The Prestige
The release date for The
Prestige is finally closing in and Touchstone Pictures is working behind
the curtain to fulfill their promise that the film is fabuloso.
The Prestige Featurette
From the time that they first met as young magicians on the rise, Robert
Angier (Hugh Jackman) and Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) were competitors.
However, their friendly competition evolves into a bitter rivalry making
them fierce enemies-for-life and consequently jeopardizing the lives of
everyone around them. Full of twists and turns, The Prestige is set against
the backdrop of turn-of-the-century London, the exceptional cast includes
two-time Oscar winner Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson and David Bowie.
The new featurette for The Prestige takes a look at this
rivalry for the first two-thirds and then spends the last third constantly
repeating the promise that The Prestige is going to blow audiences away.
Nolan, Bale, Caine, Jackman, Serkis and other cast/crew members all seem
to agree on one thing -- this film is going to kick our ass and 'make us
jump.'
