I have no idea if this movie will be any good, but it’s got one hell of a cast. And they get kudos for their marketing campaign as well. Check out their motion graphic poster as well as their social media campaign below.
In honor of the elaborate, dazzling heists executed by a super-team of the world’s greatest illusionists, Summit Entertainment, a LIONSGATE® company, announces the NOW YOU SEE ME “Diamond Heist Challenge.”
