Db Talks About The Prestige Private Screening

Here are we, one magical moment…

David and Iman were photographed arriving at a private screening of The Prestige in New York last night, (Wednesday) as evidenced in the above WireImage.com shot.

The evening’s entertainment took place at….Actually, why don’t I hand you over to the magic man himself to tell you about it…

“We went to a private screening of The Prestige last night. Special event in aid of Hugh Jackman on cover of Vogue Homme. They threw the screening and small dinner at intimate Philippe Chow uptown restaurant afterwards.

Film went down very well causing all present to spend dinner trying to analyse and work out the complex Chris Nolan style screenplay. (Remember Memento??)”

Thanx for that David, you’re always very welcome around these parts you know! For the record, Bowie wore Jil Sander and Iman wore a period 1900s jacket and blouse with jeans.

Reviews praising DB’s portrayal of Nikola Tesla have begun appearing, a few of which I’ve pasted excerpts from below…

Variety – “On the other hand, perpetually undervalued as an actor Bowie brings an elegant, enlivening edge to Tesla…”

Hollywood Reporter – “Bowie is quite wonderful as Tesla — mysterious, exotic yet somehow the film’s most reasonable man…”

Los Angeles Times – “Having this great original (Nikola Tesla) played by another great original, David Bowie, was a stroke of casting genius. Bowie gives an immaculate performance…”

Arizona Daily Star – “Bale and Jackman are intense and passionate. David Bowie matches their efforts, entering the film at the midpoint as scientist Nikola Tesla…”

MSNBC – “Bowie effectively plays Tesla as if he were an indifferent alien, resigned to the unfortunate fact that mankind can tolerate only so many innovations at a time…”

That last line could almost be describing one TJ Newton…Anyway, well done David, sounds like you’ve turned in yet another cracking performance.

The Prestige opens across The States tomorrow. (Friday)
