Summer 2016 has got off to an exciting start in Macao, as it hit the big screen this month in 'Now You See Me 2', and opened a new waterfront entertainment hub for visitors. It doesn't stop there though, with a number of new luxury hotel openings and a variety of events also scheduled for this summer, including the 'Wushu Masters Challenge' and 28th Macao International Fireworks Display Contest, which will see UK team 'Pyro 2000' compete in one of the world's largest and best shows of its kind.
Cinemagoers can experience the wonders of Macao on the big screen with the highly anticipated film 'Now You See Me 2', currently in cinemas. The star studded cast, including Jesse Eisenberg, Mark Ruffalo, Woody Harrelson, Dave Franco, Daniel Radcliffe and Lizzy Caplan, are taking their magic to new heights in Macao as the master magicians known as 'The Four Horsemen' return for their most daring and astounding heist ever. The new film, a follow up to the 2013 box office hit, also sees the film's stars visiting a variety of Macao's attractions, from its vibrant nightlife spots to its old streets and traditional shops.
Macao's fascinating mix of Portuguese and Chinese cultures was one of the main reasons the crew decided to shoot in Macao. “From the very beginning, we knew we wanted to take the 'Horsemen' to a place where mystery and magic are woven into the history,” film director Jon M. Chu said. “Macao is an exotic, beautiful, strange mix of Portuguese architecture and Chinese culture.
