Following its debut over two years ago at the Toronto Film Festival, The Current War is getting ready to hit theaters with a  new official trailer. 

The Marin Scorcese-produced lets us glimpse into the dramatic battle over electricity starring Benedict Cumberbatch as Thomas Edison, Nicholas Hoult as Nikola Tesla, and Michael Shannon as George Westinghouse.

The trailer features the three duke it out in what would be known as “the war of the currents.”

“This is a battle of the greatest minds of America,” Edison says. Westinghouse adds, “If you want to be remembered, it’s simple: Shoot a president. But if you prefer to have what I call a legacy, you leave the world a better place than you found it.”

The film is directed by Alfonso Gomez-Rejon from a script by Michael Mitnick. 

The Current War is set to premiere this fall.

The Oscar-winning actor has teamed up again with longtime collaborator Grant Heslov to produce the feature adaptation of Lily Brooks-Dalton’s 2016 novel. The sci-fi thriller was named one of the best books of 2017 by the Chicago Review of Books. 

The screenplay will be penned by The Revenant and Overlord scribe  Mark L. Smith.

According to Variety, the post-apocalyptic tale follows the parallel stories of Augustine (Clooney), a lonely scientist in the Arctic, and an astronaut on board the Aether spacecraft, which is trying to return home to Earth, as Augustine races to make contact with the spaceship.

“Grant and I couldn’t be more excited to be involved with this incredible project,” Clooney said in a statement. “Mark is a writer we’ve long admired and his script is haunting. We’re thrilled to be working with our friends at Netflix as well.”

“Having known and worked with George for over two decades, I can’t think of anyone better to bring this amazing story to life,” Scott Stuber, head of Netflix’s film division, added. “The book is powerful and moving, and Mark’s adaptation is beautifully written. At its core, this is a story about human nature, and one that I know our global audiences will fall in love with, just like I did when I read it.”

Venom producer has confirmed that Tom Hardy is on board the Venom sequel.

2018’s Venom was definitely a surprise hit, grossing more than films like Wonder Woman and Thor: Ragnarok, bringing in more than $800 million worldwide. 

“I can say that Tom Hardy will be back, magnificently playing that character as no one else can,” producer Amy Pascal told Fandango. “When you think of Venom, you’ll never be able to think of anyone but Tom Hardy sitting in that bathtub of lobsters. And once you saw Tom Hardy do this character, that’s all you needed to know.”

There are no concrete details of the sequel story line but it’s safe to assume that convicted serial killer Cletus Kasady played by Woody Harrelson, who made an appearance in the end scenes of the original, will make a comeback.
