Michael Caine will reunite with his Batman Begins director Christopher Nolan when he joins the cast of The Prestige. He’ll play a retired magician who teaches Hugh Jackman his tricks of the trade. The Prestige sees Jackman’s conjurer develop a bitter rivalry with a fellow performer, played by Christian Bale.
But before he reports to Nolan’s set, he’s off to London to join the cast of Children Of Men, which already boasts Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Chiwetel Ejiofor. Caine will appear as an old hippie in the futuristic tale.
Can't wait that long? Caine will next be seen in The Weather Man, alongside Nicolas Cage.
