VIDEO: Nicholas Cage stunt driver crashes Ferrari in NYC, injures two
Nicholas Cage stunt driver crash in NYC – Click above to watch video after the jump
It's not enough we must suffer the anguish of actually watching Nicholas Cage films; now our lives are in danger during their filming. Last night around 1AM EST, a stunt driver for the new Cage movie The Sorceror's Apprentice lost control of the Ferrari he was driving and plowed prancing horse-first into a Sbarro's on the corner of 7th Avenue and 47th Street in Times Square. Eye witnesses say the Ferrari was being chased by a Mercedes while weaving through fake traffic in Times Square, but lost control after passing a car on the right. It then swerved left and jumped the curbed before taking out a lamppost (which landed on a guy), knocking a woman to the ground and destroying the front entrance of a Sbarro's. The street was closed to traffic for filming, but at least one of the injured was not associated with the movie. Based on the poem that inspired Disney's Fantasia, The Sorceror's Apprentice better make some serious box office coin to pay for the inevitable lawsuit that's on its way. Being a Nick Cage film, there's about as much chance of that happening as being hit by a Ferrari while walking in front of a Sbarro's in Times Square. Check out the amateur eye-witness video of the crash after the jump.

why not the LS2LS7? 1:39PM (5/04/2009)
I dunno, National Treasure did alright. Well enough to do a sequel, and if you look at the sequel's box office take, it might lead to a third.
Also, the Sorceror's Apprentice was only one portion of Fantasia, the section with the walking broomsticks and Mickey Mouse.

Did everyone forget about "Gone in 60 Seconds"? Great movie if you ask me.

If his leg heals well and he gets the money that I assume is coming to him, he might not be that upset. I'd trade a broken (recoverable) leg for a few million.

maybe they should have done it when the street was dry not wet dumb a**es.

They often purposely wet the roads for a couple of reasons such as better effects. Most notably they do it so that if it rains during one day of a multi-day session, they can still shoot the night scene and be consistent.
I'll admit, it's not the best idea during a high-speed chase scene.

No kidding, what's wrong with a chase scene on DRY roads? Morons.
The guy gets on the gas when the rear end was already coming around. In the wet. With people around. FREAKING MORON!

My 11 yr. old son asked me if that was a real Ferrari 355 being wreaked in "The Rock" with Nick driving. I told him kit car. He asked what a kit car was.
