An international room of mirrors is stretching around the world this week to promote the sequel to 2013’s Now You See Me. Lions Gate Entertainment released a volley of posters internationally featuring the cast members from the film for Now You See Me 2. Along with the returning cast of Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Jesse Eisenberg, and Dave Franco, Daniel Radcliffe, Lizzy Caplan, and Jay Chou round out the all-star cast.
Now’s a good time to catch the original. It’s a fun romp that we reviewed previously here at borg.com.
If you missed out on the trailer, check it out here.
Our annual “All the Movies You’ll Want to See…” series has been one of the most viewed of all of our entries at borg.com each year. So this year we again scoured Hollywood and its publicity machine for as many genre films coming out in 2016 as have been disclosed. Usually we select the 24 that look like the biggest hits, but we’re going all out for 2016. The result is a whopping 48 movies, many you’ll probably want to see in the theater or catch on video. We bet you’ll find a bunch below you’ve never heard of. Bookmark this now for your 2016 calendar!
Most coming out in the second half of 2016 don’t even have posters released yet, but many do. We’ve included descriptions and key cast so you can start planning accordingly.
What do we think will be the biggest hits of the year? How about Star Wars: Rogue One? Or Star Trek Beyond? You’ve heard endlessly about Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice, but 2016 will also see Doctor Strange, Captain America: Civil War, and X-Men: Apocalypse. There’s even a handful of Westerns, with The Hateful 8, Jane Got a Gun, and another remake of The Magnificent Seven heading our way.
The Hateful Eight – January 1
Tarentino’s Western! Ennio Morricone score! Kurt Russell, Samuel L. Jackson, Jennifer Jason Leigh, and Channing Tatum!
The 5th Wave – January 8
Chloe Grace Moretz and Liev Schreiber in an alien invasion.
400 Days – January 12
The CW’s Brandon Routh, Caity Lotz, and Tom Cavanaugh in a movie about astronauts that seems to be a play on Ender’s Game.
You never know which movies will flop or not and which make enough money to merit a sequel. We previously reviewed Now You See Me here at borg.com and although the ending didn’t quite deliver it was still a fun enough flick. The draw is most likely the diverse cast, and that’s no different for its coming sequel.
Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Dave Franco, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman are back with newcomers Lizzy Caplan and Daniel Radcliffe. Notably not on the cast list is the original film’s co-lead Isla Fisher.
Here’s the first teaser trailer for Now You See Me 2:
Now You See Me 2 is scheduled for release June 10, 2016.
