Bowie To Play Tesla

[HARD ROCK UNIVERSE]

David Bowie is to star in a new movie with Michael Caine.

The Prestige follows the story of two competing magicians.

The 58-year-old rockstar will play inventor and electrical wizard Nikola Tesla who is asked by one of the magicians to help him pull off the ultimate magic trick.

Caine plays a veteran magician in the Christopher Nolan directed movie which also co-stars Hugh Jackson and Christian Bale, reports Variety.

The movie, adapted from Christopher Priest's novel by Jonathan Nolan will begin shooting in January.

Whew! I should have looked at the "board" this was on. When I first saw "Bowie to play Tesla"...I thought he was going to cover some of their songs. I just can't picture Bowie singing Modern Day Cowboy for some reason.
