As it remains one of the more underrated genre efforts in her filmography, Scarlett Johansson's The Prestige is about to get an exciting new release.

Based on Christopher Priest's 1996 novel of the same name, Christopher Nolan's sci-fi thriller was led by Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale as Robert Angier and Alfred Borden, English stage magicians locked in a bitter rivalry over a past tragedy, while also obsessing over an apparent teleportation illusion. With an ensemble cast also led by Johansson, Michael Caine and David Bowie, The Prestige garnered generally positive reviews from critics, and was a modest commercial success.

Now, in honor of the film's 20th anniversary, Disney has announced that The Prestige is officially getting a theatrical re-release. The Christopher Nolan-helmed sci-fi thriller will return to the big screen beginning January 29, 2027, while also receiving its first-ever 70mm and IMAX showings, alongside the traditional 35 mm and Digital 2D formats. Check out the teaser announcement and new poster below:

Hugh Jackman and Christian Bale star as Angier and Borden.
