There hasn't been a great Houdini movie produced to date, and Trachtenberg's involvement gives me hope that we might get something on the level of Christopher Nolan's The Prestige. There have also been a bunch of made-for-television movies, including the 2014 miniseries which starred Adrien Brody as Houdini and the 2016 failed Fox television series Houdini and Doyle.

If there are instructions, it will be noted. Therefore they may have, marks, scratches, dents, etc.
Initiating the reader along the way into the arcane world of professional magic, Kalush and Sloman decode a life based on deception, providing an intimate and riveting portrayal of Houdini, the man and the legend. The Secret Life of Houdini traces the arc of the master magician’s life from desperate poverty to worldwide fame-his legacy later threatened by a group of fanatical Spiritualists led by esteemed British author Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.
Drawing from millions of pages of research, they describe in vivid detail the passions that drove Houdini to perform ever-more-dangerous feats, his secret life as a spy, and a pernicious plot to subvert his legacy. Now, in this groundbreaking biography, renowned magic expert William Kalush and bestselling writer Larry Sloman team up to find the man behind the myth. Since his death eighty-eight years ago, Harry Houdini’s life has been chronicled in books, in film, and on television.
