First of all, I'm a sucker for magic! Magic is one of my favorite things in the world. So when I hear there is going to be state of the art live magic show inspired by the Now You See Me film franchise, of course I'm going to get excited!
Lionsgate is producing the magic show, which will be called Now You See Me Live, and it will feature its own Four Horsemen! The show is described as "a state-of-the-art magic show with cutting-edge technology, surprise twists, and never-before-seen illusions from some of the greatest magicians in the world."
I really hope that they end up pulling off some spectacular magic! It would be so cool to see the same level stuff that we actually saw in the movies. As for who the four magicians will be, here are the details:

"I want to be beside you..." Lionsgate UK has debuted the first official trailer for a romantic drama thriller titled Submergence, which also happens to be the latest feature film made by prolific German filmmaker Wim Wenders (yeah, seriously). The film stars Alicia Vikander and James McAvoy as great lovers, but with a only-in-the-movies pitch: "In a room with no windows on the eastern coast of Africa, an Englishman, James More, is held captive by jihadist fighters. Thousands of miles away in the Greenland Sea, Danielle Flinders prepares to dive in a submersible to the ocean floor. In their confines they are drawn back to the Christmas of the previous year, where a chance encounter on a beach in Normandy led to an intense and enduring romance." The cast includes Alexander Siddig, Celyn Jones, and Reda Kateb. This reminds me a bit of Zemeckis' film Allied, but with a deep sea,...

Jumping between narrative and documentary films as of late, Wim Wenders’ latest finds him on the former side. The love story Submergence follows Danielle Flinders (Alicia Vikander) as a bio-mathematician prepping for a dive into the bleakest depths of the Greenland Sea when she crosses paths with James More (James McAvoy), a spy about to be shipped off to Somalia on a reconnaissance mission. The combination of talent had us hopeful this could be a return to form for Wenders, but unfortunately, we weren’t big fans of it at Tiff.
Joseph Falcone said in his review, “More so unbearably simple than outright cliched, Erin Dignam’s script — an adaptation of J.M. Ledgard’s novel of the same name — tosses tidbits of exposition and halfhearted, intentional, yet ineffectively sullen discourse at the viewer without any real adhesive to combine the fragments. It is enough to put the story together yourself,...

I can’t really be held accountable for believing that the combined efforts of legendary German auteur Wim Wenders, Academy Award-winner Alicia Vikander, and the fervid James McAvoy would spawn a piece of cinema teeming with heartache and intrigue, can I? Well, as their supposed romantic thriller Submergence would have it, the thought should’ve been long purged from my mind using electroconvulsive therapy. Wenders’ deep sea exploration of love and separation, doesn’t generate enough of the former for the latter to ever matter. Dabbling in topical themes like climate change and terrorism, all while attempting to execute a Bond-esque, star-crossed lovers narrative. Submergence’s commentary ultimately conveys a whole lot of nothing.
Danielle Flinders (Vikander) is a bio-mathematician prepping for a dive into the bleakest depths of the Greenland Sea to gather specimens in a submersible. James More (McAvoy), a spy about to be shipped off to Somalia on a reconnaissance mission,...

Francine Lewis and Asanda Jezile have made it through to the Britain's Got Talent final.
Impressionist Lewis won the public vote in tonight's (May 31) fourth semi-final and the judges chose to send 11-year-old Jezile through to next week's show.
Lewis, Jezile and 20-year-old singer Alex Keirl were revealed as the top three acts with Lewis automatically progressing to the final after receiving the highest number of viewer votes.
When asked how she felt about the result, the impressionist - whose act involved mimicking stars such as Katie Price and Amy Childs - admitted she was "overwhelmed" by the news.
"I absolutely cannot believe it and I want to thank everyone who's picked up that phone and voted for me tonight, this amazing audience, the judges for their wonderful comments," she said.
"I'm overwhelmed and really humbled, I really am."
The judges then voted to decide which remaining act would take part in the June 8 final.
