WOW! The Great David Bowie is playing the even Greater Nikola Tesla in an upcoming movie called "The Presige"! I haven't been this excited about a flick since I first heard that Gary Oldman was going to play Dracula way back when (yes, I know it sucked, but still, it did have Oldman playing Dracula). Even though I'm guessing Bowie will be in this movie for all of 10 seconds, I'll forgive him, as this also takes place in turn-of-the-century London (my favourite era), plus there's murder and magic to hopefully keep me entertained.
To see my original Tesla painting, click here.
*Note: if I were going to cast someone for a more "true to life" Tesla movie though it would have to be Daniel Day Lewis. I just want to clarify that.
This does look interesting. All that Victoriana, with the thin white duke slinking around in wires and gizmos, rotating the magnetic field, tinkering with his polyphase alternating-currents. Maybe throw in a few of those Frankenstein electric charge machine.
Best casting since Spencer Tracy acted in "The World of Gertrude Stein" back in the 1940s.
Bonni should have done the film poster, for sure.

I can't wait for Heino's review!
Awesome work as always, Miz Bon.
