THE SORCERER'S APPRENTICE.  Walt Disney studios, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Jon Turteltaub, the creators of the National Treasure franchise, present The Sorcerer's Apprentice--an innovative and epic romantic comedy adventure about a sorcerer and his hapless apprentice who are swept into the center of an ancient conflict between good and evil.

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.

TRON LEGACY. Tron is a 3D high-tech adventure set in a digital world that's unlike anything ever captured on the big screen.

Sam Flynn (Garrett Hedlund), the tech-savvy 27-year-old son of Kevin Flynn (Jeff Bridges), looks into his father's disappearance and finds himself pulled into the same world of fierce programs and gladiatorial games where his father has been living for 25 years. Along with Kevin's loyal confidant (Olivia Wilde), father and son embark on a life-and-death journey across a visually-stunning cyber universe that has become far more advanced and exceedingly dangerous.

WHEN IN ROME. An ambitious young New Yorker (Kristen Bell), disillusioned with romance, takes a whirlwind trip to Rome where she defiantly plucks magic coins from a 'foolish' fountain of love, inexplicably igniting the passion of an odd group of suitors: a sausage magnate (Danny Devito), a street magician (Jon Heder), an adoring painter (Will Arnett) and a self-admiring model (Dax Shepard). But when a charming reporter (Josh Duhamel) pursues her with equal zest, how will she know if his love is the real thing?


Other upcoming movies include:


You Again. Starring Kristen Bell, Jamie Lee Curtis, Sigourney Weaver and Betty White, You Again is an outrageous comedy about a successful PR pro who discovers that her brother is marrying her high school arch nemesis.

Secretariat. Against all odds, housewife and mother Penny Chenery (Diane Lane)--with the help of veteran trainer Lucien Laurin (John Malkovich)--navigates the male-dominated horseracing business, ultimately taking Secretariat on a spectacular journey to become the first Triple Crown winner in 25 years and perhaps the greatest racehorse of all time.

The Debt. Starring Academy Award winner Helen Mirren (The Queen), Sam Worthington and Tom Wilkinson. In this new thriller from director John Madden, three Israeli Mossad agents were sent on a secret mission in 1965 to capture a notorious Nazi war criminal in East Berlin.

Everybody's Fine. Starring Robert DeNiro, Drew Barrymore, Kate Beckinsale and Sam Rockwell. A remake of the 1990 Italian film, it follows a widower who embarks on an impromptu road trip to reconnect with each of his grown children.

The Last Song. Touchstone Pictures presents the film version of an upcoming novel by Nicolas Sparks. It will star Miley Cyrus, Greg Kinnear and Kelly Preston. Set in a small southern beach town, an estranged father gets a chance to spend the summer with his reluctant teenage daughter who'd rather be home in New York.
