In Toronto, the film festival is in full swing now. Yesterday, the ribbon "War of the Currents" was presented to the jury and spectators, in which Harvey Weinstein and Timur Bekmambetov were the producers. It was they who became the main figures who presented this picture, and the co-star of this film, the star of the cinema Benedikt Cumberbatch, came to support them.
"War of the Currents" - a non-industrial story about geniuses
In the plot of the tape "The War of the Currents" was a real story about the life of three brilliant scientists from America - Nikola Tesla, George Westinghouse and Thomas Edison. The first two insisted on the use of alternating current, whereas Edison advocated the use of only a constant one. Thomas was a very talented and brilliant scientist who decided to start a company called Edison Electric Light. She was involved in the construction of DC power plants. After some time Westinghouse realized that direct current can not be transmitted over long distances. This became known to Nicole Tesle and he, without hesitation, left Edison Electric Light, in which he worked recently. The opposition of the supporters of the two different conceptions of the current supply lasted almost 100 years and ended only in 2007, when the last DC wire was symbolically cut in America.

Cumberbatch told about his picture character
British film actor Benedict Cumberbatch in the film "The War of the Currents" won the role of Thomas Edison. About his character Benedict says these words:
"If you characterize Edison in a few words, then he is a fallen hero. Thomas could have gone down in history as the greatest personality, but he decided not to. My character was obsessed with his idea of using DC. It was she who led him to collapse. When I studied the script, I realized that I was going to play a genius who could become a god in industry. Edison is a talent with many shortcomings, fixated on his theory. "
In addition to Cumberbatch, the viewer will see in the film Michael Shannon, who will reincarnate as George Westinghouse, as well as Nicholas Holt, who will become Nikola Tesla. The director of the tape was a young but very talented specialist Alfonso Gomez-Rehon. On large screens, the tape "War of the Currents" will be released on November 24 this year.
