New Trailer for Electrifying Film ‘The Current War’
Updated: June 25, 2019
Adopted From: yahoo.com
The film from 101 Studios stars Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison, Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla, and Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse.
Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon (“Me and Earl and the Dying Girl”), “The Current War” follows the race to bring electrical power to the masses, and the rivalry between Thomas Edison and George Westinghouse, aided by the legendary genius and maverick scientist Nikola Tesla.
Benedict Cumberbatch plays a famous inventor Thomas Edison, who, backed by JP Morgan (Matthew Macfadyen), is about to bring electricity to Manhattan with his radical new direct current (DC) technology.
But his plans are upset by businessman George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon) and young genius Nikola Tesla (Nicholas Hoult), who discover fatal flaws in Edison’s DC design. When Westinghouse and Tesla unveil their own solution to the problem, the rival alternating current (AC), the two sides battle for the right to power the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, sparking the “war of currents.”
Written by Michael Mitnick, “The Current War” also stars Katherine Waterston, Tom Holland and Tuppence Middleton.
