Now You See Me set for sequel magic
Illusionist heist drama Now You See Me is set for a sequel after making a magical $350 million at the international box office last year (13).
The surprise hit about a group of rival magicians who join forces to rob a bank will return with its original cast and a new director, according to insiders.
Jon M. Chu, the man behind the G.I. Joe sequel, is in talks to take
over from Louis Leterrier, according to Variety.
Dave Franco, who starred in the summer, 2013 film, recently
addressed rumors of a sequel, stating, "I've heard a pitch of the
story. It's actually going to be really exciting. I was slightly
weary, just because you never know when it comes to a sequel. But I
think the first one opened up enough avenues. There are many
directions left to explore. There are many places that it can
go."
Franco starred alongside Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla
Fisher and Mark Ruffalo in the hit film.
