Jesse Eisenberg and the Four Horsemen are back in 'Now You See Me: Now You Don't' trailer

Lionsgate recently intrigued residents and tourists with a digital billboard in New York City, which flashed the words "NOW YOU SEE ME," and was accompanied by a live countdown clock and mysterious phone number.

When the countdown reached zero, the billboard flipped to reveal: "NOW YOU DON'T," and fans who texted the number received the new trailer and instant cash prizes, courtesy of The Horsemen. A total of $250,000 was given away. 

This was all to get everyone excited for the Now You See Me: Now You Don't official trailer. The new and returning cast includes Jesse Eisenberg, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher, Justice Smith, Dominic Sessa, Ariana Greenblatt, Rosamund Pike, and Morgan Freeman. 

Ruben Fleischer directs with Seth Grahame-Smith, Michael Lesslie, Paul Wernick, and Rhett Reese's screenplay. The story is by Eric Warren Singer with characters created by Boaz Yakin & Edward Ricourt. Producers include Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, and Bobby Cohen. 

The Four Horsemen return along with a new generation of illusionists performing mind-melding twists, turns, surprises, and magic unlike anything ever captured on film.

While this is the franchise's third installment, it's been confirmed that a fourth film is already in the works. At CinemaCon, Lionsgate Motion Picture Group chair Adam Fogelson said, "Ruben has delivered all of the twists and turns and sleight-of-hand that audiences expect from this franchise while upping the stakes and scale in every way. We can’t wait for audiences to discover what he’s done with the third film and thrilled he’ll be making even more magic with us."

While speaking with Screen Rant, Kurtzman expressed, "Now You See Me is one of those stories that kind of works all the time. In many ways, it’s also about a new generation and an old generation coming together, which is really, really exciting. Magic is really fun. I feel like what we’re so proud of about Now You See Me is magic movies tended to not work, and then suddenly they worked really well when we made those films and people loved them. You always want to tell a story because you have a story to tell, and it took us some time to figure out what that story was."


Now You See Me: Now You Don't will appear in theaters on November 14.
