The Prestige

Filed under: Movies — bblackmoor @ 23:10

Here’s the best movie news I have heard in a long time: Christian Bale (of American Psycho, Equilibrium, and Batman Begins) and Hugh Jackman (of X-Men, Kate & Leopold, and Van Helsing) are this close to signing on to appear in the film adaptation of The Prestige, the 1996 novel by Christopher Priest. Anything I could tell about the novel would give away the trick, so to speak: go read it. Even more good news: Christopher Nolan (of Memento and Batman Begins) is slated to direct. If the studio will stay out the way, this could be a truly great film.
