We’ve seen heist movies before (THE OCEAN’S TRILOGY, THE THOMAS CROWN AFFAIR, etc.) and we’ve seen magician movies before (THE PRESTIGE, THE ILLUSIONIST, etc.) but NOW YOU SEE ME aims to bring those movies together for a genre-smashing good time.
The film, which is set to hit theaters at the end of the month, pits the FBI on a man-hunt for a criminal group known as the Four Horsemen who use their stage shows as a way to rob wealthy business individuals they deem corrupt and dump the stolen wealth onto the unsuspecting crowd. It’s kind of like Houdini meets Robin Hood.
Today we have the first four minutes of the film as well as a clip and 8 motion posters for you to check out. So get to checking them out already. Oh, and let us know what you think below.
