David Bowie almost turned down playing Nikola Tesla in The Prestige. Christopher Nolan personally flew to meet him, saying only Bowie’s larger-than-life presence could make Tesla’s cloning machine believable. Bowie agreed, cinema magic followed.

Christopher Nolan personally begged David Bowie to play Nikola Tesla in The Prestige. Nolan had no backup plan and admitted he had no idea where the film would go if Bowie said no. “It took me a while to convince him.” “I’d say I begged him.”

Christopher Nolan reveals the first time an actor said no to him was David Bowie, and he had to personally beg him to change his mind. Jimmy Fallon: Have you ever gotten a “no”? Christopher Nolan: Have I ever gotten a “no”? Yeah, I have. Jimmy Fallon: Besides me when I said I didn’t want to do Batman. Christopher Nolan: The only “no” I’ll admit to is David Bowie for The Prestige. He was my great idol, and I thought he’d be perfect to play Nikola Tesla. Christopher Nolan: We sent him the script and everything, and he said no. It was the first time I ever went back and said, “Can I just go and meet him? Can I try and convince him in the room?” Christopher Nolan: They agreed, so I quickly wrote him a better speech for his first appearance, showed up with a new script, and basically begged. I managed to turn that “no” into a “yes.” Jimmy Fallon: Yes! But you did get a “no” from the coolest kid in school.

David Bowie’s death shocked me. It still shocks me. Losing Bowie & Prince within 3 months is still something I can’t accept. I might never. Bowie inspired me in ways no other person has ever done. Christopher Nolan begged Bowie to star in The Prestige. I’m so glad he did.

David Bowie was a genius artist and a deep thinker. In 1999, only 6 years after the birth of the worldwide web, Bowie spoke about the "unimaginable" effects of the Internet on society.

David Bowie - Lady Stardust A sumptuous piano ballad, penned with Bolan in mind, drawing you into the orbit of androgynous outsiders. Ridiculed at first, only to win them over with his animal grace. 1972.

Christopher Nolan’s next film releases in 216 days. Reminder that one of Nolan’s best casting decisions was assigning David Bowie to play Nikola Tesla. It resulted in a few unforgettable moments in The Prestige. I’m excited to see some casting surprises in The Odyssey pop up.

47 Days out from Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey, a reminder that people should calm down over Nolan’s casting of TRAVIS SCOTT in his upcoming film. Nolan’s known to cast musicians in movies- it’s part of his process, whether it be David Bowie or Harry Styles. It’s a Nolan trademark.

Mud (2012) changed Matthew McConaughey's career trajectory. Christopher Nolan watched it and saw the potential he needed for Interstellar. "I knew he was a good actor, but I didn't know how much potential he had until I saw Mud," Nolan said.

The making of “Under Pressure” was total serendipity. In 1981, Queen and David Bowie were recording separate projects at Mountain Studio — which was owned by Queen — in Montreux, Switzerland. The group’s producer David Richards popped over to Bowie and asked if he wanted to jam. They all got boozed and decided to make a song together. Queen drummer Roger Taylor had penned some lyrics but Bowie took the songwriting lead and sprinkled his magic. The “Under Pressure” collaboration was an instant hit when it came out in October 1981 (author’s note: this song goes hard AF). However, Bowie never got to perform the song live with legendary Queen frontman Freddie Mercury. They were both present at the Live Aid Concert in 1985, but Bowie wasn’t able to jump onto the Queen set. In 1992, Bowie did get to perform a live event with Queen for a Freddy Mercury Tribute concert (Annie Lennox sang Mercury’s part). This video stitches those two performances to show Bowie and Mercury singing on stage “together”. Legends.
