New images from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice

Walt Disney Pictures has released a new batch of images from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice. From producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, The Sorcerer’s Apprentice centers on a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.

Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) is 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 pit their powers against those of the fiercest—and most ruthless—villains of all time. 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.” The screenplay is by Matt Lopez, Doug Miro and Carlo Bernard from a screen story by Lawrence Konner, Mark Rosenthal and Matt Lopez.

The Sorcerer’s Apprentice opens in U.S. theaters on July 14th, 2010.
