After Earth Lost To Both Fast & Furious And Now You See Me At Friday Box OfficeGiven some poor tracking, Jaden Smith’s unproven box office record and the incredible popularity of Fast & Furious 6, many experts went into this weekend willing to admit the young star’s After Earth might lose the money battle this weekend to the likeable holdover.

This Rotten Week: Predicting Now You See Me And After Earth ReviewsIf this trailer left you a little lost raise your hand. I get the basic premise: four magicians perform bank robberies during their shows and Robin Hood-style give all the money they take back to audience members. Except that the trick they’re doing with robberies isn’t really the trick at all. The trick they’re doing is something more than the really big trick and we don’t know exactly what it is, or what it’s about because the illusions they create are meant to hide the motivations......by Doug Norrie | published: 2013-05-26 06:32:48comments
Watch Mark Ruffalo And Melanie Laurent Perform Some Magic On The Set Of Now You See MeI have to imagine that one of the cooler things about being an actor is that you get the opportunity to learn all kinds of cool skills and abilities. It's hard work, but if you want to star in an action movie then you need to get it super good shape and learn acrobatics and how to fight - not to mention possibly swing a sword or drive a stunt car....by Eric Eisenberg | published: 2013-05-23 18:05:24comments

Meet Now You See Me's Four Horsemen In This Magical Opening Sequence ClipIf Gob Bluth taught us anything, aside form how to make a Segway look like a cool mode of transportation (Ok, cool when cruising next to a set of stairs, anyway), it's that magic isn't a "trick." It's an "illusion." And we saw quite a few of those in the extended clip from Now You See Me, which clocks in at nearly four minutes and comes courtesy of Fandango. Of course, it cuts out of us right as Isla Fisher is about to get devoured by piranhas. ...by Kelly West | published: 2013-05-08 10:52:22comments
Mark Ruffalo Reveals How Woody Harrelson Hypnotized Him On The Now You See Me SetWhen I met Mark Ruffalo on the set on Now You See Me last April, it was only a matter of weeks before he would blow everyone away as The Hulk and Bruce Banner in The Avengers, a movie that marked a major transition for the actor previously known for indie dramas and comedies like You Can Count On Me and The Kids Are All Right.

On The Set Of Now You See Me, Where Everyone Has A Trick Up Their SleeveThough movie productions have been faking New York City locations for decades, there are a few things you simply can't fake.

Or views of Manhattan from the top of the building where your characters will pull off their climactic stunt. Or the 7 train rumbling by in the background, loud and chaotic but all part of the charm you get when you sign up for New York City...by Katey Rich | published: 2013-04-15 11:44:05comments
