Benedict Cumberbatch Teams With Colin Trevorrow For WWII Movie 'War Magician'

Benedict Cumberbatch has lined up another movie, and this time it’s with Jurassic World 3 helmer Colin Trevorrow.

The 44-year-old actor will star in War Magician, a WWII drama based on the book by David Fisher.

The film will center on Jasper Maskelyne, a British illusionist who used magic to defeat Erwin Rommel in World War II, Deadline says.

With Colin‘s direction, the movie will take on an international “magic gang” from Africa, Europe and the Middle East who conspired with Maskelyne and a female military intelligence officer to defeat the Nazis.
