Magic Castle Movie Coming From Producer Ridley Scott

The Magic Castle movie has now gained a little momentum, with the help of Ridley Scott’s Scott Free Productions. Learn more about the project below.

The project was first announced in 2012. Even then, details were scarce about how producer Ted Field (Jumanji, Zathura) and his company, Radar Pictures, planned on turning this club into a feature-length movie, although, considering Field’s involvement, it’s easy to speculate the story would most likely include fantastical elements. 

The Magic Castle Inc. is hoping the film and other potential projects will assist them in expanding their brand. The current plan is to open new clubs in both the states and overseas. Discussions about bringing Magic Castle to China, the Middle East and Europe have already begun.

Here’s more information about The Magic Castle:

The Magic Castle is the private clubhouse for the Academy of Magical Arts, Inc, a very special organization devoted to the advancement of the ancient art of magic. The purpose of The Academy is to encourage and promote public interest in the art of magic with particular emphasis on preserving its history as an art form, entertainment medium, and hobby. Beginning with a charter membership of 150, the Academy has grown into a world-renowned fraternal organization with a membership of nearly 5,000.
