Latest Updates on: The War Magician

The War Magician Updated:

Friday 5th September 2003: The War Magician Update:
Director Peter Weir is in talks to direct The War Magician, a WWII epic for
Paramount and producers Tom Cruise and Paula Wagner. The Peter
Buchman-scripted adaptation of the David Fisher book tells the story of a
patriotic British stage magician who volunteered his illusionist abilities
to help battle the Nazis. After proving his potential value to skeptical
commanders, Maskelyne and a few cohorts were sent to North Africa, where
British troops were being pounded by General Rommel. Maskelyne helped halt
Rommel's charge through a campaign of deception. He camouflaged a key
British-occupied harbour by creating a bogus one that bore the brunt of
nightly bombing raids; shielded troops in the Suez Canal through a system of
anti-aircraft searchlights and mirrors that blinded Nazi pilots; and
camouflaged British weaponry and used props to give the appearance of a
stronger fighting force. The film was originally set up as a starring
vehicle for Cruise, but he plans to limit himself to producer at this point.
