The Wikipedia version of the making of is Nolan read in 2000, optioned in 2001, tried to film in 2003 but then committed in 2005. Not sure how long The Illusionist was in gestation, but filmed first.
Presumably Norton didn't know about The Prestige (or Woody Allen's Scoop) but I don't think I would have left the line in a documentary.
It's like buses.
(There was also Magicians (2000), but who knew? - which is not to be confused with Magicians (2007))
I quite liked the sepia look at first - but it then made flashbacks very mirky (if clean - so many horses, so little...)
