Suspiciously Similar Movie Showdown

The Prestige vs. The Illusionist (2006)



Pitch: Let's invent a premise so unique, there's no way our competition will come out with something similar! I'm thinking a movie about obsession and love between lifetime rivals, set against the backdrop of Victorian era magic! Let's see them copy tha - they're making what now?!


Crucial Differences: Despite each being billed as 'that other magician movie,' only the Hugh Jackman/Christian Bale vehicle The Prestige is really about magic. The Illusionist just uses magic as a draw to trick you into watching a period romance, which in turn ends up just being an exercise in exactly how creepy Ed Norton looks next to Jessica Biel.

Winner: Clearly The Prestige, or as we like to call it, Batman vs. Wolverine (With Magic!)
