Morgan Freeman knows the meaning of a power nap -- Video

4 hours ago | EW.com - PopWatch | See recent EW.com - PopWatch news »

Is cinema legend Morgan Freeman falling asleep during this on-air interview while his Now You See Me costar Michael Caine answers a question? We know Morgan Freeman is very intelligent and contemplative, so he could just be closing his eyes to think. Except he kind of does that thing where you catch yourself after nodding off.

Watch the clip below and decide if he’s a power nap master or just a really serious thinker:

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During On-Air Interview

5 hours ago | PEOPLE.com | See recent PEOPLE.com news »

Being God is exhausting! During an interview with Fox affiliate Q13 in Seattle, to promote his new movie Now You See Me, Morgan Freeman appeared to be napping on-camera. This left costar Michael Caine to field the questions from anchors Kaci Aitchison and Bill Wixey about the crime thriller, which concerns a group of magicians who use their skills to rob banks. About halfway through the interview, Freeman shuts his eyes before clips from the movie are shown. When the camera returns to Freeman, his head is down and his eyes are shut, prompting the station to later note on its website, »

Morgan Freeman Falls Asleep During Interview for New Movie

8 hours ago | Moviefone | See recent Moviefone news »

The publicity circuit for a new movie can be exhausting -- as an actor you've got to do countless interviews and promotional spots, trumpeting a film that you might not even like that much. But very few times has this level of exhaustion been captured on tape... until now. While Morgan Freeman was doing local TV interviews with Michael Caine for their new magician thriller "Now You See Me," he nodded off several times (more like "Now You Zzzz Me," right?). While Caine was being enthusiastic about the movie, discussing the scale of the tricks, Freeman begins to close his eyes. Then his head droops and you realize, he's taking a little nap. The interviewer (from a Fox affiliate in Seattle) either doesn't realize that he's temporarily lost the "Shawshank Redemption" star or doesn't want to bring it to anyone's attention, so he lobs a softball question about what it takes to be a narrator, »

With New Orleans as the ideal backdrop for a movie that traffics in the world of magic and illusion, Now You See Me assembles an all-star cast to create a heist flick with a twist and we were on the set last year to chat with the A-listers about the production.

Starring an against-type Jesse Eisenberg as the ringleader of the Four Horsemen, the quartet of illusionists who rob from the rich and give to the poor, he's joined by Isla Fisher, Dave Franco and Woody Harrelson as the tricksters who soon get the attention of FBI and Interpol agents (played by Mark Ruffalo and Melanie Laurent) when their magical thefts cross borders.

New TV Spot for Now You See Me with Jesse Eisenberg & Mark Ruffalo – ‘The Debunker’

21 May 2013 7:00 AM, PDT | HeyUGuys.co.uk | See recent HeyUGuys news »

Louis Leterrier’s magician-based blockbuster thriller Now You See Me will be hitting theatres in the Us next Friday, and I’m incredibly excited about its arrival.

The film boasts one of the year’s best casts, and all that we’ve seen so far suggests that it’s going to be of the year’s best movies as well.

Summit recently released the opening four minutes, which should serve as more than enough to whet your appetites for more. And following on nicely from that comes a great new TV spot, not only giving us a look at Morgan Freeman’s character, the so-called Debunker, but also the explosive action and magic sequences we can look forward to seeing soon.

Now You See Me pits an elite FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against “The Four Horsemen”, a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists.

The Four Horsemen, a magic super‐group led by the charismatic J.Daniel Atlas (Jesse Eisenberg), perform a pair of hightech, high‐profile magic shows, first amazing audiences by remotely robbing a Paris bank while in Las Vegas, and then exposing a white‐collar criminal and funneling his millions into the audience members’ bank accounts, baffling the authorities with their intricately planned capers.

FBI Special Agent Dylan Rhodes (Mark Ruffalo) is determined to make the magicians pay for their crimes—and to stop them before they pull off what promises to be an even more audacious heist. »
