Casting news abound for this installment of Cinema Bits:

The Sorcerer's Apprentice - Alfred Molina (Spider-Man 2)has been added to the cast of this upcoming Disney film in the role of the villainous magician Horvath, The Hollywood Reporter announced. The film is based around the iconic animated segment of the same name from Disney's Fantasia (which seriously needs to be re-released on DVD and Blu-Ray). Molina joins Nicolas Cage and Jay Baruchel in this film helmed by National Treasure director Jon Turteltaub. The story centers on an average college student (Baruchel) who is reluctantly recruited to work for a sorcerer named Balthazar Blake (Cage). The man gives him a crash course in the art and science of magic to prepare him for a battle against the forces of darkness in modern Manhattan. This is perfect since Nic Cage probably thinks he is a wizard in real life anyway.

Inception - Leonardo DiCaprio has signed on to take part in The Dark Knight director Christopher Nolan's next project (according to Variety). Film is supposed to start production later this year and though the script has been kept under tight wraps, Warner Bros. has described the film as a "contemporary sci-fi actioner set within the architecture of the mind." That's about as helpful as saying it's "a film with a story told through various shots, dialogue and with the help of actors." And I'm sure fanboys are still crying that Nolan isn't jumping to direct a follow-up to The Dark Knight. Are they that eager to miss out on another Best Picture nomination? ZING!

Megan Fox casting - The Hollywood Reporter got the news that Transformers vixen Megan Fox has signed on to take part in two different comic book property films. The first is called Fathom which has Fox playing "a young woman named Aspen who learns she is a member of a race of aquatic humanoids who possess the ability to control water." And if you check out this illustration, she's definitely got the goods for this part. The second project is the already announced adaptation of Jonah Hex, in which she will star alongside Josh Brolin and John Malkovich. She will be portraying Leila, "a gun-wielding beauty and love interest of Hex (Brolin), a scarred bounty hunter tracking a voodoo practitioner (Malkovich) who wants to raise an army of undead to liberate the South." Megan Fox could get a role playing a refrigerator in an ALF movie and I'd definitely go see it, so these sound great.

Sucker Punch - With Watchmen hitting theaters in a couple days, Entertainment Weekly says director Zack Snyder has already gathered up his cast for this action fantasy film. Offers have gone out to Amanda Seyfried (Mamma Mia) for the lead role of Baby Doll, as well as supporting roles for Vanessa Hudgens, Abbie Cornish, Evan Rachel Wood, and Emma Stone. Story is set in the 1950s, and follows a girl who is confined to a mental institution by her stepfather, who intends to have her lobotomized in five days. While there, she imagines an alternative reality to hide her from the pain, and in that world, she begins planning her escape, needing to steal five objects to help get her out before she is deflowered by a vile man. We can also guarantee that there will be unnecessary slow motion.
