Christopher Nolan’s The Prestige will return to cinemas on January 29, 2027, with its first screenings in IMAX and on 70mm film as Disney marks the thriller’s 20th anniversary.
The studio announced the re-release on October 20, sharing a teaser and new poster. IMAX’s official film listing also confirms the January date, while Disney says the film will additionally be available in 35mm and digital 2D formats.
Originally released on October 20, 2006, The Prestige centres on rival magicians played by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale. Their characters, Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, begin as partners before a disastrous performance turns them against each other.
Their pursuit of the perfect illusion develops into a competition driven by secrecy, deception and sabotage. Michael Caine and Scarlett Johansson also star, alongside Rebecca Hall, Andy Serkis and David Bowie.
Nolan directed the film and co-wrote its screenplay with his brother Jonathan, adapting Christopher Priest’s novel. Emma Thomas, Aaron Ryder and Nolan produced the feature, which received two Academy Award nominations, for cinematography and art direction.
In a statement accompanying the announcement, Nolan welcomed the opportunity to bring the film back to audiences in the expanded range of cinema formats.
