Isla Fisher is in talks to star in new magician heist thriller Now You See Me. The Wedding Crashers star will join Jesse Eisenberg, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo and Melanie Laurent in the film about The Four Horsemen, a team of the world’s greatest illusionists who pull off daring bank heists during their performances and shower their audience with the profits. Isla is in negotiations to play Henley, a master technician who builds the contraptions needed to create the illusions, Variety reports. Amanda Seyfried had previously been linked to the role. Jesse will play the arrogant but genius leader of the Four Horsemen, Mark will play the head of the FBI team investigating the heists, Morgan will play a former magician and Melanie one of the federal agents. Louis Leterrier is directing from a script by Edward Ricourt and Boaz Yakin. Isla is currently in Australia filming Baz Luhrmann’s The Great Gatsby, in which she plays Myrtle Wilson, a married woman who has an affair with Tom Buchanan (Joel Edgerton).

Ben Affleck may have found both his love interests for “The Great Gatsby.” With Carey Mulligan set to play Tom Buchanan’s wife (and the story’s leading lady) Daisy, it seems that Isla Fisher may play his mistress, Myrtle.

The Hollywood Reporter has the news, and while neither Affleck nor Fisher has confirmed their parts in Baz Luhrmann’s 3-D adaptation of F. Scott Fitzgerald’s classic tale, they would join an A-list cast of already confirmed actors including Leonardo DiCaprio as the Great (Jay) Gatsby, the aforementioned Mulligan (who is Gatsby’s one true love) and Tobey Maguire as the story’s narrator, Nick Carraway, a man that finds himself perplexed by his pal’s somewhat questionable actions.

The part of Myrtle is small but pivotal. Not to spoil it for the seven of you who probably aren’t familiar with the story, but it’s her fateful death that leads to the novel’s tragic ending. Read more… »
