And so I guess to a degree, although I claim I don’t do magic tricks, that was certainly one that I was really proud of and happy to participate in.”<\/p>\n Fleischer directed the third installment in the magician-heist franchise from a screenplay by Michael Lesslie, the writing duo of Paul Wernick and Rhett Reese, and Seth Grahame-Smith. After a 10-year hiatus, the Four Horsemen, played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, and Isla Fisher, are forced to reunite after receiving a series of mysterious tarot cards. Their new mission leads to a team-up with three young con-artists\/magicians (played by Dominic Sessa, Justice Smith, and Ariana Greenblatt), and together they must travel the world in order to retrieve a priceless diamond from an evil billionaire (played by none other than Rosamund Pike).<\/p>\n We won’t spoil it for you, but the ending is one you definitely won’t see coming. In fact, the series of clues that are left for the audience throughout the film doesn’t even register until a clever montage shows us that the big reveal was right under our noses the entire time. If you think you’ve got it figured out…you don’t. Trust me.<\/p>\n Continues Fleischer: “And maybe it gives me a little insight into what the experience of a magician has. Whenever they perform a trick and get to see that astonishment on the face of the audience they’re performing to, to a lesser degree, we got to have a taste of that here.”<\/p>\n Now You See Me: Now You Don’t will levitate into theaters on November 14, 2025.
