Rock idol David Bowie is in negotiations to play
Nikola Tesla in Christopher Nolan's The Prestige. Other
movies by director Christopher Nolan include Batman Begins, netting $205
million, and Insomnia, which netted $67 million.
The new Nolan movie being produced by Touchstone Pictures is a thriller set in
the world of magic, featuring rival magicians in early 20th century London.
The Tesla character is based on the real-life Serbian-American inventor who
discovered the rotating magnetic field.
Cast members of Prestige include Hugh Jackman,
Christian Bale and Michael Caine.
Based on Christopher Priest's 1996 novel,
Bale and Jackman play rival magicians in turn-of-the-century London who battle
each other for trade secrets. The rivalry is so intense that it turns them into
murderers.
Bowies film credits include 1976's The Man who Fell to Earth. He
last acted in a movie in the fantasy Mr. Rice's Secret in 2000. Bowie
will also provide a voice for Leon director Luc Besson's forthcoming animated
film Arthur and the Minimoys.
Having Nikola Tesla featured like this is a major development in terms of giving
significant stage presence to one of the most brilliant and neglected
scientists this planet has ever seen. It reflects a trend toward greater esteem
for a man who should have dominated the science history books, rather than being
relegated to footnotes as he has been. As the inventor of AC power, radio,
wireless transmission, etc., he is indisputably one of the most important
inventors of the technological age.
The mainstream media are jumping on this story because of Bowie's rock icon
status. The New
Zeland Herald some good coverage on this, reviewing the life of Tesla --
an example of the exposure that this development will provide. A definite
plus for the field of free energy research and development.
