Ruben Fleischer To Direct Next ‘Now You See Me’ Pic For Lionsgate - Deadline

The previous films starred Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson,  Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, and Morgan Freeman, among others.

For the screenplay, the studio has also brought on board Pride and Prejudice and Zombies scribe Seth Grahame-Smith to work on a new draft of the screenplay, overseen by Fleischer.

Commenting on the announcement, Fleischer said, “There are three things in this world I absolutely love… Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson and magic.

To have the chance to work with these two talented actors, as well as rest of the incredible cast of the Now You See Me movies is a dream come true.

I am a lifelong fan of heist movies – I love getting drawn in by the twists and the mystery where nothing is what it seems.

Grahame-Smith previously wrote The Lego Batman Movie, Pride and Prejudice and Zombies and Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter, the latter two based on his novels
