Carrey and Carell reunite to bring the magic.
It's pretty clear that Jim Carrey and Steve Carell like working together. The pair first worked together in 2003's Bruce Almighty, then both did voice work in 2008's Horton Hears a Who. In 2011, Carrey appeared in an episode of The Office, but it was the first to lack Carell as the show's lead. Finally, the two actors are together again for the upcoming comedy Burt Wonderstone playing rival magicians.
Carell plays the title role, one half of a magic act that also includes his longtime partner Anton Marvelton (Steve Buscemi). However, a rift forms between the two as a rising street magician named Steve Gray (Carrey) threatens to end their Las Vegas careers. As seen in the first trailer, Wonderstone must try to rediscover his love of magic, and finds help from the elderly Rance Holloway (Alan Arkin, reuniting with Carell for the first time since 2008's Get Smart), who inspired Wonderstone to become a magician in the first place.

New set photos have arrived for New Line's upcoming comedy Burt Wonderstone, which stars Jim Carrey and Steve Carell as rival magicians (the pair last worked together on 2003's Bruce Almighty). Carell plays the title character, a stage magician that must regain his love of magic after losing his longtime partner Anton (Steve Buscemi). Once street magician Steve Haines (Carrey) starts gaining popularity, Wonderstone tries to convince Anton to return to the act.
The new set photos, revealed by ComingSoon, were shot at the Bally's Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas yesterday depict Carell and Buscemi in what appears to be the "Hotbox trick" that ultimately injures Buscemi, though it could also be the pair's triumphant attempt at the trick, should one exist in the movie. Olivia Wilde, who plays Wonderstone's former assistant and love interest who eventually works for Haines, also appears on set.

For cinephiles (pronounced “movie nerds”), the works of Quentin Tarantino aren’t just fun on their own terms: They’re packed with nods, winks, and say-no-mores to other movies, genre clichés, and Tarantino’s own conventions. His characters are no exception, though some of them may pop us for saying so.
When Tarantino’s Inglourious Basterds rides a pile of Nazi corpses into a theater near you, it’s a pretty safe bet that some of the writer-director’s favorite stock characters will be along for the genoride. And yes, many of them will be movie buffs. Here are the ones to watch for with your one good eye through a hail of bullets, sleet of blood, and freezing rain of gore.
