Bowie to star in dark thriller
Rock legend David Bowie is to play inventor Nikola Tesla in The Prestige, a dark thriller to be directed by Chris Nolan (Batman Begins). The story centres on the rivalry between magicians in London at the turn of the 20th century. Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine have already signed on to star in the movie, which is based on the 1996 novel of the same name.
Bowie's previous film roles have included parts in The Man Who Fell To Earth (1976), Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence (1983), Basquiat (1996), and, most recently, Mr Rice's Secret (2000).
Bowie became friendly with Nolan when he wrote the tune Something In The Air for the close of Nolan's breakthrough film, Memento.
Filming will begin on The Prestige in January.
Well! How exciting is that! A NEW Bowie movie!!!!!
