Christian Bale and Hugh Jackman will fight for The Prestige
Based on Christopher Priest’s 1996 novel, Bale and Jackman play rival magicians in turn-of-the-century London who battle each other for trade secrets. Christopher Nolan (of Batman Begins and Memento fame) directs this movie and the star cast includes Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, David Bowie and Michael Caine.

Trivia about Christopher Nolan
- Gained major funding during the 1999 Hong Kong Film Festival by showing his film Following (1998) and then asking the audience to donate money to his next film Memento (2000).
- Is red and green colorblind.
- Doesn’t like CGI in movies and purposely avoided it when he made “Batman Begins“
- Following Insomnia, his next project was going to be a Howard Hughes biopic starring Jim Carrey. Nolan had the screenplay written (calling it “one of the best things I’ve ever written”), but once it became apparent Martin Scorsese was making his own Hughes biopic The Aviator (2004), Nolan reluctantly tabled his script and took up directing Batman Begins (2005).
