`~John Doe~`
Edit cast list for:
The Sorcerer's Apprentice (2010)?
Trivia:
Two posters in Drake Stone's apartment are actually advertisements for the "Magic: the Gathering" card game - the game's logo appears above paintings of Drake, as if it was the title of his magic act. The Chinatown sequence took 5 months to plan. Half a ton of confetti was used in this sequence. One of the people that Horvath summons is Abigail Williams. At age 12, Williams was the first person to make the accusation of witchcraft in 1692 Salem, Massachusetts. This led to the Salem witch trials and the deaths of at least 20 people. There is no definite evidence of what happened to Williams after the trials ended. Real wolves were used in the scene where they chase Dave down the street. However, they were overwhelmingly tame and affectionate creatures so track points were painted on their faces so that the CG artists could animate a more scary face onto them. The song that David plays with the Tesla's rays is `~Stevie Wonder~`'s "Superstition". The second longer song is OneRepublic's "Secrets". The idea for the film was largely `~6039~`'s as he wanted to explore a mystic world with a magical character. Balthazar says that humans use only 10% of their brains. This is actually a common misconception that has no scientific basis; humans use all areas of their brains, just at different times. Dave's Tesla coil lightning bolts may have been special effects, but they accurately depict the giant electrical sparks capable of being generated by a Tesla coil of that size. The Incantus - the sorcerer's Bible - took 3 months to be put together and was deliberately aged to resemble a tome from centuries back. Although the film, as its title shows, is ultimately based on `~Johann Wolfgang von Goethe~`'s famous German poem @%Der Zauberlehrling%@ from 1797 (which inspired the piece of music by `~Paul Dukas~` from 1897, also briefly heard here, which in turn was used in the adaptation in @%Fantasia%@ starring Mickey Mouse), the German version completely missed this connection, translating the title instead as @%Duell der Zauberer%@ (Duel of the Sorcerers). In the bathroom scene, Balthazar uses the Hungarian Mirror trick against Maxim Horvath. Horvath's last name is a typical Hungarian surname. It means "Croatian". The 1935 Rolls Royce Phantom that was used in the film is a one of a kind and actually belongs to `~6039~`. The filmmakers were trying to find a really cool classic car and Cage offered it as an option to use.
