Monday, July 5, 2010 at 8:40AM Watch Five Minutes of 'The Sorcerer's Apprentice'
One thing a movie should never have to overcome is the perception of its star. There usually is some carryover these days from the public impression a major star leaves on ticket buyers and the ticket buying itself. We saw Tom Cruise's couch-jumping take a toll on his box office, Mel Gibson's seemingly more-evident-than-ever racism keep wallets in pockets, and even Lindsay Lohan, although it may have been too early to evaluate her stock, earned such a bad reputation that it's hard for her to even get hired now.
In that mix is Nicolas Cage, and while his career has been up and down for years, the recent stuff - owing money, having to sell dozens of houses or whatever it was - can't help a guy who has seen a few expensive bombs roll his way and already gave off a pretty weird vibe.
There's a new extended clip for The Sorcerer's Apprentice, one that sets the stage for literally the entire movie, as near as I can tell, and it moves very well for this kind of flick. About the only thing that could stop it might be...Nic Cage. Well, OK, Inception, too, but you get the point.
