Dave Franco & Isla Fisher Video Interview On ‘Now You See Me,’ Magic
Dave Franco and Isla Fisher play two members of the magician troupe The Four Horsemen in the new caper film Now You See Me. The group is being hunted by the FBI after one of their shows ends with an impossible bank robbery. Being the only woman — alongside Woody Harrelson and Jesse Eisenberg — in the Horsemen didn’t faze Fisher. “I gotta tell you, I never felt like the only woman among the Horsemen,” she told Uinterview exclusively. “These guys are just so nice. I know everyone says that when they’re promoting a movie, but every single one of the guys on this were so inclusive, and it never crossed my mind.”
Both stars have Hollywood in their family. Franco, 28, who previously appeared in 21 Jump Street, is the brother of James Franco. Fisher, 37, who is married to Sacha Baron Cohen, is best known for her role in Wedding Crashers and this summer’s The Great Gatsby.
Despite their pedigrees, both actors found that playing magicians required many nights of training. “Throughout the film, I would go home most nights and be a dork and sit in front of the TV and practice my sleight-of-hand moves for hours on end,” Franco told Uinterview. “It’s pretty phenomenal to see, seriously,” Fisher said. “He’s the real deal.”
