role of the sorcerer's apprentice and Nicholas Cage will have the lead as the sorcerer (or Master Yen Sid if you prefer it in Fantasia context).

Anyway here's the trailer.



Will this movie works? It has Nicholas Cage in it, which all he does recently is spell disappointment on the screen. It's a Jerry Bruckheimer movie, but will it be a sure fire? It has loads of effects thrown in. Will it be just another CGI laden movie? Let me know what you think.

p/s: Is it me or Nicholas Cage looks like a cross between Mad Eye Moody in Harry Potter and Hugh Jackman Van Helsing?

Zombie, out.
