Stanley is a talented magician who goes by the name of Wei Ling Soo professionally, and he is also a renowned cynic. One day, an associate enlists him to help him expose a self-proclaimed spirit medium named Sophie living in the South of France and he decides to travel over, convinced that he will easily debunk her. Despite everyone around her insisting that she has displayed psychic abilities beyond anyone's comprehension, Stanley is determined to force her to reveal her deceptive secrets, but on meeting her it seems that he also is captivated. Extremely beautiful, Sophie becomes something of a love interest for Stanley and, in spite of his initial doubts, he too finds himself unable to explain some of the extraordinary feats Sophie is demonstrating, and he starts to wonder if the world really is full of magic.
This light-hearted comedy romance has been directed and written by the acclaimed Oscar winning filmmaker Woody Allen ('Blue Jasmine', 'To Rome with Love', 'Midnight in Paris'). It displays the same whimsy and carefree humour like much of his work, and features Colin Firth and Emma Stone in starring roles. 'Magic In The Moonlight' is expected to be released in the UK on September 19th 2014.
