Lizzy Caplan Eyes 'Now You See Me 2'; Alexis Knapp and Bar Paly get the 'Urge'



There will always be a hole in my heart where the awesome-but-canceled Party Down used to be, but one good thing to come out of it has been more Lizzy Caplan on the big and small screen. She's great on Showtime's Masters of Sex and has a role in The Interview opposite James Franco and Seth Rogen. Now she's may be conjuring up a part in Now You See Me 2, although the deal isn't finalized just yet. Her schedule on Master of Sex will have to be worked out before she can join Woody Harrelson, Jesse Eisenberg, Isla Fisher, Dave Franco, Michael Caine, Morgan Freeman, Mark Ruffalo, and Danielle Radcliffe in the heist sequel, directed by Jon M. Chu. [TheWrap]

Pitch Perfect's leggy Alexis Knapp and Michal Bay favorite Bar Paly (Pain & Gain) will get the Urge alongside Pierce Brosnan and Ashley Greene. Aaron Kaufman is directing the thriller about a group of friends on an island vacation who take part in an experimental drug experiment that lowers their inhibitions, forcing them to give in to their wildest urges.
