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.
Warning: highly dodgy accents on display!

I’m Rob Buckley, a journalist who writes for UK media magazines that most people have never heard of although you might have heard me on the podcast Lockdown Land or Radio 5 Live’s Saturday Edition or Afternoon Edition. I’ve edited Dreamwatch, Sprocket and Cambridge Film Festival Daily; been technical editor for TV producers magazine Televisual; reviewed films for the short-lived newspaper Cambridge Insider; written features for the even shorter-lived newspaper Soho Independent; and was regularly sarcastic about television on the blink-and-you-missed-it “web site for urban hedonists” The Tribe. Since going freelance, I've contributed to the likes of Broadcast, Total Content + Media, Action TV, Off The Telly, Action Network, TV Scoop and The Custard TV.
