Edward Nortons The Illusionist Cast Expands

Edward Norton is one of the most talented actors in Hollywood. I think Fight Club pretty much sums up his talent. Any rate Jessica Biel and Rufus Sewell have signed on for The Illusionist starring Edward Norton.

The movie is based on Steven Millhausers short story "Eisenheim the Illusionist". It is a period piece set in 1900 Vienna. A street smart magician played by Edward Norton uses his dark arts to win the heart of Princess Sophia to be played by Jessica Biel.

Jessica Biel was great in Texas Chainsaw Massacre and is no doubt on board for the eye candy factor. I was really dissapointed by her performance in Blade 3 Trinity which can be summed up in a semi nude shower scene and a blatant IPOD commercial. Lets look for better things in this movie since it has Edward Norton.
