Ryan McNeilHow the heck did I go five-plus years and never reference that album title?
It feels like 2013 will be the year of movies about magicians. I have no idea why all of Hollywood is suddenly fascinated with magicians, but then again, I had no idea why all of Hollywood was suddenly so fascinated with Snow White last year.
What’s next – tales of asteroids on a collision course with earth?
So it might be that I’ve lowered the bar now that we’re in the early part of the year, but I actually think this looks like something I might take a gamble on. Heck, it’s opening SXSW in a few months, so that should be a bit of a good sign, shouldn’t it?
This is shaping up to be 2006 (The Prestige, The Illusionist) all over again.
Cripes, how in the heck did I forget about that in my metaphor?
