The Current War has been doing the round in Hollywood for over five years, but it’s only now that it’s going in front of the camera. To mark the start of production, the first image from the movie has been released via Entertainment Tonight, featuring Benedict Cumberbatch as the legendary Thomas Edison.
The movie takes place in the late-1880s and revolves around power titans Edison and George Westinghouse’s as the battle over who will control the supply of electricity. Edison championed direct current (DC) for electric power distribution over Westinghouse’s alternating current (AC), which was backed by several European companies and Westinghouse Electric. It became an increasingly vicious public battle as each side tried to destroy confidence in the other.
Michael Shannon play Westinghouse, Katherine Waterston, Tom Holland, Matthew Macfadyen, Tuppence Middleton, and Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla.
