Ever thought to yourself, “Gee, I wish Harry Potter took place in a modern day NYC and Nic Cage played Dumbledore.” No? Well too bad, Disney is fulfilling your wish anyway. Above is the trailer for the Jon Turtletaub directed, Jerry Bruckheimer produced actioner The Sorcerer’s Apprentice.

Wait didn’t we just see a film about a vampire’s assistant? We sure did. But that’s not the crime against creativity here. That crime would be that this film is based on Paul Dukas’s musical poem “Fantasia.” Which you all would know from the classic Disney animation of the same name.

Not technically a remake, though you could call it one. I’d say more along the lines of a reimagining. Albeit, a reimagining with fake New York sets and too much CGI. Oh Disney.

Side note: Between this and National Treasure Nicolas Cage loves to suckle at the teet of Mickey Mouse.
