Trailer : Tesla is Ethan Hawke’s Tesla vs Kyle MacLachlan’s Edison

IFC Films have released a new trailer for “Tesla”, opening in theaters and VOD August 21.

Starring Ethan Hawke in the title role, the film fixes on the brilliant, visionary as fights an uphill battle to bring his revolutionary electrical system to fruition, then faces thornier challenges with his new system for worldwide wireless energy. The film tracks Tesla’s uneasy interactions with his fellow inventor Thomas Edison (Kyle MacLachlan) and his patron George Westinghouse (Jim Gaffigan). Another thread traces Tesla’s sidewinding courtship of financial titan J.P. Morgan (Donnie Keshawarz), whose daughter Anne (Eve Hewson) takes a more than casual interest in the inventor. Anne analyzes and presents the story as it unfolds, offering a distinctly modern voice to this scientific period drama which, like its subject, defies convention.

Michael Almereyda directs.
