He's a Magic Man

Every once in a while, a trailer will come along that lights a bonfire under your ass... gives you that, "Holy shit, I have to see this movie right fucking now arrrrrggggghhh!!!" feeling that only the super-nerdy amongst us ever get.

Girls, boys, this is that trailer:

It's for the new movie The Prestige, which is directed by Christopher Nolan, he of Batman Begins and Memento fame. The dude knows his way around a weird story, for sure, and this one, about dueling magicians at the turn of the century, may well prove to be his greatest Wow.

Fair Warning: Despite the trailer's kickassedness, it it could reasonably be accused of giving too much of the story away. I mean, we don't fine out that Hugh Jackman's been dead the whole time or anything, but still. Just a heads up.
