Now You See Me: Now You Don't director Ruben Fleischer says signing on to direct the third installment in the magician-heist franchise was an opportunity to make fun movies that people love, and to reunite once again with Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson.
"I love the first two Now You See Me movies. And that was in part because they star my pals Jesse Eisenberg and Woody Harrelson – we worked together on Zombieland 1 and 2," Fleischer tells GamesRadar+. "And it was after Zombieland 2, I thought to myself, if I can just keep working with people I love and making movies that are just really fun for the rest of my career, I'll be very happy. And so when this came about, it was not only an opportunity to work with those two, but also the rest of the cast, who I've always admired from a distance, Isla, Dave – Morgan Freeman obviously is a legend. And I just was really excited to join that family as well and to continue to have fun making movies for audiences to love all throughout the world."
