Harry Houdini Movie In Development At Paramount
A film about the legendary escape artist and illusionist Harry Houdini is in development at Paramount, courtesy of Transformers producers Lorenzo di Bonaventura and Mark Vahradian. Houdini is one of the world's most famous magicians, notable for his death-defying escape acts, having escaped from being buried alive, and from a locked water tank while chained and straightjacketed, just to name a few. While Houdini has appeared as a character in films before, most recently played by Guy Pearce in the romantic melodrama Death Defying Acts, a big-screen biopic has yet to be made about his life.
