Olivia Wilde, Steve Carell, and Jim Carrey joined up to premiere The Incredible Burt Wonderstone in LA yesterday. Olivia wore a stunning black Gucci gown to pose for photos while her fiancé, Jason Sudeikis, bypassed the red carpet and headed straight into the event at the famed Chinese Theatre. Steve, meanwhile, posed with his wife, Nancy. Other celebrity attendees included magician David Copperfield, Melissa Joan Hart, and Steven Tyler.

The Hollywood debut comes just a few days after the cast flew out to Austin to screen the film at SXSW and less than 24 hours after Olivia Wilde's interview in Marie Claire came out. In the magazine feature, Olivia spoke about her relationship with Jason and her 2011 divorce from Italian aristocrat Tao Ruspoli. She said, "I'm so grateful for the pain and the heartbreak [from the divorce]. It gave me the courage to leave and brought me to the great love of my life."

Steve Carell to Work His Magic For Burt Wonderstone

Steve Carell is adding another film to his growing slate of upcoming projects: the actor is in talks for Burt Wonderstone, a comedy set in the world of Las Vegas magicians.

Steve Carell is adding another film to his growing slate of upcoming projects: the actor is in talks for Burt Wonderstone, a comedy set in the world of Las Vegas magicians. Carell will play part of a two-man team whose other half dies during a stunt gone wrong. After the tragedy, he must learn to keep going by rediscovering his love for magic.

This almost sounds like a sick twist on the Siegfried and Roy accident, but I'm going to trust that if Carell is eyeing the script, it must be funnier than it sounds. At least we know that Carell has already been practicing his magic tricks on the set of The Office.
