Eisenberg's next trick: 'Now You See Me'
Jake Gyllenhaal also has an offer for Summit's magician-heist pic
By JEFF SNEIDER
EXCLUSIVE: After a prolonged casting search, Summit Entertainment and director Louis Leterrier ("Clash of the Titans") have finally found a leading man for their magician-heist pic "Now You See Me," as Jesse Eisenberg has agreed in principal to star and is in early negotiations to work his movie star magic.
Additionally, Summit's "Source Code" star Jake Gyllenhaal has an offer to play the other lead. Studio had previously been courting Colin Firth, Sacha Baron Cohen, Jim Carrey and Hugh Grant as potential topliners before they decided to cast the roles with younger thesps.
Thriller follows a group of the world's greatest illusionists, who pull off daring bank heists during their performances, showering the profits on their audience. Eventually, the FBI gets involved, prompting a cat-and-mouse game between adversaries.
Dealmaking with Eisenberg and Gyllenhaal is still in the very early stages, so don't be surprised if one or the other pulls a disappearing act due to scheduling, which is still being worked out.
Sources also tell Variety that "Inglourious Basterds" breakout Melanie Laurent also has an offer.
The mini-major nabbed Boaz Yakin and Edward Ricourt's hot spec script last June and tapped Leterrier to direct in February.
Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci are producing through their Paper Products shingle, while Paper Products' Bobby Cohen will exec produce with Yakin.
Eisenberg, who's coming off an Oscar nomination for playing Facebook founder Mark Zuckerberg in "The Social Network," is set to spend the summer filming Woody Allen's "Bop Decameron." Thesp next stars in Ruben Fleischer's MRC-produced comedy "30 Minutes or Less," which Columbia Pictures releases on Aug. 12.
Gyllenhaal has driven the mid-budget thriller "Source Code" to an impressive $111 million worldwide gross. Thesp is currently attached to star in David Ayer's cop drama "End of Watch."

Wow! great picture! I'm very happy about new movie. Even if it won't work, we have something to wait for and to discuss. ;D I like the idea of Jake as an illusionist. One more today's news from Access Hollywood - www.accesshollywood.com/bear-grylls-shares-survivalist-fitness-tips-reveals-man-vs-wild-adventure-with-jake-gyllenhaal_article_49051?__source=rss|latest_newsPresently, Bear is gearing up for more “Man vs. Wild” on Discovery, and he confirmed that one of the upcoming episodes would feature a fellow in-shape star – Jake Gyllenhaal.
“He trains hard as well, you know. He’s meant to be the fittest man in Hollywood so I was a little bit nervous taking him on a ‘Man vs. Wild,’ but he was incredible,” Bear said of the episode, which is currently being kept under wraps.
While the reality star wasn’t able to reveal where he went with Jake – rumors on the web suggest it was to Iceland – he did admit it was a tough adventure.
“We were both stretched to our limit, there’s no doubt,” Bear laughed. |

"Now you see me" sounds like the sort of movie I would watch, not that I would NOT want to see anything Jake does.
Nice pic - before the face pet took over (and he had hair back then).

Thanks for posting the info on what coming up for Jake. The movie sound like a good one. I think he would be a great magician BUT..he would look really good as a agent in a suit.  Can't wait to see he out in the rugged with Bear. The pic is cute. |

Thank you Sasha for that piece of interview with Jake. It calmed me down a bit. It looks like Jake manages better with paps, than I thought. I just glad that he continues to do (outdoor) what he wants to do regardless their interest. But once they succeed to have a huge influence on his private life. The thing with Taylor S. Somehow Jake had enough. Or maybe not only the paps, but all that bullshit in media from fans or so called fans. I think it was too fresh for him, he wasn't involved too deeply and it was easier to drop it than to deal with all that garbage. well about paprazzi and the Taylor Swift issue, i guess too many of Gyllenhaal fans as well walked the line, and as paparazzi are supposed to make money on private life of celebrities catching pics of the couple everywhere, it would be very very sad if Gyllenhaal quit a girl which he enjoy company just for gossip/fans/paparazzi pressure. Just my tow, and i agree with Els, totally.  |
