Magician Tapped to Shoot Illusionist Action/Thriller Now You See Me
5:47 pm via iTricks
We’ve talked quite a bit about a certain magic comedy filming in Las Vegas, however, all stealth-like there is another studio magic flick currently in production. And this one has some magic chops behind the camera.
Larry Fong is not only a cinematographer with visual blockbusters like 300, Super 8, Lost and Watchmen on his resume he’s also an avid magician.
He is currently shooting Now You See Me, a thriller centered around a band of stage illusionists who rob banks using magic methods and the FBI team sent to stop them. It stars Morgan Freeman, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg.
Pretty smart hire for director Louis Leterrier, he gets a A-List DP and magic consultant in one dude.

I heard D&D are there too
This movie looks so cool! I know Keith Barry and David Kwong are advising. They were doing magic for onlookers the other day. Keith was hypnotizing people!
