I get so excited when I see a trailer for a movie that isn't a remake or a sequel or the eight millionth attempt at a horror picture. Enter "The Prestige". Check it out here:

(watch the hd version if your computer can handle it).
Apparently the next genre for Hollywood to focus on is magic.
The Prestige is about a couple of magicians. Edward Norton is playing a magician in
The Illusionist. Woody Allen is getting into the act in his next film,
Scoop. There is also a film with Jeremy Piven called
Smokin' Aces.
Anyway, I hope The Prestige and The Illusionist are entertaining because they look like they have potential. I'm just glad to see that there is still a smidgen of originality left in Hollywood!
