Isla Fisher Sticks to NYC For the Premiere of Now You See Me

After an exciting few days in France for the Cannes Film Festival, Isla Fisher was back in NYC today for the premiere of her new movie Now You See Me (out Aug. 29). She was joined by some of the esteemed actors in the mostly-male cast, including Morgan Freeman, Michael Caine, Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg and Mark Ruffalo, who brought along his wife, Sunrise Coigney, and their three young children. In the film, Isla, Jesse, Woody and Dave Franco are a magic group act who steal money from corrupt business leaders and return it to their audiences during their acts. Meanwhile the FBI is trying to catch them and work out how they’ve been pulling off their daring heists.

Isla’s appearance in NYC today means she’ll be absent from tonight’s Sydney premiere of The Great Gatsby, which will still have a huge star presence thanks to Tobey Maguire, Carey Mulligan, Joel Edgerton, Elizabeth Debicki, and filmmakers Baz Luhrmann and Catherine Martin, along with a host of local talent.

Now You See Me Trailer: Jesse Eisenberg's Got the Magic Touch

Hollywood has seen its share of movies about magicians, but a movie about magicians who are also bank robbers?

Hollywood has seen its share of movies about magicians, but a movie about magicians who are also bank robbers? Now that's something new. In the trailer for Now You See Me, Jesse Eisenberg's character leads a group of illusionists (including Isla Fisher, Woody Harrelson and Dave Franco) in a grand showcase of their talents — and let's just they've got a lot more than card tricks in their bag. In a Robin Hood-esque turn, the team successfully manages to rob a bank during the show and showers the audience in money. Not everyone is impressed, though, and a couple of FBI agents (Mark Ruffalo and Mélanie Laurent) are determined to take them down.

The trailer is fresh and different enough to get me excited about this movie, especially since it features some of my favourite underrated actors (along with ones we all know and love). I'm also glad to see Eisenberg playing something other than the twitchy geek we've seen him play so many times before, and he actually appears to be pulling off cockiness here. Check out the trailer when you read more.

She's Still Got It: Penelope Cruz Smolders At The Italian Premiere Of To Rome With Love

Penelope Cruz continued a busy day of press for To Rome With Love at the movie's Italian premiere last night.

Penelope Cruz continued a busy day of press for To Rome With Love at the movie's Italian premiere last night. She began the morning at a photo call for the Woody Allen picture along with her co-stars Jesse Eisenberg, Alec Baldwin, and Roberto Benigni. For the morning event, Penelope donned a black Dolce & Gabanna dress. She showed some brand loyalty by attending the screening in a gold gown from the Italian design duo. Her hair, set in a braided bun, set off her glowing complexion, smokey eye makeup and nude lip. Woody's latest project is another star-studded European affair — check out the To Rome With Love trailer! In addition to Penelope, Alec, Roberto, and Jesse, the film also features Ellen Page, Greta Gerwig, and Judy Davis. It's out in Italy next week, but doesn't hit theaters in the US until June after a debut at the Los Angeles Film Festival. Its Australian release has not yet been announced.

To Rome With Love Trailer: Woody Allen Takes Another All-Star Cast to a Romantic City

Woody Allen has hit home runs with European-set films Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Match Point and Midnight in Paris, but can he do it again in Italy?

Woody Allen has hit home runs with European-set films Vicky Cristina Barcelona, Match Point and Midnight in Paris, but can he do it again in Italy? We'll have our answer with To Rome With Love, which follows another star-studded cast as their love lives get a little more complicated in — you guessed it — Rome. This time, the line-up includes Jesse Eisenberg as a guy who's seduced by his girlfriend's friend (Ellen Page), Penélope Cruz as an Italian prostitute, and Allen himself wearing some pants that are pulled up very high.

As with Midnight in Paris, it's obvious that the setting is going to be a major character here, which is enough of a reason for me to be enticed by the film. My only gripe is that Page seems a bit miscast as the boyfriend-stealing sexpot, but I can definitely see her and Eisenberg as a match. Watch the trailer when you read more.

Armie posed with his wife Elizabeth Chambers while his castmates went solo. Jesse is nominated for a leading actor Oscar but faces tough competition from The King’s Speech’s Colin Firth.
