The first official pictures from Disney's fantasy movie "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" have been unveiled by Fanboyz.net. The three images, which were scanned from an unnamed magazine, give a glimpse at two of the movie's characters, Balthazar Blake and Dave Stutler.
The first image features the master sorcerer who is seen talking to his younger partner while he points his index finger to Dave. Another picture, additionally, exposes Balthazar in his all-black outfit walking through a gate. Meanwhile, the latest shot captures Dave striking a fighting pose.
Based on the popular "Sorcerer's Apprentice" segment in Disney's animated film "Fantasia", "The Sorcerer's Apprentice" is set in modern-day Manhattan where Balthazar Blake tries to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath. As he cannot do it alone, he recruits Dave Stutler, a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protege. Dave then has to get through an uneasy way to learn the art and science behind the sorcerer's magic.
Balthazar is portrayed by Nicolas Cage, while his apprentice, Dave, is played by Jay Baruchel. Alfred Molina also joins the cast ensemble as villain Maxim Horvath. Produced by Jerry Bruckheimer, the drama film eyes for a July 16, 2010 release date.
