Vegas Magic Unleashed
Jude Law and Andrew Garfield are stepping into the sparkly shoes of legendary magicians Siegfried Fischbacher and Roy Horn.
The duo will headline Apple TV+’s upcoming limited series “Wild Things,” bringing to life the extraordinary tale of two showmen who transformed Las Vegas entertainment forever.
Based on Apple’s 2022 podcast, this eight-episode drama promises to reveal the fascinating reality behind the illusion.
From Dreams to Tigers
The series explores how these ambitious performers turned Sin City into a family-friendly destination through spectacular illusions featuring majestic white tigers.
Their partnership revolutionized Vegas entertainment, blurring the lines between fantasy and reality in ways that captivated audiences worldwide.
Their journey from obscurity to stardom represents one of entertainment’s most fascinating transformations.
Tragedy in the Spotlight
The show won’t shy away from the devastating 2003 incident when Horn was attacked by a 400-pound white tiger during a performance.
This near-fatal moment forever changed their act and lives.
Roy struggled with health complications afterward until his death from COVID-19 in 2020 at age 75, while Siegfried passed from pancreatic cancer in January 2021 at 81.
Star-Studded Production
Beyond starring as the famed illusionists, Law and Garfield will executive produce alongside an impressive creative team.
John Hoffman of “Only Murders in the Building” fame serves as showrunner and writer, with Matt Shakman (“WandaVision”) and Brian Grazer (“A Beautiful Mind”) also executive producing.
The series promises to deliver both spectacle and substance.
Beyond the Glitter
Both actors bring impressive credentials to the project.
Law is simultaneously preparing to portray Vladimir Putin in “The Wizards of the Kremlin,” while Garfield will appear alongside Julia Roberts in the crime drama “After the Hunt.”
Their commitment to this project signals the compelling nature of Siegfried and Roy’s story—a tale of ambition, partnership, tragedy, and magic.
