Lionsgate Films has sent us a brand new trailer for Houdini, the scripted four-hour event which chronicles Houdini's extraordinary life as he finds fame while defying death with his incredible stunts and illusions. The release will be available for purchase on October 7th.
Synopsis: His ability to escape from handcuffs, strait-jackets and water tanks is legendary - breaking the shackles of his past proved more challenging. HISTORY's Houdini follows the world-renowned master of escape's transformation from immigrant into the world's first superstar. Driven, disciplined and actively chasing the American Dream, Houdini constantly pushed his physical limits to accomplish feats of strength that amazed audiences in an age of spectacle. And though they saw what he wanted them to see, his reality was more elusive than his escapes. Houdini boasts an all-star cast, including Academy Award winner Adrien Brody (Best Actor in a Leading Role, The Pianist, 2002) as The Great Harry Houdini, Kristen Connolly (House of Cards) and Evan Jones (Gangster Squad).
The Houdini two-disc Blu-ray features both the original HISTORY televised version as well as a brand-new extended edition with over 20 minutes of additional film footage of the captivating series.
