New Posters: Danny Boyle’s Trance, Place Beyond The Pines & Burt Wonderstone

Some great new posters have popped up online overnight, giving us fresh look at Danny Boyle’s upcoming Trance, as well as the Ryan Gosling starrer The Place Beyond The Pines and Steve Carell’s magical comedy Burt Wonderstone.

The Trance poster above is pretty cool. It’s a US promo released at the same time an April 5th American release date has been announced, although us Brits will be getting it a little earlier on March 27th. James McAvoy plays an auction house assistant who masterminds an art heist and teams up with a gang of thieves, but suffers a blow to the head and wakes up with amnesia. He is the only one who knows where the stolen painting is and after his continued failure to remember, the gang begins to suspect duplicity on his part and hire a female hypnotist (Rosario Dawson) to get into his brain.

Take a look at the Burt Wonderstone and Place Beyond The Pines posters below.

While I know Vegas magicians look a little fake and glossy, it’s a bit odd to produce a poster where you can only half recognise the main stars – Steve Carell, Jim Carrey and Steve Buscemi. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult followingsurges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.’

The Place Beyond The Pines reunites Ryan Gosling with Blue Valentine helmer Derek Cianfrance. In the film, Luke (Ryan Gosling) is a professional motorcycle rider who turns to bank robberies to support his newborn son. But when he crosses paths with a rookie police officer (Bradley Cooper), their violent confrontation spirals into a tense generational feud.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone Trailer And Posters – Steve Carell turns Vegas magician

December 21, 2012 By Tim Isaac Leave a Comment


Magicians are going to be big in 2013 – or at least Hollywood is hoping so – as we’ve got Louis Leterrier’s Now You See Me and also the more comedic The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Now the first posters and trailer for the latter movie have arrived.

The film features Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin, James Gandolfini, Jim Carrey and Jay Mohr, working from a script by John Francis Daley and Jonathan M. Goldstein. Here’s the synopsis: ‘Superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Jim Carrey), whose cult followingsurges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.’

The film is due out next spring. Take a look at the trailer above and click on the pics below to see the posters.

Olivia Wilde In Talks For Burt Wonderstone

November 1, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Until last week the cast of the magician comedy Burt Wonderstone consisted of just Steve Carell, but a few days ago Jim Carrey came onboard and since then the other roles have been filling up fast, with THR reporting that Olivia Wilde and Steve Buscemi are both in talks for the movie, while Variety adds James Gandolfini has signed up.

The film centres on Steve Carell’s title character, a popular Las Vegas magician who gets upstaged by a hip new street performer (Carrey) with a penchant for dangerous tricks. Wonderstone then goes on a journey of self-discovery to reclaim his love of magic. Wilde is in talks to play Carell’s love interest (only a 22-year age difference there, but Hollywood has never had a problem with middle-aged men and young ladies), while Buscemi is set play Carell’s longtime friend and on-stage partner who quits the act after getting injured. Gandolfini meanwhile will be the owner of the casino where Carell’s character performs.

Sarah Silverman was also in contention for the love-interest role, but it appears they’ve decided on Wilde. Don Scardino will direct, with shooting set to begin in January.

Jim Carrey In Talks For Burt Wonderstone

October 22, 2011 By Movie Muser Leave a Comment

Are you ready for Jim Carrey the magician? It could be a lot of fun (assuming he actually tries to be funny, which he seems to have forgotten how to do in his last few movies). Deadline reports that Carrey is now in discussions to star in Burt Wonderstone, alongside Steve Carell.

The film centres on Steve Carell’s title character, a popular Las Vegas magician who gets upstaged by a hip new street performer. Wonderstone then goes on a journey of self-discovery to reclaim his love of magic. It isn’t completely clear who Jim Carrey is playing, but it seems he would play the street magician.

Carrey and Carell worked well together in Bruce Almighty and they’ll soon both be voices in Horton Hears A Who, so this third tie up is fairly welcome news.

It isn’t known when production will start on Burt Wonderstone, but seeing as the script has been around since 2006, let’s hope it’s fairly soon.
