Olivia Wilde is Magic on a New Poster For The Incredible Burt Wonderstone

Following the two character posters that debuted earlier today, New Line Cinema has revealed a Olivia Wilde poster for The Incredible Burt Wonderstone. Check it out below!The March 15 release also stars Steve Carell, Steve Buscemi, Alan Arkin, James Gandolfini, Jim Carrey, Jay Mohr and Michael Bully Herbig.In the comedy, superstar magicians Burt Wonderstone (Carell) and Anton Marvelton (Buscemi) have ruled the Las Vegas strip for years, raking in millions with illusions as big as Burt’s growing ego. But lately the duo’s greatest deception is their public friendship, while secretly they’ve grown to loathe each other. Facing cutthroat competition from guerilla street magician Steve Gray (Carrey), whose cult following surges with each outrageous stunt, even their show looks stale. But there’s still a chance Burt and Anton can save the act—both onstage and off—if Burt can get back in touch with what made him love magic in the first place.
