Are you watching closely? Twenty years to the day after it first hit U.S. theaters, The Walt Disney Studios announced today that Christopher Nolan’s “The Prestige” is returning to the big screen. The acclaimed thriller will be re-released in theaters beginning January 29, 2027, in celebration of the film’s 20th anniversary — and for the first time ever, it will screen in 70mm and IMAX.
Originally released on October 20, 2006, “The Prestige” stars Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as rival magicians in Victorian-era London whose obsession with outdoing each other turns dangerous. The film also features Scarlett Johansson, Michael Caine, Rebecca Hall, and David Bowie as Nikola Tesla. It earned two Academy Award nominations, for Best Cinematography and Best Art Direction, and has only grown in reputation since — regularly landing on lists of the best films of the 2000s.
New Poster and Teaser
An all-new poster for the re-release is available now, and Disney has also dropped a teaser for the anniversary engagement:
If you’ve only ever seen “The Prestige” at home, this is the release to catch — a twisty, meticulously crafted film presented in 70mm and IMAX for the first time. Just remember the first rule of the pledge: never reveal the secret.
