Studios hired "The Lego Batman Movie" "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" screenwriter Seth Grahame-Smith (Seth Grahame-Smith) is responsible for the new version of the script, the first draft was Oscar-nominated screenwriter Eli Kerr Singer ("American Hustle", "Go On").
It is worth mentioning that the news of the third film of "Now You See Me" was first reported in 2016... At that time, it was determined that the director of the second film, , Zhu Haowei, would direct, and most of the actors would return. More importantly, the media also said that a Chinese version of the spin-off movie will be launched, which will be shot in China, and the starring is mostly Chinese. How unreliable these news seem now!
In 2020, Lionsgate officially announced the " Now You See Me 3" project, hoping to gather all the previous starring Jesse Eisenberg, , Woody, Harrisonz Dave Franco , Morgan Freeman et al. At the same time, Lionsgate also said that "Now You See Me 3" will continue the style of the first film, with both new and old characters.
Today, the director Ruben Fleischer has finally been decided, and he is also an old acquaintance with the film stars Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson.
The first two films of the "Now You See Me" series were released in 2013 and 2016, respectively, telling the story of the "Four Horsemen" composed of four magicians who steal through high-tech gorgeous magic shows. The first two Now You See Me movies have grossed $686 million at the global box office. Among them, "Now You See Me" has a global box office of 351 million US dollars and was released in mainland China in October 2013. " Now You See Me 2" grossed $335 million worldwide and was released in mainland China in June 2016. "Now You See Me 2" has an average North American box office performance, but it has won 630 million yuan in the Mainland, which may have something to do with " Jay Chou " Jay Chou starring in the film!
Finally, I also hope that "Now You See Me 3" can be filmed quickly, many fans are waiting!
