"I'm reading this new script for Now You See Me, or Now You 3 Me as we've been calling it - I'll get in trouble for that - I'm thinking, 'Oh, wow, these actors who I'm friends with, who are all genius actors are gonna be so funny in this.'" Jesse Eisenberg / Collider. "And I could see, 'Oh, we'll probably improvise this moment because I see they set up a really great foundation.'" Jesse Eisenberg / Collider.
