Rufus Sewell, Edward Norton - "The Illusionist" clip

[007RNS]

Philosophy+ history + legend+ mystery + the impossibly sexy Edward Norton.... Damn....

[anticliche321]

gahhhhh Edward Norton's voice is like sex on velvet!!!!!!!

[cyndiboom]

edward the best

[jimbojamesIV]

Magnets or electro magnets?

[tonyomagic]

@jimbojamesIV ...its a film dude

[rentheadangelcollins]

@jimbojamesIV One would think so, but electro-magnets didn't exist back then, and magnets were CERTAINLY not powerful enough to hold the tip of a sword down like that.

[hamzamans]

i like Rufus Sewell impresions especially when he was like ""let me get my sword & don't embaress me in front of my people"""

Edward Norton : just that?? Rufus Sewell : pleaseee

Edward Norton : ok

looooooooool

[EdNortonisMineLol]

Ah, Edward Norton and Rufus Sewell... I'd love to see both their swords ;)

[mimsy97]

dear lord please let me have it for a while????hahaha

[bl1ng3rz]

edward norton's sword would prob be much more beautiful :P

[therockdiiva]

[squeekytoy123]

[CHAMPIONES09]

norton is god

[puertorico199112]

and also dressed like anastasia 's father

[puertorico199112]

Rufus looks like the father of Anastasia!!

[eyradesforets]

GOD I just LOVE Eisenheim's intense but calm persona on stage :D

Happy Birthday by the way, Mr Norton :)

[AnoymonousOvation]

when i saw this film, edward norton's voice strayed so far from his normal voice. he also had an incredible calm demenor i'd expect eisenheim to have, and this movie made my assumption of edward norton being one of the greatest actors of my time even stronger.

[oywidapoodles]

"Your sword is very beautiful. Might see it?" *gigglesnort*

Sorry! XD

[xseli]

0:35 and 0:42... pay attention to those moments

and the cloth in his hand :)

[ModestMagician]

that is an example of a steal and ditch

[level67man]

As a 'Queen' fan I'm well aware that Freddie Mercury was indian by heritage and Rufus Sewell is not but this does not matter in the slightest. Freddie Mercury spoke with an English accent all his life and his whole manner was very English.

Rufus Sewell is a good actor and the main concern of the producers of any biopic is finding someone who can play the part well. Hollywood make up artists are the best in the world so they could easily enhance his resemblance and make him look asian.

[RockUrSocksOff100]

I though freddy mercury was from Zanzibar? which isn't india, it's the east african republic of tanzania...

[viviannevivianne]

oh yea btw i reakon he looks like the tsar Nicholas II maybe its the facial hair for all those who do modern history knows what im on about

[viviannevivianne]

rufus is so good playing the "bad" guy esp helan of troy and that small part in the holiday where he plays a jerk :)

[leenyburghers]

Jessie Beil is always stunning and amazing ! If I was gay I'd do her !!!!!!!!!!

[dancingINnavarre]

Sewell has the most amazing facial expressions. Even the slightest twitch of shift of his eyes are just enough for me to squeel. (Yeah, I squeel, but then again what teenaged girl doesnt xD)

This move is so amazing and Edward Nortan is equally an amazing actor, what with his eyebrow raises and what not. :)

[lovenorton]

Man I love the intensity of this scene! lol way to put him in his place.

[zouless]

jessica biel looks amazing in this movie

[charlotterochester]

dont you just love that subtle eyebrow raise at 2:22?? go edward norton!

[level67man]

Rufus Sewell looks so EERILY like the late,great Freddie Mercury in this clip.

Since there are already plans for a hollywood film based on his life then surely Rufus Sewell would be a prime for the lead role?

Not only is he a very good actor but also his physical resemblance to Mercury is extraordinary.

What do other viewers think?

[thruaGlassOnion]

Wow! You're right, he looks amazingly like Freddie! His eyes have that same intensity. I knew there was something about him...

[saintkaya]

I was just thinking that myself. I was just watching an interview of him on Craig Ferguson in October 2008. I was always hoping Andy Sandberg would do a digital short where he played Freddie Mercury but Rufus Sewell would be perfect for a bio pic. Also I believe that Russell Crowe should play Stevie Ray Vaughn in a biopic

[finaleofseem]

Freddie Mercury has too much of a markedly Indian look too him for Sewell to be able to play him. Whoever plays Mercury would need to justice to his ethnicity (Indian). Although I agree about some resemblance, Rufus Sewell just doesn't look Asian at all. F.Mercury was 100% Indian by blood, and even before I knew this was so I have always thought he looked very Asian. I think it would be great if Mercury was played by an actual Indian.

[SirJackRyan]

[Yark02]

coool!

I wanna see the movieee!

[everybodyhasone]
