Nicolas Cage as The Sorcerer

Hollywood's wig master Nicolas Cage is back in action in Jon Turteltaub's upcoming action comedy "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice," which Walt Disney and Jerry Bruckheimer are releasing July 16, 2010.

A first trailer for the film has debuted online, and you can see it below. It looks like we're in for plenty of big visual effects, silly action and a crazy Cage as a sorcerer. Luckily, his hair doesn't look that awful.

Cage plays Balthazar Blake, a freaky sorcerer who recruits average guy Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel) to help him fight in his big battle against his ruthless arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina).

Daily news dose: 'Pooh' writer to pen 'Wanted 2;' Lionsgate won't do 'Bloody Valentine' sequel

DateMonday, April 20, 2009 at 12:24AM | By AuthorFranck Tabouring

Here's your dose of film news for April 20, 2009:

• Screenwriter Evan Spiliotopoulos, whose credits include "Pooh's Heffalump Movie," is set to write "Wanted 2" from a story by Chris Morgan. Considering most characters died in the first film, it will be tough to put together an intriguing story, which will focus on main character Wesley Gibson (James McAvoy). Timur Bekmambetov may return to direct the sequel. (The Hollywood Reporter)

• According to the guys at ShockTillYouDrop, Lionsgate is not interested in developing a sequel to Patrick Lussier's recent box office success "My Bloody Valentine 3-D." This is quite surprising, considering the film grossed $51 million domestically. In the end, not moving forward with a sequel may actually be the best decision.

• Toby Kebbell, who starred as the hilarious Johnny Quid in "RocknRolla," has joined the cast of Jon Turteltaub's upcoming adventure "The Sorcerer’s Apprentice," which is currently shooting. The film centers on an apprentice (Jay Baruchel) who is supposed to take care of a magic workshop when a sorcerer (Nicolas Cage) gives it to him. (Variety)

• Sofia Coppola's next film is titled "Somewhere," and it will star Stephen Dorff and Elle Fanning, according to Variety. The movie follows an actor who lives an extravagant lifestyle at the Chateau Marmont until he gets an unexpected visit from his 11-year-old daughter. Coppola also directed the wonderful "Lost in Translation."
