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.
