Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley Interview, The Incredible Burt Wonderstone - The Incredible Burt Wonderstone is a new comedy written by Horrible Bosses screenwriters, Jonathan Goldstein and John Francis Daley. The film, set in the world of professional magic, is the story of two magicians (Steve Carell and Steve Buscemi) who've split up after years of working together. They're forced back together when another magician (played by Jim Carrey) begins to steal their spotlight and relevance.

Tribute.ca spoke with Jonathan and John about their inspiration to write this script, having the legendary David Copperfield on board as a technical consultant, working with comedic geniuses Steve Carell and Jim Carrey, and what they have in store for us next.

The Incredible Burt Wonderstone movie synopsis:

Popular magicians Burt Wonderstone (Steve Carell) and Anton Lovecraft (Steve Buscemi) are longtime Las Vegas favorites, but their show has become stale. Meanwhile, an up-and-coming street magician (Jim Carrey) begins to steal their audience.

Burt becomes cynical and jaded, but when he bumps into his original mentor, Rance Hanson (Alan Arkin), he remembers why he wanted to become a magician in the first place. With help from magic assistant Jane (Olivia Wilde), Rance inspires Burt to renew his passion for illusion and win his fans back.
