Morgan Freeman helps Mark Ruffalo track down a team of illusionists who perform bank heists at their live shows.
by Genna Patterson
Wait until you see names on the star-studded cast of Now You See Me. Morgan Freeman, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher, Mark Ruffalo, Michael Caine, Dave Franco and Jesse Eisenberg. Not bad, eh?
The storyline sees a team of illusionists called the The Four Horsemen – Harrelson, Fisher, Eisenberg and Franco – pull off bank heists during their live performances, and then give their audiences the money. Of course, the FBI get a little concerned.
Mark Ruffalo plays the FBI agent, Dylan Hobbs, who seeks the help of Morgan Freeman, a famed magic debunker called Thaddeus Bradley. You can just hear Freeman’s smooth voice saying ‘Thaddeus’.
Ruffalo and his partner close in on the team to stop them from performing their final heist, but is it illusion, or really magic?
French director Louis Leterrier has previously worked on Transporter, Clash of the Titans and The Incredible Hulk. Co-writer Ed Soloman is behind screenplays Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure and Bogus Journey, and also Men In Black.
Now You See Me looks like it will be one of the big summer blockbusters, released on June 21.
