The Sorcerer's Apprentice originated as a 1797 poem by Goethe and is best known as a sequence in Disney animated feature Fantasia. Can a tale about an apprentice and out-of-control magic mops be effectively stretched to a big-budget, full-length feature? 
There's no shortage of films about energetic youngsters busting moves these days, but Step Up is king of the genre, thanks to two hits set at the Baltimore's Maryland School of the Arts. 
It's fair to say that Jaden Smith has been afforded career opportunities that don't come to many kids. First of all, he landed the role of Will Smith's son in hit drama The Pursuit Of Happyness. Now one of the producers of that film – Will Smith! – has selected him to star in this remake of the 1984 martial-arts classic. Lucky break, huh?
