The logline continues, “The duo push the concept of illusion versus reality to the extreme, personally and professionally, until tragedy reframes and opens a mystery surrounding their last fateful Las Vegas show.”

Their famous Las Vegas show, “Siegfried & Roy at The Mirage,” lasted from 1990 to 2003.
In 2003, Horn was mauled by a 600-pound tiger named Montecore during a performance. Years later, they took their final bow together in 2009. The illusionists reunited onstage for a charity show at the Bellagio hotel-casino to benefit the Cleveland Clinic Lou Ruvo Center for Brain Health.
Horn died of COVID-19 in 2020 at 75.

There could be no Siegfried without Roy, and no Roy without Siegfried.”
Fischbacher died of pancreatic cancer in 2021 at 81.
Law recently told Collider that to prepare for the role, he was “taking German classes twice a week, and magic classes start next week.”
Garfield hasn’t spoken about the role publicly yet, but he did turn heads earlier in the week when he stepped out for a date night with his girlfriend, Monica Barbaro, 35, sporting his long blond hair beneath a hat.
“Wild Things” does not yet have an announced premiere date.
