Australian actress Isla
Fisher, who will be seen in Louis Leterrier's Now You See Me, recently revealed
her near to death experience on the sets.
Fisher is playing the role of
an escape artist in the movie and is seen doing death-defying stunts, including
her main stunt inside a water tank.
"On the third day, in one
of the last shots, there was a problem with the safety and my chain caught
around the bottom grid. I thought, this is how I'm going go? In front of all
these extras, in my swimming costume?" the actress said while recalling
the moment when she jumped in the tank.
The actress was highly praised
by the director for taking special training and doing her own stunts.
The magic consultant on the
movie, David Kwong also heaped praise on the talented actress.
"She (Isla) was a
workhorse. She learned to hold her breath for the water escape. She really does
go down in that water in those shackles. It was incredible to see her
perseverance and her work ethic," he said.
The movie is set around four
talented magicians, who mesmerize an international audience with a series of
bold and original heists, all the while pursuing a hidden agenda that has the
FBI and Interpol scrambling to anticipate their next move in.
The film, which also stars
Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine
and Morgan Freeman, is set to hit Indian theatres on 7th June, 2013. (Source)
