Isla Fisher had near to death experience on sets of 'Now You See Me'

Australian actress Isla Fisher, who will be seen in Louis Leterrier's Now You See Me, recently revealed her near to death experience on the sets.

Fisher is playing the role of an escape artist in the movie and is seen doing death-defying stunts, including her main stunt inside a water tank.

"On the third day, in one of the last shots, there was a problem with the safety and my chain caught around the bottom grid. I thought, this is how I'm going go? In front of all these extras, in my swimming costume?" the actress said while recalling the moment when she jumped in the tank.

The actress was highly praised by the director for taking special training and doing her own stunts.

The magic consultant on the movie, David Kwong also heaped praise on the talented actress.

"She (Isla) was a workhorse. She learned to hold her breath for the water escape. She really does go down in that water in those shackles. It was incredible to see her perseverance and her work ethic," he said.

The movie is set around four talented magicians, who mesmerize an international audience with a series of bold and original heists, all the while pursuing a hidden agenda that has the FBI and Interpol scrambling to anticipate their next move in.

The film, which also stars Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Melanie Laurent, Woody Harrelson, Michael Caine and Morgan Freeman, is set to hit Indian theatres on 7th June, 2013.
