Definitely, but sorry to be "that guy", but it looks like from the trailer that Nolan completely fucked over the entire story of the book and is leaving out some of the creepier parts. He's a pro though so he'll make it work. |

| __________________________________ [Sep 2,2006 1:36pm - Dissector ""] I never heard of this movie either. But then again I don't watch TV so it's not like I could see any commercials for it. |
| _______________________________________ [Sep 2,2006 1:45pm - VoidExpression ""] The Illusionist is the new Edward Norton movie and The Presitge is the new Christopher Nolan/Christian Bale/Hugh Jackman movie. There's been a lot of hype because both are based on awesome books (Eisenheim the Illusionist and The Prestige) and are early Oscar contenders. Word has it The Illusion is good but the cast (with the exception of Norton) almost ruins it, Jessica Biel and Rufus Sewel - yikes. |

(so did aaron) as the preview for the prestige started i whispered in aaron's ear..ugh...i thought this was the movie we were gonna see...he laughed and said he thought so too..i got some of the actors messed up too anyhow, it was pretty good... ps: i don't watch a lot of TV..i read a lot though and i keep up with movies and what's coming out..also aaron and i go to the movies a lot and see tons of previews ... |

Oh man, if there were two movies that I would predict to be god awful in the next year or so, it's Apocalypto and Pathfinder ;). The former is going to be a pretentious self-indulgent piece of shit and the latter is just way too far fetched to even make any sense and is probably going to rely exclusively on the "epic" battle scenes to save it. The original is a decent film and has a solid premise, but moving this one to America and changing the plot around (from what I can tell anyway from the trailer) seems like a wierd decision, and fucking Eomer as a Viking raised by Native Americans, I'm not sure what they were thinking with that casting. It could be good stupid fun though! I'll still probably see it. |
