The Prestige

Sunday, July 16, 2006

I haven’t read/heard/seen too much about The Prestige, primarily because I haven’t devoted as much time to it as I have to Transformers. However, i’m really looking forward to it for one reason: Christian Bale <3. Oh, and it also stars Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johansson, and is directed by Christopher Nolan. Not a bad team.

The Prestige is based on the well-reviewed novel of the same name by author Christpoher Priest. The film is:

...a mysterious story of two magicians whose intense rivalry leads them on a life-long battle for supremacy full of obsession, deceit and jealousy with dangerous and deadly consequences.

I’m in!

The trailer looks quite interesting, and it seems like the movie may reveal some closely guarded magic secrets. If so, I hope they explain how David Copperfield flies.

Book review coming soon.
