Magical Heist for Eisenberg and Gyllenhaal

Jesse Eisenberg has been cast in Now You See Me. The film centres on a group of world-famous illusionists who use their skills to both entertain audiences and mystify cops by carrying out bank heists.

Directed by Louis Leterrier (Clash of the Titans), the film could also star Jake Gyllenhaal, who has been made and offer according to Variety.

The film originally had a much older cast in their sights, with Colin Firth and Hugh Grant as potential leads, but with Eisenberg on board, it seems they're going with a younger team.

Sources also suggest that Philip Seymour Hoffman, Olivia Wilde and Melanie Laurent have also been approached with offers.

Sounds like a cool and interesting plot so I'll be keeping my eye on production. Cast sound good so far to.
