According to Variety, Rocknrolla actor Toby Kebbell has joined the cast of THE SORCERER’S APPRENTICE, starring Jay Baruchel and Nicolas Cage (check out his Van Helsing look), directed by Jon Turtletaub.
Kebbell will play the character Drake Stone, a celebrity illusionist who joins forces with Alfred Molina’s evil sorcerer. Also starring hottie Teresa Palmer.
Based on the popular segment in Disney’s animated classic Fantasia, the story takes place in contemporary New York, where a wizard (Nicolas Cage) searches for an apprentice (Jay Baruchel).
Kebbell was in Match Point and Control but his eccentric role in Guy Ritchie’s Rocknrolla is probably where he finally gets more recognizable, plus having the movie poster with him as the headline kinda helped.
