Lionsgate has announced that it is adapting its hit magical film series "Now You See Me" into a global live show, featuring some of the greatest magicians in the world.
The audiences will get a chance to witness the state-of-the-art magic shows with cutting-edge technology, surprise twists, and never-before-seen illusions, Lionsgate said in a statement.
The worldwide tour will commence in China this November. It will be produced by Works Entertainment, the makers behind the show "The Illusionists".
The show will feature The Four Horsemen, the group of magicians who were played by Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Isla Fisher and Dave Franco in the film.
In the show, the horsemen will be -- "The Showman" James More from Britain's Got Talent; "The Manipulator" Florian Sainvet, the finalist of France's Got Talent; "The Escape Artist" Sabine van Diemen from Holland's Got Talent; and "The Mentalist" Enzo Weyne, from France's Got Talent.
A fifth member of the cast will be the show's host who will come from the country where it will be held.
"We are thrilled to partner with The Works Entertainment for this live, interactive magic spectacular, especially given their strong pedigree and their understanding and appreciation of the 'Now You See Me' brand," Lionsgate Senior Vice President of Global Live and Location Based Entertainment Jenefer Brown said in the statement.
"We know 'Now You See Me Live' will give fans worldwide a new way to engage with a franchise they know and love, and we look forward to launching it in China, a region that has been overwhelmingly supportive of the films," she added.
