Funny guy Jay Baruchel is in talks to star alongside Nicholas Cage in Jon Turteltaub's upcoming adventure "The Sorcerer's Apprentice."

According to Variety, Baruchel is expected to play the apprentice, while Cage stars as the sorcerer. Jerry Bruckheimer is producing the flick for Walt Disney Pictures.

As for the plot, the film is apparently taking place in contemporary New York, where a sorcerer seeks an apprentice. Yeah, I know that's not much, but that's all I got for you right now.

Baruchel recently starred in "Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist." He's got several projects coming up, including the romantic comedy "She's Out of My League," and "Jay and Seth vs. the Apocalypse," on which he'll star alongside Seth Rogen.
