Ahoy, squirts! Quint here. I've done two movies, 7 hours of travel and some overheated wandering about the fair city of Montreal on less than two hours of sleep, so forgive me if this piece is short and sweet.
I'm not gonna review Sorcerer's Apprentice or Ip Man 2 until I awake, but I wanted to make sure to get out two rather interesting tidbits that Jay Baruchel dropped at his Q&A for the opening night premiere of Sorcerer's Apprentice.
Naturally, any sequel they do is dependent on this one making a bunch of money, but Baruchel says right now they're wanting to incorporate another well known bit from the original Fantasia animated movie... this time the dreaded Chernabog, the Satanic mountain that has given children nightmares for 7 decades now. Yeah, this guy:
Baruchel also said the next film looks to divide itself between New York and England and will feature Excalibur, a prospect Baruchel is very much looking forward to because he said he worships the John Boorman movie.
Morgana and Merlin feature big time in the story of the first flick, which I found to be surprisingly fun. Well, not surprisingly. I've been looking forward to it since Nic Cage started kicking ass (or ass... kick. heh.) and taking names a few movies back.
Oh, and, naturally, the filmmakers and the studio want to do three Sorcerer's Apprentice films, leaving two more should this one make some money.
That's the news. Tomorrow I'll be back with full reviews of this one and Donnie Yen and Sammo Hung being Gods among men in Ip Man 2.
