Here’s a weird one for you. Christopher Nolan, director of Memento, Insomnia and Batman Begins has a new flick out called The Prestige. It’s based on Christopher Priest’s 1996 novel about duelling magicians and stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine and Scarlet Johansson. It also features David Bowie as Nikola Tesla, which is a tad weird.
The trailer, now up on the Apple web site, looks a lot more interesting than the movie sounds from my brief description, so give it a try and see what you think.

Everyone loves Philip K Dick. A man who seemed to have 97 original ideas every minute, who would throw away concepts on a short story others would regard as the pinnacle of their writing careers, he’s probably one of the most influential writers of the last 50 years.
