The latest Sorcerer's Apprentice trailer is loaded with new footage and serves as a good character primer for those unfamiliar with the movie. The action-packed trailer even manages to squeeze in some humor and a nice homage to the Fantasia short that inspired it.

This summer's action-adventure The Sorcerer's Apprentice is loosely based on the Fantasia animated short starring Mickey Mouse. But here, modern day, powerful sorcerers and wizards wage a secret war with the fate of the entire world at stake. Fearing the day he will no longer be up to the task, Master Sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage), seeks an apprentice to take up his battle against the evil sorcerer Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina) and his forces of darkness.

This new featurette from Disney's The Sorcerer's Apprentice explains the entire story of the movie going back to the classic Mickey Mouse apprentice scene from Fantasia! Aptly named, the video is called "Fantasia: The Coolest Scene Ever".
Master sorcerer Balthazar Blake (Nicolas Cage) recruits a seemingly everyday guy (Jay Baruchel) in his mission to defend New York City from his evil arch-nemesis - sorcerer Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina).

Walt Disney Pictures has released three new character posters for director Jon Turteltaub's The Sorcerer's Apprentice. The posters feature some of the powerful magic-wielding characters in the movie, including "The Villain," Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina); "The Sorceress," Veronica (Monica Bellucci); and "The Wizard," Sun Lok (Gregory Woo). Produced by action-meister Jerry Bruckheimer, The Sorcerer's Apprentice promises more thrills than the Fantasia short with Mickey Mouse that inspired the movie.

Disney has released an action-packed new TV spot for its upcoming live-action fantasy movie The Sorcerer's Apprentice that makes the movie appear to be a cross between Harry Potter and Wanted (minus the guns, of course). Very loosely based on the Fantasia (1940) short that starred Mickey Mouse, the movie revolves around an elder sorcerer (played by Nicolas Cage) who takes on a young college student (Jay Baruchel) as his apprentice to help him protect the world from the machinations of an evil magician (Alfred Molina) and his cohorts.

With the villains for Spider-Man 4 still a mystery, there's one former villain who wouldn't mind returning, and no it's not Willem Dafoe (who showed up in all three previous Spider-Man movies, in one way or another). Alfred Molina, who played Doctor Octopus in Spider-Man 2, told MTV he'd happily come back, though there might be a hurdle or two to climb before it's possible:
No one's mentioned it, and I think it's highly unlikely, seeing as he died.
Sure, Molina died, but death in the comic book universe has a way of not lasting forever:
At the Spider-Man 2 premiere in London, I turned around to one of the producers and said, "It's a real shame that I died, because I would've loved to do another one of these." And he said, "Oh, characters don't die in this universe, they just disappear."
Are there any favorites from Spidey's past that Molina can recommend before screenwriter David Lindsay-Abaire turns in the script and Sony announces who they are?
The only thing I'd like to see is to concentrate on one villain. Having two or three of them sort of dilutes the potency of it.
After the villain overload of Spider-Man 3, fans would probably agree. However, only one villain would likely mean no Doc Ock, meaning no Alfred Molina.

The Best Supporting Actor category has some very worthy contenders this year, and we'd just like to take this opportunity to add one more for thought.
Alfred Molina absolutely steals the show as Richard Gere's sensitive, sweaty sidekick in The Hoax.
True, Gere has been getting some buzz for his performance as the man who nearly succeeded in faking a Howard Hughes autobiography, but we think Molina should be on your radar as well.

a Woman, Ocean's Thirteen) and Alfred Molina (Spider Man 2, Magnolia) to the cast. Pink Panther 2 will come out on February 13, 2009.
