This looks like it may be a good one. Directed by Christopher Nolan (Batman Begins), it stars Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Michael Caine, and Scarlett Johansson, it's the story of two turn of 20th century magicians rivalry over who can do the most outrageous trick. Evidently, things turn deadly.

Though he's not in the trailer, but David Bowie plays Nikola Tesla in the movie with Andy Serkis as his assistant. I hope everyone here knows who Tesla was (the real inventor of radio). I've done a lot of reading on the man and look forward to see Bowie and Nolan's take on him.

This looks very enjoyable, I have recently read a story featuring Houdini an dthis would fit my mood right well.  
You know Tesla is the darling of many conspiracy theorists.  Apparently he inveneted EVRYTHING and wa ssupressed

Yes, I absolutely want to see this one, and was tickled to see Bowie playing Tesla.  The trailer, to me, looked amazing.  

I was listening to Tesla the band the other day, and thought to myself I wonder how many people actually knew anything about Nikola Tesla at the height of their popularity.  I would imagine fans of theirs would have to be familiar, but.....they even had an album called the Great Radio Controversy, and their website has a little historical information on the man.

When I saw Bowie playing Tesla, I had the same thought.  I bet most people my age (27) and younger probably associate Tesla with the band rather than the inventor.

    Earth is visited by a GIANT ANTIMATTER SPACE BUZZARD! Gawk at the amazingly bad bird puppet, or chuckle over the silly dialog. This is one of the greatest b-movies ever made.
