Another round of casting stories is coming your way! Here’s the nitty gritty:

• Alice Krige (Silent Hill) has been cast in an undisclosed role in Thor: The Dark World and teased fans, saying she may be “unrecognizable.”
• Rebel Wilson (Bachelorette) is set to star as the imaginative lead character at the heart of Miguel Arteta’s Unicorn Store, an indie comedy scripted by Samantha McIntyre.
• Alicia Minshew (All My Children) will play the female lead opposite Val Laurent (Sal) In the romantic drama Desires of the Heart, directed by James Kicklighter and Rajesh Rathi.

The development process is such that something that may have started out as a fairy good idea can mutate to serve too many masters. This much is certain, 2010’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice seems to have begun as an idea to turn the beloved short in Walt Disney’s Fantasia into a feature length film. But that short can’t really lead to a narrative, only one set piece. So instead the creators had to borrow from the popular myths of the time, specifically Harry Potter. And so Jay Baruschel is Dave, the hapless college student who experienced magic as a child (but no one believed him), but is actually a secretly awesome magician. He is taken in by Balthazar Blake (Nicholas Cage) to be Blake’s apprentice and to learn the ways of magic to protect himself from Maxim Horvath (Alfred Molina). My review of Jon Turteltaub’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice on Blu-ray follows after the jump.
