• NOW YOU SEE ME

Mark Ruffalo & Amanda Seyfried

Louis Letterier’s next film – magician heist pic Now You See Me – Which we think already sounds like a hit film, seems just to be getting better and better. With an already exceptional cast, Now You See Me looks like it will add to more stars in its ranks with Mark Ruffalo and Amanda Seyfried set to join the film.

The film already boasts Jesse Eisenberg and Melanie Laurent in the tale of a crack squad of FBI agents engaged in a cat-and-mouse game with a group of the world’s top illusionists, who pull off daring bank raids during their shows. They somehow manage to evade the law enforcers and usually shower their audiences with the ill-gotten gains.

Ruffalo, who is hard at work getting angry a lot on The Avengers, is in talks for the main FBI agent role, while Seyfried, currently filming The Big Wedding with, is set to play a genius technician who builds the devices that the magicians use in their performances.

Jake Gyllenhaal (Prince of Persia) & Philip Seymour Hoffman (Mission Impossible 3) are in talks to star in the film.
