The Illusionist to be magically transformed into completely different TV show
The Illusionist, the 2006 film best remembered as not being The Prestige, will get a second act on television, the small, magic box so many movies have been stuffed into lately, only to emerge completely different. Deadline reports that The CW is developing a TV adaptation of the 1889-set drama, in which Edward Norton played an Austrian magician who uses his skills to snare the love of a woman far above his standing, like a turn-of-the-century David Blaine.
