‘Now You See Me 3’: New Sequel Adds Ruben Fleischer as Director

Whatever the storyline will be, Now you see me 3 will be full of lots of trickery, magic, heights, and more.

Lionsgate has found the director for the third Now You See Me. Ruben Fleischer has been tapped to direct the feature. He also will supervise the latest screenplay draft that will be written by Seth Grahame-Smith.

Fleischer commented to Deadline about the upcoming movie:

“There are three things in this world I absolutely love… Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, and magic. To have the chance to work with these two talented actors, as well as rest of the incredible cast of the ‘Now You See Me’ movies is a dream come true. I am a lifelong fan of heist movies – I love getting drawn in by the twists and the mystery where nothing is what it seems.

And that’s even more true when the thieves are magicians – the opportunities are endless. Eric was able to unlock a fresh and exciting way into a new movie and fun new characters, so I’m excited to dig in even further.”

His career has run the gamut of genres. He is largely involved in film, whether in a directorial or producer capacity. Including 2009’s Zombieland and its sequel Zombieland: Double Tap; recently he directed the Uncharted; he directed Venom and was involved in Venom: Let There Be Carnage as an executive producer.
