Thin White movie star
(Tuesday November 22, 2005 02:48 AM)
David Bowie is set to make a return to movie screens with an appearance in a new film from "Batman Begins" director Christopher Nolan.
BowieNolan's new thriller, "The Prestige".
Bowie will reportedly play a character named Nikola Tesla in the movie, which is also expected to feature Christian Bale, Michael Caine and Hugh Jackman.
Nolan, who broke into the mainstream with "Memento", is scheduled to begin shooting the film in January with a budget of around $40 million.
Meanwhile, Bowie has become the last rock star to give The Arctic Monkeys his seal of approval, after watching them at a show in New York last week.
Bowie explained what he thought of the highly-rated Sheffield quartet in a posting on his official website. He explained: "Popped in to see The Arctic Monkeys at the Bowery Ballroom Wednesday night.
"They had some good songs, a great drummer and generally rocked the house. A nice solid Brit band. Personalities sort of reminded me of a young Action (if anyone remembers them)."
