Bowie će glumiti Teslu
David Bowie glumit će u novom filmu Christophera Nolana. Iako su glavne uloge pripale Hughu Jacksonu, Christianu Baleu i Michaelu Caineu, roker će zato glumiti istinskog genija - Teslu osobno.
U novom filmu The Prestige, koji prati međusobno natjecanje dva slavna mađioničara, pedesetosomogodišnji Bowie glumit će genijalnog izumitelja Nikolu Teslu.
Odlukom scenarista Tesla će na molbu jednog mađioničara opremiti kulisu za izvođenje vrhunskog trika.
Michael Caine glumi veterana mađioničara, dok su glavne uloge pripale Hughu Jacksonu i Christianu Baleu, izvještava Variety.
Priču iz romana Christophera Priesta za film je adaptirao Jonathan Nolan. Redatelj film je Christopher Nolan, a samo snimanje zakazano je za siječanj sljedeće godine.
LOS ANGELES (Hollywood Reporter) - Rock star David Bowie is in talks to play inventor Nikola Tesla in "The Prestige," a thriller from "Batman Begins" director Christopher Nolan.
The cast also includes Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale and Michael Caine in a tale of rival magicians in early 20th century London. The Tesla character is based on the real-life Serbian-American who discovered the rotating magnetic field.
The script, on which Nolan is working, is based on Christopher Priest's 1996 novel and was adapted by Nolan's brother, Jonathan, who also wrote the short story on which Nolan's breakout movie, "Memento," was based.
The movie is scheduled to shoot in January with a budget in the $40 million range. Disney will distribute the film domestically, and Warner Bros. internationally.
Bowie's acting credits range from 1976's "The Man Who Fell to Earth" to 1983's "Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence," 1966's "Basquiat" and, most recently, 2000's "Mr. Rice's Secret."
