“Now You See Me” promises to be a heist movie like no other before or, at the very least, on a bigger scale than any other of its predecessors. Above is the first official trailer – check it out in full.

Starring a bevy of stars, the Louis Leterrier thriller pits the world’s biggest illusionists against the FBI elite after a series of huge bank robberies.

Jesse Eisenberg, Dave Franco, Isla Fisher and Woody Harrelson are the Four Horsemen, magicians so skilled they can practically do anything they set their mind to, even if that means transforming themselves into a sort of modern Robin Hoods.

Melanie Laurent and Mark Ruffalo are the FBI agents who must catch them in the act, and expose them as frauds to the world. Also starring are Morgan Freeman and Michael Caine.

“Now You See Me” will be out in theaters this June and, if you ask me, it should look pretty impressive. Let’s just hope it won’t collapse under its own weight.
