Jesse Eisenberg is showing off some new magic tricks in the trailer for “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t.”
“I’m talking about a trick that is bigger and better than anything you have ever seen. It’s now or never,” Jesse, who plays J. Daniel Atlas, tells the three new magicians in the first trailer for the highly anticipated third film of the franchise.
To mark the official trailer debut, Lionsgate said it surprised fans in Times Square by giving away $250,000 in digital payments. According to the film studio, residents and tourists in Times Square saw a billboard that flashed the words, “Now You See Me,” alongside a live countdown clock and phone number that invited locals and tourists to text or call in for a surprise.
When the countdown hit zero, the billboard flipped to reveal the words, “Now You Don’t” as fans received a text with the official trailer and a cash prize courtesy of The Horsemen, according to Lionsgate.
Series newcomers, Ariana Greenblatt, Justice Smith and Dominic Sessa were also there to help with the visual “heist.”
Ariana, Justice and Dominic are joining Jesse and his team of illusionists including, Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco, as they embark on their latest elaborate heist to steal a diamond from a worldwide criminal network.
A fourth “Now You See Me” movie is already in the works. “Now You See Me: Now You Don’t” is in theaters Nov. 14.
