Monica Bellucci has joined the cast of Jon Turtletaub's The Sorcerer's Apprentice, currently shooting in New York with Nicolas Cage as the titular magic-wielder and Jay Baruchel as his assistant.
Bellucci will play a sorceress called Veronica, the long-lost love of Cage's Balthazar Blake. Some of you may remember the last time she played a sorceress, to quite terrifying effect in The Brothers Grimm, but hopefully this time she'll play a character less fond of draining the life from young girls to keep her youthful looks.
The film, which also stars Alfred Molina, Toby Kebbell and Teresa Palmer, is due out next July.
