Due to star Steve Carell (Date Night) as a man who has his reputation as Las Vegas’ top magician threatened by a danger-loving illusionist (who’s due to be played by The Mask‘s Jim Carey), Burt Wonderstone could soon be adding two new names to its cast list; Olivia Wilde (Cowboys & Aliens), and Steve Buscemi (Boardwalk Empire).
Currently the pair are just in talks to appear, but could soon sign on to star in the Don Scardino (30 Rock) directed movie; as Wonderstone’s assistant/girlfriend, and the partner who leaves him hanging respectively; alongside the already cast James Gandolfini (The Sopranos), in the film that’s due to start shooting in January, ahead of an as yet unannounced release date.
