New 5-minute clip from The Sorcerer’s Apprentice hits the web

Disney has just released a new 5-minute clip from THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE called “First Lesson”, where we meet a young version of Jay Baruchel’s character who is given a cool little magical artifact by hobo Nic Cage’s Balthazar Blake. The kid, of course, then does something he shouldn’t, and the next thing you know, Alfred Molina shows up and shit starts getting wild.

Go on and check it out below or head on over to Yahoo! Movies to see it in HD.

THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE opens on July 14th.

Synopsis: 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 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.
