Summit has acquired the rights to “The Secret Life of Houdini: The Making of America’s First Superhero. The film is intended to be an action thriller featuring a character who is part Indiana Jones and part Sherlock Holmes In the controversial tome it is insinuated that:
“Harry Houdini acted as a spy for Britain and was asked to be an adviser to Czar Nicholas II’s court in prerevolutionary Russia. The book also portrayed the master escape artist and magician as a debunker of con artists who pretended to be spiritualists, leading to the controversial theory that Houdini’s death was caused by the spiritual movement as payback.
I really don’t know a thing about Houdini so I’m likely the least qualified person to report on this story. Which is why I’m gonna distract you with a picture and then quietly… leave… dum du dum…
