The plot tells the story of two of the greatest showman-magicians in history, Siegfried (Law) and Roy (Garfield). We see how the duo is tasked, along with their white tigers, with turning Sin City into a family-friendly destination. The duo pushes the concept of illusion versus reality to the extreme, personally and professionally. However, tragedy soon opens a mystery surrounding their last fateful Las Vegas show. Justin Theroux is playing Steve Wynn, the man who signed the duo to a five-year, $57.5 million deal to perform at his Mirage hotel.

4. Voyagers (TBA)
Sebastián Lelio has taken the directorial helm for ‘Voyagers,’ a forthcoming Warner Bros. film starring Garfield and Daisy Edgar-Jones. The biographical romance film, written by Zach Dean, explores the poignant romantic relationship between renowned astronomer and ‘Contact’ author Carl Sagan and accomplished documentary producer and director Ann Druyan. Set against the backdrop of NASA’s preparations for the historic 1977 launch of interstellar probes, the narrative revolves around Sagan’s mission to create the Golden Record — a compilation of music and images to potentially connect with extraterrestrial civilizations. However, what initially begins as a high-stakes race against time transforms into a heartfelt love story between Sagan and Druyan. The project is currently in pre-production, leaving fans eagerly anticipating further updates.
