forthcoming film The Prestige
This is the one about the dueling turn of the century magicians, right? I think we can expect to see both Bale and Jackman in tuxedos here.

A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

You do know that the UK has a different age of consent, right? They're not doing anything illegal over there.

Yup. Best idea for a movie EVER. If possibly influenced by Susannah Clarke perhaps maybe a little.

Rock idol David Bowie has landed a new movie role, playing the inventor and electrical genius Nikola Tesla.
Bowie, 58, will star alongside Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine in forthcoming film The Prestige, according to movie industry magazine Variety.
SWEET! Was that book popular? I liked it, but I didn't think anyone else had read it.
Neat casting.

FWIW, The Prestige (book) predates Clarke's more recent work.

Ah. Well, I can't say the world doesn't need more duelling magicians. The more the merrier.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
If David Bowie is playing him (please not with a fake Serbian accent), then it will be Tesla in his Long Island days, yes? Just prior to WWI. (I think Bowie is in his late 50s.)
Personally, I think the fight over AC vs. DC might have been more interesting, but that all went down when he was like 40.

Hee! She's a friend of my sister! It's entirely untrue, by the way.
