“Are you watching closely?” Disney has revealed the first teaser trailer announcing their plans to re-release the 2006 dueling magicians classic The Prestige, made by Christopher Nolan as his fifth feature film at the time. Believe it or not, this was released by Disney under the Buena Vista Pictures label in 2006 (by Warner Bros worldwide). Nolan’s thriller The Prestige is returning to the big screen on January 29th, 2027 – for a theatrical run including in IMAX 70mm. In celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary. “I’m very excited to bring The Prestige back to the big screen, and particularly thrilled to offer audiences the chance to see it on 70mm film, and on IMAX for the first time,” Nolan reveals. Set in the late 1800s, two magicians dismantle each other’s lives to outmaneuver each other following a shared tragedy. They chase the ultimate illusion across Victorian London (and to Colorado & back), sacrificing sanity and safety to master a teleportation feat. Starring Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson, Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis, and featuring David Bowie as Tesla. Shot by Wally Pfister; score by David Julyan. This is one of my all-time favorites (it’s on my Top 10) and perhaps still is Nolan’s best movie. I love everything about it, particularly the atmospheric cinematography. And the performances from both Jackman & Bale are extraordinary, quite moving and so intense. I couldn’t be more excited to re-experience in the cinema again.
Here’s the re-release teaser trailer for Christopher Nolan’s classic The Prestige, direct from YouTube:
Hugh Jackman, Christian Bale, Michael Caine, Scarlett Johansson star in The Prestige, a twisting, turning story that, like all great magic tricks, stays with you long after the final reveal. Robert Angier (Jackman), a charismatic showman, and Alfred Borden (Bale), a gifted illusionist, are young, passionate magicians – friends and partners until one fateful night when their biggest trick goes terribly wrong. Now the bitterest of enemies, they will stop at nothing to learn each other’s secrets. As their rivalry escalates into a total obsession full of deceit and sabotage, they risk everything to become the greatest magician of all time. But nothing is as it seems, watch closely. The Prestige is directed by acclaimed British filmmaker Christopher Nolan, his 5th movie at the time just after Batman Begins (2005) and before The Dark Knight (2008). The screenplay is written by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan; based on the book titled “The Prestige” by Christopher Priest. Produced by Christopher Nolan, Aaron Ryder, Emma Thomas. The movie first opened in theaters in October 2006 and earned an impressive $106 million at the box office. Disney is re-releasing Nolan’s The Prestige movie in theaters + IMAX starting on January 29th, 2027 early next year. Who’s in?
