Carter Beats The Devil On Fast Track, Studio Attempting To Lure Johnny Depp For lead

An adaptation for Glen David Gold’s 2002 novel Carter Beats The Devil is something that has percolated in development hell for as long as we’ve run iTricks. However, it looks like it has finally moved to the next step as a script has been completed and Warner Brothers is keen on tabbing an A-List actor and director for the project.

Their first choice to play the titular magician who finds himself amidst a conspiracy after the president dies? Johnny Depp.

This could be one of many, many false starts for the project. It was initially optioned by Tom Cruise as a starring vehicle for himself. Then AMC, fresh off the success of Mad Men, began development as a series.

Who would you like to see play Charles Carter?

Next Up For Criss Angel: Touring Show?

Posted by Editor on June 29th, 2011

Criss Angel talks of new partnership with Cirque, says ex-relationship with Holly Madison is _such old news_ - The Kats Report - Las Vegas Sun.jpg

Despite commitments to his Luxor show Believe, it looks like Criss Angel might be angling to put a show on the road with Cirque du Soleil. But will he be the star of it? Here is what he told John Katsilometes of the Las Vegas Sun:

“I have another show, a touring show, that they are very, very interested in me writing and directing and putting out,” Angel said. “We haven’t signed any deals yet for it … but it’s a multiple amount of magicians and different specialty things.”

Does “multiple amount of magicians” mean that he won’t be on stage? Or that he will have some help?

Criss also teases a big forthcoming television announcement in the interview. Stay tuned.
