Wouldn't it be weirdly ironic if Andy Serkis somehow ended up being the most successful actor to come out of Lord of the Rings. Alright, maybe there's not much chance he'll beat Orlando Bloom, but Viggo is certainly in his sights. He's popping up everywhere in great little character roles. I just saw him in Stormbreaker for instance, and in a few months he'll be in the highly anticipated Christopher Nolan movie The Prestige.
I'd somehow failed to notice he was in The Prestige until just now when I received a stack of great new stills for the film from Touchstone. One of them is a great pic of Serkis, and suddenly a light went on in my head and I remembered that he's featured in the trailers for it as well.
Even without Serkis, these are some rather great stills from the movie. Some of them are shots we've seen in the trailer, but at least a couple of them look new to me. See for yourself by visiting our stills gallery right here.
Look for Andy Serkis, Christian Bale, Hugh Jackman, Scarlett Johansson, Piper Perabo, and David Bowie in theaters as part of Nolan's Prestige on October 20th.
