MANILA, Philippines - Five new character one-sheets for New Line Cinema’s upcoming magic-themed comedy “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone†have been released. The posters individually highlight the lead castmembers Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Olivia Wilde, Alan Arkin and Jim Carrey.
In the film, superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Carell) and Anton Marvelton (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 (Carrey), whose cult following surges 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.
Opening across the Philippines on March 2013, “The Incredible Burt Wonderstone†is a New Line Cinema presentation and will be distributed by Warner Bros. Pictures, a Warner Bros. Entertainment Company.
