    Default The Prestige

    The more I hear about this movie the cooler it sounds. It already stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as dueling Victorian era Magicians and has Michael Caine, Scarlett Johanson and David Bowie (playing Nikola Tesla) and now according to AICN Andy Serkis is now in this movie play Tesla's assistant.

    A movie starring Batman, Wolverine, Gollum and David Bowie seems like something worth seeing.

    Neat. I have the book, by Christopher Priest (the British Christopher Priest, not the former Jim Owsley), and it's very good, but I hadn't heard they were making a movie out of it.

    I've been meaning to check it out. Maybe I'll stop by Barnes & Nobles after work.

    Hell, I never thought of it like that. I was planning on watching it, unless it got torn to shreds, but that just sounds cool. I also find it amusing David Bowie doesn't need a made-up counterpart to stand with frickin' Batman, Wolverine, and Gollum.

    I was tempted to say Ziggy Stardust. Or the Man Who Fell to Earth (one of my favorite movies).

    Here's The Trailer. Looks pretty cool. I can notice a few deviations from the book but it looks like a fun little flick.

    Should be a great movie. It was a cool book.

    And now Nolan can concentrate on a Batman sequel again, hopefully.

    I saw the trailer for this the other day and I might catch it it the theaters. It looks itneresting enough.

    I got a question: What is it with magicians now? Between this and the one with Ed Norton and a rumored Doc Strange, its like a magic resurgence.

    That looks really good. Is it true that Brandon Routh and Tobey Maguire each have cameo roles?







    Just kidding.

    Why stop there. Guest starring Frodo, The Thing, Buffy while Yoda and Spock would codirect it.

    And every nerd in the country would go see this movie.

    Read the news about those movies again knowing what you know about Wanda.

    Anyone else really excited about this very interesting movie with a great cast in Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Micheal Caine and Scarlett Johansson?

    Been waiting for a while for this movie to come out. I think this might be one of the best movies this fall.

    And David Bowie is playing Tesla.
