Jacobs Woes Burt Wonderstone

Community cutie Gillian Jacobs has joined the all-star cast of the magician comedy The Incredible Burt Wonderstone says The Hollywood Reporter


Set in the world of rival Las Vegas magicians, Steve Carell stars as a more traditional magic man who is dethroned by a hip younger illusionist (Jim Carrey) and must then find a way to rediscover his love for magic.

Jacobs will play a woman who meets Carell at one of his shows and hooks up with him.

Olivia Wilde, Steve Buscemi, James Gandolfini, Alan Arkin and Brad Garrett co star

Don Scardino directs from a script that has seen its share of writers taking a crack at it including Jason Reitman, Chad Kultgen, John Francis Daley and Jonathan Goldstein.

Carell, Chris Bender, J.C. Spink and Tyler Mitchell are producing the pic.

Shooting is underway.
