You enjoyed THE PRESTIGE, right? Course you did. And THE ILLUSIONIST? No? How about THE MAGICIANS? Oh come on, it had Mitchell & Webb in it! Alright, imagine if those movies were more like OCEAN’S 11, and you have NOW YOU SEE ME. It’s a crime caper starring Jesse Eisenberg (THE SOCIAL NETWORK, ZOMBIELAND), and if the deal goes down, Amanda Seyfried (MAMA MIA, MEAN GIRLS) and Mark Ruffalo (THE KIDS ARE ALRIGHT, THE AVENGERS), all of whom are so hot right now.
According to VARIETY, Ruffalo plays an FBI agent chasing down a team of master illusionists who pull off daring bank heists during their shows, then showering the audience with the loot. Seyfried is to play the techie who comes up with their cunning spellbinding feats and the movie itself will be directed by Louis Leterrier (CLASH OF THE TITANS). Rumours of a magical cameo from Emma Watson as Hermione are, alas, fictional.
