Yahoo! Movies dishes out the brand new trailer for Jon Turteltaub’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. The feature stars Nicolas Cage as Balthazar Blake, a master sorcerer in modern-day Manhattan trying to defend the city from his arch-nemesis, Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). Balthazar can’t do it alone, so he recruits Dave Stutler (Jay Baruchel), a seemingly average guy who demonstrates hidden potential, as his reluctant protégé. The sorcerer gives his unwilling accomplice a crash course in the art and science of magic, and together, these unlikely partners work to stop the forces of darkness. It’ll take all the courage Dave can muster to survive his training, save the city and get the girl as he becomes the sorcerer’s apprentice.

Be sure to check out the new posters below for each of the characters in the upcoming feature. On a side note, it’s always nice to hear the instrumental to Depeche Mode’s “Pain that I’m Used To” in the background of these trailers. The Sorcerer’s Apprentice is out in theaters on July 14th from Walt Disney Pictures.:

Arcade Classic Asteroids Getting Silver Screen Adaptation

That’s right folks. The game where a triangle shoots rocks into smaller rocks until they disappear is getting the film treatment. Universal won the rights to develop the movie after winning a bidding war for them. The scribe behind the adaptation is new Matt Lopez, while being produced by Lorenzo di Bonaventura. He also produced Transformers.

Really? A bidding war for Asteroids the movie? What’s next? Tetris? Or an adaptation of the classic game E.T. for the Atari 2600 would be along the same caliber. As long as we’re at it, why not an adaptation of The Floor is Lava since we’re pulling from childhood games.
