Jessica Biel stars with Oscar nominated actors Edward Norton and Paul Giamatti in The Illusionist, a twisted tale of romance, magic and murder. Set in turn-of-the-century Vienna, Biel plays a duchess whose love for the master illusionist, Eisenheim (Norton), drives the evil Crown Prince Leopold (Rufus Sewell) into a jealous rage. Launching an investigation into Eisenheim’s stage show, the Crown Prince will stop at nothing to destroy Eisenheim’s reputation and rip the lovers apart.

An old fashioned entertainment set in 1900 Vienna, "The Illusionist" features a standout performance by Edward Norton as the magician Eisenheim, who may or may not have supernatural powers. Outstanding production values and mysterious subject matter give the film a surprisingly opulent feel for an independent Sundance entry, which could work to its advantage in some mainstream markets. Based on a short story by Pulitzer Prize-winning author Steven Millhauser and written and directed by Neil Burger ("Interview With the Assassin"), "The Illusionist" is like a dreamscape existing between sleep and consciousness, the old world and the new. It's no accident that the story, with an undercurrent of inexplicable psychic phenomenon, takes place in Freud's Vienna.
