Two Injured in “Sorcerer’s Apprentice” Stunt

During the filming of a stunt for the upcoming “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice,” two pedestrians suffered minor injuries when a stuntman crashed his Ferrari into a storefront in Times Square, according to the Hollywood Reporter. The sequence was part of a car chase sequence for the film.

Police said a 23-year-old man was hit by a falling pole and complained of a head injury, and a 21-year-old woman suffered a foot injury. Both injuries were considered minor, and the stuntman driving the car was uninjured.

“On site production medics responded immediately and two pedestrians were taken to the hospital for evaluation,” said a statement from the production of “The Sorcerer’s Apprentice”, which is a Walt Disney Pictures and Jerry Bruckheimer Films production.

Set in contemporary New York and starring Nicholas Cage as the title character, the film is based on the segment of the same name from Disney’s animated “Fantasia.” The film will be out in 2010.
