Edison. Westinghouse. Tesla. Three brilliant visionaries set off in a charged battle for the future. The Current War, is the epic story of the cutthroat competition that literally lit up the modern world.
I don’t know why it’s taken me so long to see this trailer, but I went to watch The Farewell, the other day and finally came across this gem.
First of all, The Current War is such a perfect name for this movie. Some movie titles are just plain ridiculous or don’t relate. But this title is so satisfying and the trailer is the right amount of drama and intrigue that it’s a perfect fit.
Also, I’m excited to see my man Benedict Cumber-snack play Thomas Edison against General Zod, aka: Michael Shannon. And is that Peter Parker (Tom Holland) in this movie too? The cast looks great so there’s a good chance I’ll be watching this in theaters.
For more trailers, check out the sequel to Jumanji 2: The Next Level.
From 101 Studios:
Benedict Cumberbatch is Thomas Edison, the celebrity inventor. He is on the verge of bringing electricity to Manhattan with his radical new DC technology. On the eve of triumph, his plans are upended by charismatic businessman George Westinghouse (Michael Shannon). Westinghouse believes he and his partner, the upstart genius Nikolai Tesla (Nicholas Hoult), have a superior idea for how to rapidly electrify America: with AC current. As Edison and Westinghouse grapple for who will power the nation, they spark one of the first and greatest corporate feuds in American history. Directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon with Producer Timur Bekmambetov, Basil Iwanyk and Executive Producer Martin Scorsese.
