Book Description Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Set in late 19th century London, the film tells of Rupert Angier (Hugh Jackman), a popular American magician, with his British mentor Harry Cutter (Michael Caine) and girlfriend and assistant Olivia (Scarlett Johansson), who is in a friendly rivalry with Cockney magician Alfred Borden (Christian Bale). However, it soon turns into a jealous rivalry, as Rupert tries to discover the secrets of Alfred's success. It soon emerges though he may have real magical powers. From film-maker Christopher Nolan ("Memento," "Batman Begins") and writer Jonathan Nolan (whose original short story 'Memento Mori' was the basis of "Memento") comes a mysterious tale of two magicians whose intense rivalry erupts into a life-long battle lethally fueled by obsession, deceit, and jealousy. In late nineteenth-century England, two stage illusionists are drawn into a match of wits, each desiring to annihilate the reputation of the other. Upper-class Robert Angier (Hugh Jackman) enjoys worldwide fame, while cockney Alfred Borden (Christian Bale) is his most ardent rival. Their antagonism is also a mutual fascination, but the competition between them leads to evermore dangerous acts of conjuring. When Angier raises the stakes by consulting scientist Nikola Tesla (David Bowie), the potential for a deadly reckoning draws near. This volume contains an Introduction by Jonathan Nolan and Christopher Nolan. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.
