Film 1057: Now You See Me

Trivia: The card trick in the opening sequence works in real life too, there is no editing, contrary to popular belief.

Isla Fisher got into difficulty while filming the piranha tank scene. The top of the tank remained opened so that Fisher would be able to swim to the top to get some air, and there was also an emergency lever inside the tank that, if pulled, would alert the crew that she needed help. During one take, Fisher was running out of air and tried to swim to the top, but the chains on the handcuffs she was wearing got stuck on the bottom of the tank, so she was unable to swim to the top or pull the lever. She then attempted to alert the crew by hitting the glass of the tank, but since her character is supposed to be panicked and scared in the scene, the crew thought she was acting. The stunt coordinator finally realized that something was wrong after he noticed that her handcuffs were stuck.

In the original draft of the script, there was no female in the Four Horsemen.

This is the fourth film to co-star Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine. They previously appeared together in all 3 installments of Christopher Nolan's Batman trilogy.
