Most anticipated film this year: Now You See Me

This was going to be The World’s End (because who doesn’t like Edgar Wright), but this has a few things redeeming it:

  • Jesse Eisenberg in a role where he’s in charge. That’s new.
  • The director’s Louis Leterrier, who’s done some truly bad films (Clash of the Titans), but also the odd good one (the 2008 Hulk movie, which at least I liked). So it could be great or terrible.
  • The cast. By which I mean Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Mélanie Laurent, and Mark Ruffalo. A great cast doesn’t guarantee a great movie, but it can certainly help.
  • (and I cannot stress this one enough) It’s about magic.
