The Illusionist


http://www.apple.com/trailers/indepe...onist/trailer/

Great cast...all 3 of those guys are very enjoyable to watch on screen and the other is great to look at.

Edward Norton
Paul Giamatti
Jessica Biel
Rufus Sewell

I'm not surprised that we get The Prestige and now this.

Re: The Illusionist


why do studios develop similar themed movies at the same time? it is so idiotic.

it was the same way when alexander was in production and they were getting ready to make another one with dicraprio

Re: The Illusionist


it's rare to see a film for ed norton to star in. all of his films have been entertaining so far, even the one he directed.

This is the main draw for me, Norton is always reliable. The trailer for this followed The Prestige, and I'm sad to say that the Prestige blew it out of the water, and is one of the films I'm most looking forward to after The fountain.

Gaimatti's becoming one of my faves of late. It's been a few years (2002?) but his role in Big Fat Liar was freakin' hilarious. He made that film. Can't remember if he got any props for that and I know comedies often get overlooked. If you haven't seen it in awhile-give it another shot.

Re: The Illusionist


okay guys, here's the first 6 minutes + a scene w/jessica biel+ed legally:

http://movies.yahoo.com/feature/theillusionist.html

norton is back in his "soft-voice" acting =). i liked him screaming and stuff in american history x. norton's one smart cookie. have you guys ever seen him on leno? just... wow. easily dwarves any of the other celebrities, the way he eloquently speaks, you know he's an intellect through and through. i bet he's got a hard time finding material to satisfy his acting urges. i've also read he's got other things to attend to from his father's end.

meanwhile, anyone familiar with the director?

According to Yahoo he has only directed Interview With The Assassin in 2002. Also credited for the screenplay of that one and the Illusionist.

Re: The Illusionist


isn't that the one where it's a fake documentary about a guy who comes forward about killing JFK?

sounds like this guy should meet chris guy =).

meanwhile, he likes to discuss reality issues.

Sadly, Ed Norton from "The Honeymooners" is an intellectual titan compared to most celebrities.

Re: The Illusionist


i cant wait to watch more of the magic trick Eisenheim can do... i saw some of the movie clips at this website, www.theillusionist.com and im so excited to watch the full movie scene. the beautifull Princess Sophie (jessica beil) pulls of her most impressive trick yet: transforming herself into a turn-of-the-century Austrian duchess- and a serious art house actress.
