MUMBAI: The casting process for Summit‘s magic heist film Now You See Me has gained steam with Jesse Eisenberg of Social Network fame in initial talks to star in the film being produced by Alex Kurtzman and Roberto Orci.

The film to be directed by Louis Leterrier will also have Jake Gyllenhaal who recently starred in The Source Code.

Now You See Me is the story of a crack FBI squad in a game of cat and mouse against a super-team of the world‘s greatest illusionists, who pull off a series of bank heists during their performances, showering the profits on their audiences while staying one step ahead of the law.
